MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />May 28, 2008 <br />LIQUOR <br />LICENSE <br />RENEWALS - <br />BANGKOK <br />AVENUE <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw. <br />Ayes (4). <br />Nays (1). Allan voted against. Resolution declared adopted. <br />Blesener opened the public hearing to consider the renewal of the <br />following licenses for Bangkok Avenue, 2900 Rice Street: <br />On-Sale Wine License; <br />On-Sale Intoxicating Malt Liquor License; <br />Sunday Liquor License; <br />2 A.M. License; <br />Consumption & Display License; <br />Entertainment License. <br />The City Administrator reported that City staff had recommended that a <br />Public Hearing be called to consider these license renewals given the <br />serious calls that have been occurring at Bangkok Avenue as reported by <br />the Ramsey County Sheriffs Department. The Administrator reviewed <br />the reports submitted by the Sheriff's Department as well as the City <br />Clerk's report summarizing the nature of the calls and apparent hesitancy <br />of the owner of Bangkok Avenue to call the Sheriff s Department with the <br />owner urging people to leave the premises instead. Concerns have also <br />been expressed in the methods of serving beer by the 12-pack and case <br />which is felt compromises control over both over-consumption and under- <br />aged consumption. The lack of both wait staff and security staff <br />contributes to these issues. <br />The City Administrator summarized the recommendations of the Sheriffs <br />Department which they feel will improve security at Bangkok Avenue: <br />o Increase staffing and staff training to the point where <br />employees can adequately monitor he consumption of <br />alcohol to limit over consumption by patrons and to prevent <br />access to alcohol by minors. <br />o ID patrons at the door and issue wristbands to differentiate <br />those patrons who are over 21 and those who are under 21. <br />o Sell alcohol on a one unit to one patron basis. <br />o Sell beer in plastic cups or bottles to prevent the use of beer <br />bottles as weapons. <br />o Increase security staffing and training to the point where <br />they can intervene and prevent fights by ejecting disruptive <br />patrons. <br />o Cooperate with Sheriffs Department personnel in their <br />response to, and investigation of, incidents at Bangkok <br />
