store Tike this, their paperwork should be (updated); they don't usually have kids frequenting the place. Mukai: Mr. Chair, I have a two-part point of information or question. First, as part of the liquor inspector's list of things to do, when they go to an establishment like this, do they ask to see a list of all the card holders and expiration dates? Is that a normal procedure? Gonzalez: We instruct the licensees that their license needs to be posted for clear visibility and that the card holder list which you're referring to has to be ready for ease of inspection. Our advice to them is to post it next to their license so it's in the same area. Sometimes because they don't want people ripping it down, it's in the general vicinity like by the register or by the manager's desk. Mukai: The second part to my question is in instances where the inspector actually gets to view the list of permit holders, what percentage of their inspection do they find a person's name listed on there that their card has expired? Not just the employees that are on the premises, but any of the card holders on the list. Do you have any record of that? Gonzalez: We don't keep that specific statistic. What happens more often is people quit or don't work there, so you can see the names on the list that are crossed out. According to our rules, the duty is upon the licensee to update that persons in active charge list with us whenever there are changes. Sometimes, for whatever reason, we'll have a situation where the most recent list was taped but it fell because the tape wasn't good, so the most recent list wasn't up there. Takase: We tell them that they should renew it annually. When they do their renewals, they should update their list because we find that they have people that are current card holders but they don't appear on the list. That would be a violation. But sometimes, they have notified us, so it won't be a violation. We will send them a new list each time they notify us of changes to it. But between us sending it to them and them actually posting it, it sometimes doesn't happen. Our investigators won't know off -hand what the current list is. We're trying to get modernized online so the investigators could actually pull up all of that information on their phone or tablet we go to. Right now they have to rely on the list and that's why we have it posted. Sometimes, (the employees) don't carry their cards with them. They're supposed to, but it's not required. The investigator can just look at the list to verify that they are a carded manager. That's the "check -off' for the investigators. If a person says they're the manager but they don't have their card on them, then they can refer back to the list to double-check whether they are in fact listed. There's still some paper involved. We're trying to move past that. We're starting to get there, but until then, we still rely on those things. Pawasarat: Director Takase? They only sell liquor at this establishment? Takase: Primarily. I believe they have some other things, but it's not like a 7 -Eleven. Fuke: Can I follow up on your question, along those lines? Does Kamuela Liquor have a different license than for example, Holo Holo Pantry? OCTOBER 18, 2018 - LIQUOR ADJUDICATION BOARD MINUTES 13
