any excuses for her. She thought it was earlier, actually. She thought it was 2:06 A.M. or <br />something, which doesn't make any difference, it's the same thing. <br />Giffin: Thank you. <br />Smith: I have a question. Brandon, does this Licensee have any prior issues? <br />Gonzalez: Thank you. The license was originally issued on February 19, 2014. Yes, <br />there is a prior violation. In November of 2014, the Licensee had band members <br />performing; consuming liquor while they were performing. <br />Smith: Three years ago? <br />Gonzalez: Yes. <br />Fuke: Any further questions? I have a few. Do you have a clock somewhere in the <br />establishment? <br />Tomlinson: Yes, we do. I would like to say it's an isolated incident. The only people, <br />and I've spoken with Steve and Kalani; the only people that are even considered to be <br />allowed after work would be a ride for an employee. And most of the time, they stay in <br />the car. But a taxi driver can be inside after, just waiting. That's the only time it would <br />ever be considered. She made a mistake, a bad mistake. Whether she was consciously <br />doing it or time legitimately got away from her doesn't make any difference to me. She <br />does understand the gravity of this versus any other offense as all the employees do. We <br />take this very seriously. We had an employee meeting the week after to discuss this <br />specific issue and more issues. I don't want to let anything get away from us. I was at <br />Ulu's in Coconut Grove for years and that was something inherited so that was more of <br />an issue. We're smaller, but I want to comply and do everything the correct way as <br />everybody's known. The pieces are there for her to know what time it is—absolutely. <br />Fuke: When was the suspension? Did the suspension occur immediately after you were <br />cited? <br />Tomlinson: Immediately. She normally comes on Tuesday night and she knew on <br />Monday morning that she was not going to work. <br />Fuke: So she's back at work? <br />Tomlinson: She's back at work now, yes. <br />Fuke: You said she was doing like a "one-man show" after hours? <br />Tomlinson: That's pretty much what I heard, yes. That is what I heard. <br />Fuke: You've never heard of her being an entertainer while she's at work at the same <br />time? <br />Tomlinson: No. <br />DECEMBER 7, 2017 - LIQUOR ADJUDICATION BOARD MINUTES 5 <br />
