B
I
think
this
was
a
case
of
an
employee
who
went
rogue.
The
licensee
has
all
the
proper
safety
and
security
things
in
place.
B
The
staff
was
cooperative
with
the
investigation
it,
the
employee
was
actually
not
defending
herself,
but
and
it
wasn't
violation
the
policies
the
licensee
did
everything
they
could
to
retrain
and
take
measures
to
make
sure
this
didn't
happen
again.
So
I
see
no
violation.
C
A
B
C
D
B
Okay,
this
was
troubling
to
learn
that
the
dj
took
it
upon
himself
to
go
out
and
and
take
part
in
what
was
going
on
outside.
They
were
properly
staffed.
They
they
did
call
911
it
did
escalate.
I
think
the
real
issue
here
is
lack
of
training.
I
think
the
licensee.
B
While
they
were
cooperative,
they
need
to
retrain
their
staff,
including
all
contractors,
including
the
dj.
It
was
not
the
bar's
fault.
This
was,
in
my
opinion,
a
patron
who
was
acted
on
their
own
and
and
was
violent.
I
see
no
violation
that
part
of
the
licensee,
but
I
do
see
a
need
for
retraining
the
staff.
B
C
A
B
A
B
I
see
no
violation
and
I'm
grateful
that
the
licensee
put
preventative
measures
in
after
this
incident
to
protect
their
staff,
but
this
was
an
a
very
unfortunate
scary
incident,
no
violation.
A
D
A
D
B
No
one
observed
the
actual
service
of
alcohol
people
under

or
the
disturbance.
So
I
I
I'm
not
able
to
find
a
violation
here.

I
would

B
D
A
B
They
had
at
the
hearing
yesterday
they
had
agreed
to
a
earlier
closing
time
of
8
pm.
They
had
also
agreed
to
no
nips
and
no
singles,
which
shows
a
real
appetite
on
the
part
of
the
licensee
to
work
with
their
neighborhood
and
the
interested
parties.
My
real
issue
here
is
that
there's
no
support
from
the
transit
different
transit
groups,
mbta
transit
police
opposed
it,
and
I
think
there
was
some
other
opposition
I'd
like
to
defer
this
vote
until
we
can
get
some
more
support
or
they
continue
to
work
with
those
groups.
B
I'm
not
totally
against
the
idea
of
this
type
of
license
at
this
location,
but
I
think
there's
more
work
to
be
done
at
this
point,
so
my
my
vote
would
be
to
differ.
C
Did
I'm
still,
I
still
have
thoughts
about
whether
the
commuter
rail
as
an
entity
should
be
looped
in
because
I
mean
their.
D
A
C
B
I
mean
their
job
is
to
enforce
safety
of
riders
on
the
trains
and,
if
they
feel
like
they
can't
do
that
that
this
would
make
their
job
even
more
difficult.
I
would
hesitate
to
approve
this
license
exactly.
D
A
B
I
see
I
I
feel
like
they.
They
adequately
describe
public
need
for
a
few
extra
racks
and
coolers
at
this
location.
I
see
no
reason
why
they
can't
move
forward
their
application,
and
my
vote
would
be
to
approve.
A
B
So
I
think
I
think
the
applicant
adequately
described
public
need
for
a
for
the
type
of
license
at
this
location,
and
I
don't
want
to
stop
business
from
moving
forward.
But
I
am
sensitive
to
council
president
flynn's
desire
to
meet
with
them.
So
I
would
like
to
vote
to
approve
this
license,
but
ask
the
licensee
to
set
up
a
meeting
with
council
president
flynn's
office
immediately,
and
I
would
hope
that
council
council
president
flynn's
office
would
take
that
meeting
immediately
so
that
this
application
can
move
forward.
B
There's
no
there's
no
wheel
of
butters
in
this
area.
We
looked
into
it,
so
I
think
it
was
a.
This
is
a
person
who's
representing
herself
and
has
been
waiting
a
long
time
to
get
on
her
agenda.
They
wouldn't
want
to
stop
her
her
progress
moving
forward.
I
know
this
can
make
a
difference
to
her
business.
So
I
think,
with
a
conversation
or
two
with
council
flynn's
office,
it
could
be
a
a
solid
application.
Moving
forward.
