Ilanson <br />WWW ci.liG:le- Canada.nm.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Blesener and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Kathy Glanzer, City Clerk <br />DATE: May 8, 2008 <br />RE: Call for Public Hearing <br />Liquor License Renewals — Bangkok Avenue <br />Since February, there have been at (east three incidents at Bangkok Avenue of a serious <br />nature. The City Administrator, Ramsey County Sheriff's Department, and I met with <br />the owner of Bangkok Avenue on Tuesday, May 6th, to discuss our concerns. These <br />concerns primarily have to do with security staffing, willingness to contact the Sheriffs <br />Department when a problem occurs, issues related to the way beer is served as well as <br />over - serving, number of wait staff, server's training for wait staff, etc. <br />The owner of Bangkok Avenue will be submitting a letter to the City outlining the <br />changes he intends to make to address the concerns discussed. We will have this report <br />prior to the May 28th Council meeting at which the renewal of liquor licenses will be <br />considered. <br />Given the concerns with this business, it is staffs recommendation that a Public I- Iearing <br />be called to consider the renewal of the Bangkok Avenue liquor and entertainment <br />licenses. The hearing would be held at the May 28th meeting independent of the other <br />liquor license renewals. <br />
