From YouTube: City of Boston Licensing Board Voting Hearing 6-29-2023
Description
The Licensing Board for the City of Boston holds licensed premise inspection hearings on Tuesdays, transactional hearings on Wednesdays and voting hearings on Thursdays weekly pursuant to Governor Charles Baker’s executive order (the “Order”) issued March 22, 2020, temporarily modifying certain requirements of the Open Meeting Law (M.G.L. ch. 30A s. 20) due to the ongoing public health crisis due to Covid-19 (coronavirus).
A
A
B
Thank
you,
Danny
I
couldn't
find
enough
there
to
to
find
an
assault
battery
or
a
violation
based
on
the
testimony.
D
B
B
B
Okay,
just
double
checking
there.
It
was
hard
to
determine
who
started
the
fight,
but
it
was
clear
to
me
that
an
employee,
the
bouncer
perhaps
came
out
of
the
blue
and
hit
the
patron,
causing
him
to
fall
and
break
his
jaw.
B
The
fight,
wasn't
it
wasn't
in
self-defense?
It
wasn't
a
stopify
it.
There
was
at
that
point.
In
my
estimation,
there
was
no
more
fighting
really
going
on
the
bouncer
came
out
of
the
blue,
knocked
the
guy
down,
so
I
see
a
violation
there
and
I
take
major
issue
with
the
fact
that
this
was
a
two-year
employee
and
he
has
not
been
fired.
B
I
asked
before
I
was
able
to
review
the
video.
What
was
the
status
of
the
employee,
and
the
answer
was
that
he
was
suspended
pending
the
outcome
of
the
criminal
investigation.
So
I
was
curious
to
see
what
the
videos
would
show
us
and
to
me
this
was
egregious
and
the
part
of
a
two-year
employee
and
also
egregious
in
the
part
of
the
management,
to
not
fire
him
immediately.
D
C
So
I,
would
you
know?
Second,
all
your
comments,
I,
would
add.
Just
a
little
bit
I
want
to
say
on
the
record
that
I
didn't
believe
that
there
was
any
kind
of
allegation
that
the
victim
was
gonna
cut.
Anybody
or
anything
like
that,
I
think
that
was
probably
made
up,
that
the
the
assaulter,
the
batter
the
employee
he
was
out
there
with
bad
intentions
from
from
the
get-go
I
saw
and
I
was
also
con.
C
I
was
definitely
I
want
to
doubly
second
that
I
don't
see
how
they
can
look
at
this
and
not
have
already
fired
him
it
it's
just
it's
concerning
that.
They
they
look
at
this
and
say
that
you
know
we
need
to
see
how
this
shakes
out
it
it.
It
gives
me
pause
like
what
are
they
looking
at
it.
You
know
and
the
other.
C
The
other
thing
is
he's
kind
of
out
there
alone,
like
I
I
I'm,
concerned
about
the
lack
of
intervention
of
this
big
kind
of
we're
all
going
on,
like
he's
like
the
only
one
there
like
where
are
like
you
know
three
and
four
employees
trying
to
get
this
thing
under
control.
So
for
all
those
reasons,
I
I
saw
an
egregious
violation.
B
Thank
you,
I,
don't
believe
they
have
a
history
of
this
type
of
violation.
Is
that
correct,
Danny.
A
The
board
has
found
a
no
violation
recently
for
a
for
assault
and
battery.
The
last
violation
they
do
have
was
from
January,
where
they
received
a
warning
for
a
patron
on
patreon
assault
and
battery.
B
You've
been
putting
that
aside,
I
think
this
is
in
its
own
category
and
my
vote
would
be
for
a
three-day
suspension.
C
I
have
no
problem
with
ramping.
It
up
three
seems
fine.
I
didn't
know
where
I
wanted
to
go
with
it
or
whatever,
but
I
could
go
for
three.
B
C
B
I
think
there
has
I
think
in
as
well
as
the
the
written
the
determination
of
the
three-day
suspension,
I
I
think
there
needs
to
be
some
training
on
the
part
of
Staff
like
real
training
on
the
part
of
management
as
well.
B
All
right
Echo,
your
comments,
commissioner,
that
it
you
take
pause
when
you
realize
what
happened
when
you
saw
what
happened
and
realized
management
did
not
fire.
This
to
your
employee,
immediately
I'd
like
to
see
all
levels
of
management
and
staff
trained
professionally
trained
how
to
de-escalate.
B
A
They
do
as
part
of
that
January
fifth
hearing.
The
board
did
request
a
security
and
dispersal
training
plan
which
was
submitted
to
the
board.
So
there
is
something
on
file
we
so
the.
A
D
B
A
lot
of
Professional
Training
programs
out
there
trainers
out
there
and
I
think
this
establishment
needs
to
invest
some
money
and
Research
into
which
training
would
be
appropriate
for
this
type
of
place.
Emphasis
on
de-escalation
crowd,
control.
B
A
D
B
There
was
testimony
from
both
the
patron
and
the
owner
about
exactly
what
happened
and
who,
who
put
their
hands
on
what,
whether
it
was
a
jacket
or
on
his
person
and
I
can't
determine
exactly
what
happened,
but
the
patron
was
asked
to
leave
and
he
did
not
leave
and
the
owner
had
to
remove
him
and
based
on
that
I,
don't
see
a
violation
here.

