PUBLIC INPUT PJ Punjani, explained his father, Zulfiquani Punjani, owns the property at 2808 County Road I. He indicated this property has been vacant for the past eight months which was causing his father great financial hardships. He explained why his father was behind on his property taxes and reported the bank was only willing to approve a loan if the property had a tenant. However, the tenant would not sign a lease unless the liquor license was approved. He discussed the vandalism that occurred on the property and believed this would continue if the property were to remain vacant. He encouraged the Council to reconsider the liquor license noting the property taxes would be paid in full if the license were approved. Mayor Flaherty reported the City’s rules and regulations require that all property taxes be paid in full prior to receiving a liquor license. He asked if Zulfiquani Punjani was applying for the liquor license. PJ Punjani explained his father was assisting the tenant in applying for the liquor license. He noted the tenant was being hindered due to the fact the property taxes were still outstanding. He explained the bank was willing to provide the funds to pay off the property taxes within 14 days once a tenant signed a letter of intent.
