The Council discussed an <br />alleged liquor law violation against the Trio Inn for selling alcohol on Thanksgiving Day. <br />Mr. Hellings noted the Council can discipline now or scheduled a continuation hearing after the <br />court proceedings. <br /> <br />Mr. Paul Montain owner of Trio Inn Bar (7082 Centerville Road) explained his position. Mr. <br />Montain agreed the off-sale violation was true. However, the action was not intentional and <br />there was no effort to deceive the City. Mayor Wilharber questioned Mr. Montain if the bar has a <br />policy or procedures for selling off-sale. Mr. Montain said the responsibility is with the managers <br />to direct bar tenders to either sell or not to sell and it was a management oversight. <br /> <br />MOTION by Councilmember Powers to close the public hearing.

Mr. Bill Bisek (7098 Centerville Road) stressed <br />the State laws' spell out the Police Department's recommendations, such as, a bar cannot sell <br />alcohol to an obviously intoxicated person. Furthermore, placing contingencies on a liquor <br />license is unnecessary. Mr. Bisek added, this may eventually become a Council habit to put <br />stipulations on all liquor licenses. Mr. Hellings noted it is within the City's authority to place <br />stipulations on any liquor establishment. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber commented the recommendations were out of fairness to the liquor <br />establishment. As a friendly reminder these are the State laws and the City will be looking closely <br />at the stated areas.
