Alderman Wolfe seconded; motion carried. Review and Recommendation Regarding Class A Dance Hall License - Chewy's Place Bar & Grill, LLC City Attorney Warchol noted that since the Finance Committee discussed this in June, there was only one noise complaint in July. Information from the Police Department reflects no violations were heard in response to that complaint. He also stated that a letter was received dated July 6. The correspondence was signed by Julie Pierson and alleged noise issues. However, no dates were provided. Attorney Warchol believes the complaints were for a period of time prior to the June meeting. Justin Murphy, the Entertainment Director was present on behalf of Chewy's Place Bar & Grill. He stated that the establishment is under new management. Gretchen Snyder previously managed the bar. There is no future interest to have live music. However, he requests that the license to allow live music be granted for October 29. Attorney Warchol stated that it was the City's understanding that the business is still in the name of Chewy's Bar & Grill, LLC, which holds the licenses with Gretchen Snyder as the agent. There appears to be a discrepancy if that is still the case as Mr. Murphy has stated otherwise. He has indicated that Mr. and Mrs. Kaatz are now managing the establishment. Finance Committee Minutes 2 September 27, 2016 Attorney Warchol requested that legal documentation be submitted to clarify who currently is operating the business, including a lease to show who has the right to use the property and operate a bar there. The City needs to determine who is responsible for the LLC and if the licenses can continue to be held by it. Mr. Murphy is to provide the documentation to the City within a week. Alderman Engelhardt moved to defer to the next meeting (October 11). Alderman Madden seconded; motion carried.