B
C
A
B
Unfortunately,
the
owner,
who
is
alleged
to
have
slapped
this
person,
wasn't
able
to
join
us
in
person
and
they
did
not
preserve
the
video,
as
requested
by
the
police,
I
I'm,
not
able
to
find
find
a
violation,
as
was
noticed
in
the
incident
report.
However,
I
do
think
that
this
should
be
docketed
in
their
file
and
there
should
be
correspondence
from
the
board
to
this
owner.
B
They
have
zero
history,
but
I
think
this
needs
to
be
put
in.
Their
file
didn't
show
up.
C
B
Danny
in
the
correspondence
on
the
board-
if
we
could
please
put
in
writing
that
they
need
to
train
their
staff
about
the
cameras
and
preserving
the
footage,
I
think
there
was
a
communication
problem
there.
The
owner
I
think
understood
from
police
to
preserve
the
video,
but
that
was
not
communicated
to
anyone
else
and
then
the
owner
did
nothing
about
it.
D
I
almost
feel
like
all
of
these
establishments
need
to
get
some
sort
of
reminder
about
preserving
video,
just
in
case
there's
any
incident
at
all,
whether
the
whether
there's
been
even
a
violation
or
not
they're,
just
I'm
we're
hearing
too
many
times
of
like
oh
it
got
written
over
and
it's
just
yes.
B
A
Was
just
going
to
say,
we
can
certainly
put
out
an
advisory
on
this.
That's
a
great
Point
commissioner.

in

B
I'm
just
going
to
note
for
the
record,
they
were
not
written
up
for
failure
to
notify
the
board
for
an
employee
carrying
a
gun
and
they
should
have,
but
that's
not
before
us.
Today
we
have
a
an
allegation
of
an
employee
on
Patron
assault
and
battery
with
pepper
spray.
Based
upon
the
testimony
I
think
this
employee
acted
appropriately.
He
was
defending
himself.
B
He
gave
several
warnings
to
the
patron
that
he
should
back
off
back
off,
I'm
going
to
spray
you
I'm,
going
to
spray
you
and
then
Patron
didn't
I
was
persuaded
that
this
was
in
self-defense,
so
I
don't
see
a
violation
there,
but
I
do
feel
it's
necessary
to
work
with
this
licensee.
B
As
far
as
notification
about
armed
employees,
I
know
it's
difficult
to
determine
the
way
the
board's
rules
are
written,
that
we
need
to
know
which
employees
are
armed,
but
it
we
can
work
with
that,
whether
it's
the
person
at
the
door
or
it
doesn't
have
to
be
necessarily
a
name
every
time,
but
so
that
the
police
can
identify
who
there
is
the
harmed
in
the
licensee.
They
also
need
to
have
armed
security.
C
Yeah
I,
don't
know
how
convinced
I
was
that
it
was
completely
self-defense,
but
on
the
other
hand,
I
don't
know.
If
we
have
enough
to
say
it
was
a
violation
either.
So.
B
C
C
D
B
A
C
Mind
here
that
that's
really
what
I'm
concerned
about
here
and
you
know,
I,
don't
know
what
we
should.
A
No
violation,
chairman
Joyce,
did
you
I
I
apologize
to
you.
There
was
correspondence
from
the
board
that
you
wanted
on
this
one,
or
is
this.
B
No
violation
but
I
would
like
to
send
correspondence
and
address
the
issues
we
talked
about.
I,
don't
want
them
to
not
have
armed
security
because
they're
they
don't
know
how
to
communicate
to
the
board.
Who
is
going
to
be
armed
with
guns
or
pepper
spray.
B
A
Talk
about
that
offline,
so
no
violation
with
correspondence
from
the
board
around
their
obligation
to
notify
the
board
if
they
are
using
armed
security.

