R. Smith: My concern is; if your business is struggling, you don't have enough <br /> resources to pay your bills, you probably you would pay the government first and your <br /> vendors last, right? It seems like the people that have the most control over him to stay <br /> in business, he's ignoring, repeatedly. <br /> Lindsey: At this time, I'd like to request a motion on the penalty. <br /> Fuke: I move that we accept Counsel's recommendation of the $1,000 penalty. <br /> Payment to be made when? <br /> Schoen: No, no, it was $2,000, plus payment of the outstanding $1,860, for a total of <br /> $3,860. <br /> Fuke: Within 30 days? <br /> Schoen: Yes. <br /> Fuke: What would be the alternative in the event of non-payment? Suspension of <br /> license? Revocation? <br /> Takase: Yes, we will follow this one very closely and if he does not pay, we will come <br /> in with an Order to Show Cause. One for another violation for failure to pay and <br /> secondly, probably to suspend his license, which is rather severe. We want to give him <br /> notice that it will probably be the next step. He's making money so I assume he can get <br /> the money to us. Once they find out we're going to shut them down, things start to <br /> happen quickly. It's not only him at that point, but he's going to have to lay off his <br /> employees and I want to avoid that step. But if we can't get his attention, then we will <br /> follow through with that step. <br /> Fuke: So in that letter that goes out to say the motion is accepted, he will be fined <br /> $2,000 and pay the $1,860 within a 30-day period, will you also indicate at that time that <br /> failure to make that payment could result in suspension or revocation of the license? <br /> Takase: Yes. <br /> R. Smith: I guess we already had one situation with a noise complaint where they got <br /> fined $1,000. This one is $3,860 and we have a couple more. <br /> Schoen: There's one more. <br /> R. Smith: Is there lack of being present here an indication they don't care? It would <br /> just seem that if someone were fining them $5,000-$6,000; you'd show up. To ignore <br /> us seems like they don't care. <br /> Fuke: They also had hired an attorney right? <br /> APRIL 20, 2017— LIQUOR ADJUDICATION BOARD MINUTES 24 <br />
