Review and Recommendation Regarding Expired Class A Dance Hall License and Review and Discussion Regarding “Class B” Liquor/Beer License and Licenses for Amusement Devices - Chewy's Place Bar & Grill, LLC While the Committee continued to wait for Ms. Snyder, City Attorney Warchol began the discussion with Ms. Kaatz. She stated that she and her husband were involved with Chewy's Place since it opened. Now, they are managing the establishment. Attorney Warchol asked if Ms. Kaatz was a member of Chewy's Place Bar & Grill, LLC. Ms. Kaatz responded that Ms. Snyder told her in August that she would become a member; however she has not seen any documentation to confirm that. Attorney Warchol provided information regarding the past noise complaints and the fact that the Finance Committee discussed those with Ms. Snyder in June. At that time the Committee recommended issuance of the Class "A" Dance Hall License with an expiration of October 1, 2016. The Committee's intent was to review the situation in September and determine if the dance hall license would be extended. It appears the issue with noise has improved. However, the license has now expired as a result of Ms. Snyder not appearing at the September 27, 2016 Finance Committee. Ms. Kaatz stated that she would probably want to have live music sometime during the remainder of the license year, which expires June 30. 2017. Attorney Warchol stated the license would have to be applied for and the Finance Committee would have to review it and make a recommendation. Ms. Kaatz stated that she understood. Attorney Warchol provided Ms. Kaatz with an dance hall license application. Ms. Snyder arrived at approximately 6:25 p.m. Attorney Warchol explained what was discussed prior to her arrival. He then noted the confusion regarding the liquor license application and documentation that Chewy's Place Bar & Grill, LLC has a legal right to operate a bar on the premises. After discussion with the Committee, the following was requested to be Finance Committee Minutes 3 October 11, 2016 submitted to the City Attorney by Monday, October 17, 2016: a signed lease between the LLC and the property owner, Mr. Kleczka and documentation that reflects that both Ms. Snyder and Ms. Kaatz are members of the LLC.

Alderman Engelhardt seconded; motion carried. ADJOURNMENT Alderman Madden made a motion to adjourn at 6:32 p.m. Alderman Engelhardt seconded; motion carried.