I

what
the

is
that
there

it
makes
me
wonder
if
they

had

perhaps
this
wouldn't
have
turned
into

it
ended
up.
Turning
into

sounds

get
to
L
street,
which
is
more
known
as
like
the
business
district
of
this
neighborhood,
it
is
a
variety
store,
I,
don't
think
they're
trying
to
be
a
liquor
store.
They
sell
a
variety
of
items.
The
owner
is
well
known
in
the
community.
B
B
And
what
was
persuasive
to
me
is
they
are
only
going
to
turn
over
20
percent
of
their
offerings
to
beer
and
wine.
It
looked
like
it
was
one
rack
of
wine
and
half
of
their
cooler
to
full
beverages
at
the
advice
meeting
that
was
mostly
support
and
I
think
it
was
looked
at
as
a
true
amenity
for
this
neighborhood.
C
I
think
it's
a
close
call.
I
was
persuaded
by
the
letter
from
the
pastor
of
the
school,
but
my
concern
is:
are
we
going
to
have
the
is
the
license
going
to
be
limited
to
that
small
percentage?
Is
it
going
to
State
it
on
the
license?
I'm.
B
C
Yeah,
so
I
do
think
it's
a
close
call.
The
support
is
opposition,
I
think
the
16c
issue.
Really.
We
have
no
reason
to
believe
that
it
would
be
detrimental
I,
don't
have
any
reason
to
believe
that
it'll
be
detrimental
to
the
educational
activities,
so
I
I.
Don't
think
that
really
limit
limits
us
here,
but
I
I,
think
with
the
opposition
and
I
think
it
would
bring
maybe
more
business
more
drive
by
business
and
stuff
like
that.
So
I
think
that
I
would
only
be
comfortable
saying.
B
C
So
what
what
should
we
say
about
the
limitation?
So
how
should
we
state
it.
B
We
could
date
the
floor
plan
as
it
was
submitted
to
the
board
and
say
any
changes
to
the
floor
plan
that
was
submitted
and
approved
on
June
29th
needs
to
be
brought
back
for
board
approval,
I
mean
because
it
literally
says
half
of
the
cooler
and
then
there's
like
one
rack
of
wine
I
think
they
also
appear
to
know
single
threat.
That.
B
C
D
I
think
it's
fine,
I,
think
there's
you
know
my
my
concern
would
be
about.
You
know
some
of
the
anyone
who's
trying
to
present
like
a
false
ID
or
are
underage
under
so
maybe
whatever
plan
they
have
for
making
sure
that
they're
are
checking
the
IDS.
Maybe
if
there's
a
if
they
have
a
scanner
or
if
they're,
watching
the
door
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
pass
off
so
I'm,
not
even
sure
the
age
of
the
school
is
a.
D
A
grammar
school,
so
there's
really
no
there's
really
well,
there's
very
little
transfer
a
grammar
school
student
to
be,
but
anyway,
whatever
their
their
plan
is
for
checking,
IDs
and
and
watching
the
door
just
because
there
was
at
least
a
couple
of
people
who
talked
about
underage.
A
Christmas
accent
is:
is
there
a
plan,
a
written
plan?
You
would
like
them
to
submit
to
the
board
about
yeah.
D
They
don't
have
one
I
think
I'd
like
to
just
to
make
sure
that
it's
on
the
record
that
they
have
some
kind
of
plan
to
ensure
the
safety
of
all
of
the
underage
people
who
are
walking
into
the
store
to
buy
something
else,
just
to
make
sure
that
they
don't
get
their
hands
on
the
alcohol.
D
A
Great
chairman
Joyce
right,
so
it
sounds
like
they.
Their
vote
is
to
Grant
this
license
with
conditions
that
any
change
to
the
floor
plan
as
submitted
and
on
file
with
the
board
would
require
board
approval,
which
would
trigger
a
hearing
before
the
board,
no,
no
sales
of
single
beers
and,
additionally,
the
board
is
requesting
submission
of
a
plan
to
identify
any
patrons
who
is
purchasing
alcohol.
Is
that
what
I
heard.
B
I
have
no
issues
and
I
did
agree
to
this
applicant
agreed
to
no
kegs,
no
singles,
no
sales
after
nine
and
no
malt.
Is
that
correct?
So
we
could
add
those
on
the
face
of
the
license.
A
Thank
you
so
granted
with
conditions
of
no
kegs,
no
singles.
No
malt
and
alcohol
sales
to
see
us
at
9pm
non-hearing
transactions.
