C
Thanks
Danny
I.
B
C
Thank
you,
Danny.
In
reviewing
the
video
that
we
received,
it
appeared
that
the
employee
was
responding
to
what
happened
to
what
the
patron
had
done.
I,
don't
see
any
violation.
C
The
licensee
called
the
police
they
have
since
hired
a
company
to
do
security.
I
would
vote
for
correspondence
from
the
board,
encouraging
them
to
all
the
police
sooner
and
to
prevent
things
like
this
from
escalating.
C
Thanks
Danny
I'm,
taking
all
three
of
them
together,
I
I,
didn't
think
that
this
incident
was
foreseeable.
It
was
impossible
to
tell
from
the
video
who
the
actual
aggressor
was
so
I,
don't
see
any
violation.
B
C
Management
staff
did
cooperate,
it
was
the
week
after
Labor
Day
I
think
that
this
could
have
been
prevented.
I
think
it
was
foreseeable
that
there'd
be
increased
crowds
on
Labor
Day
weekend.
When
colleges
are
back
in
town,
it
took
the
place
20
minutes
to
disperse
the
line.
They
have
since
taken
mitigating
measures
to
open
up
another
entrance
and
add
additional
security
and
crowd
control,
so
they
are
doing
the
right
things.
My
vote
is
for
a
violation
and
a
written
warning.
B
Yeah
there
there
was
in
July
of
2021.
There
was
a
violation
and
a
warning
for
an
overcrowding
plus
failure
to
maintain
line.

Was
this
the
one
where
there
is
verification
on
the
count.
B
That's
correct:
the
license
has
110.
The
officer
testified
that
there
may
be
some
confusion
with
other
permits
that
say
140.
We
have
not
heard
back
from

agree

This
was
a
a

I
do
believe.

knew
that

were
going

in

little

D

B
E
C
C
I
do
see
a
violation.
There
is
history
of
similar
violation
going
back
to
2019.
My
vote
would
be
for
a
second
morning
in
submission
of
an
operations

sometimes.
B
Violation,
a

and
