MINUTES FOR THE HUGO CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 27, 2000 Mayor Walter Stoltzman convened the special meeting of the Hugo City Council to consider allegations that the business known as the End Zone is being operated in violation of Hugo City Code regarding the operations of liquor license establishments. PRESENT: Haas, Leroux, Petryk, Stoltzman City Administrator, Robert Museus City Attorney, Dave Snyder Kramarczuk's Attorney, Allen Kantrude Antomna Kramarczuk Guerny Sapako ABSENT: Barnes Mayor Stoltzman called the meeting to order and stated the reasons for the meeting, which was for the Council to consider and make a determination whether: 1. Antonina Kramarczuk had an interest in a previous license held by Adrian Kramarczuk, and if such interest would disqualify her from holding a license by virtue of her marriage to, and involvement with, the previous license holder. 2. The license in this case is issued only to the applicant as required by Chapter 150, Sec. 7, Subd. 4, of Hugo City Code. 3. The applicant, or licensee, had made any false or misleading statements on any application for a liquor or beer license, or any proceeding regarding the issuing of the liquor, beer, and wine license. 4. The applicant, or licensee, has any ownership interest in the license. Mr. Allen Kantrude, representing Antonina Kramarczuk, asked for a delay in the hearing as his firm had only been contacted by Ms. Kramarczuk on Friday, March 17, 2000, and had insufficient time to discuss the facts of the case with Ms. Kramarzcuk and prepare a response to the Council's questions. Following discussion, Haas made motion, Petryk seconded, to continue the hearing at 7:00 p.m. April 24, 2000, and direct that all written responses to the allegations be provided to the City Attorney by April 17, 2000. Upon call, all voted Aye. Motion carried. Mr. David Schoeneck, a public relations consultant with The Praxis Group, 1325, Manomin Ave., West St. Paul, discussed with the Council the value an organized public relations effort would have to the City. The City Administrator asked the Council to consider holding a special meeting on Wednesday, March 29, 2000, to clarify its intent regarding the Rick's Liquor development on the property owned by the City in the Bald Eagle Industrial Park. Developers of the property, Rick and Kelly Lindstrom, requested the Council confirm the terms and conditions of the proposed agreement before they enter into financing and construction contracts for the project.
