City Council meeting of April 21, 2003 Page 8 RECOMMENDATION TO DENY LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATION (CHARLES MIES) Charles Mies has made application to the City for a liquor license, which he intends to use at the End Zone bar. The Washington County Sheriffs Department completed its standard background investigation on this individual, and together with information by City staff, found irregularities. After discussion with the owner of the building, Len Minich, staff determined that the applicant has not obtained a viable lease and/or a contract on the purchase of the building. Because a viable lease agreement does not exist to allow use of the liquor license, City Attorney Dave Snyder recommended that the application be denied. Miron made motion, Petryk seconded, to accept the City Attorney's recommendation and deny the application from Charles Mies for a liquor license for the building currently known as the End Zone. The City Attorney shall draft a Findings of Fact outlining reasons for the application denial. All aye. Motion Carried.
