Mukai: Second. <br />Ms Giffin moved that the Licensee in Case No. 2018-008, be found <br />in violation of Rule 5-2, of the Rules and Regulations of the Liquor <br />Commission of the department of Liquor Control of the county of <br />Hawaii; seconded by Mr. Mukai. <br />Fuke: It's been moved and seconded to find the Licensee in violation of the charge.
