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
Good
afternoon,
this
is
an
informational
hearing
for
all
south
boston
licensees
before
the
licensing
board
for
the
city
of
boston.
Today
is
friday
february
26th.
Today's
hearing
is
being
conducted
pursuant
to
certain
temporary
amendments
to
the
open
meeting
lot.
That
is
what
allows
us
to
meet.
Virtually
this
hearing
will
be
recorded
and
will
be
posted
to
the
city
of
boston's
website.
A
Please
utilize.
The
chat
function
to
place
the
name
and
your
name,
the
name
of
your
restaurant
and
the
address
of
your
restaurant,
to
be
clear.
Today's
hearing
is
the
same
informational
hearing
the
board
and
the
boston
police
department
have,
with
south
boston
licensees
in
anticipation
of
every
state
that
every
st
patrick's
day.
This
is
absolutely
not
a
disciplinary
hearing.
We
really
appreciate
everyone
taking
the
time
to
attend
and
to
be
part
of
what
we
anticipate
is
a
productive
discussion.
A
While
there
is
no
parade
this
year,
we
do
anticipate
that
there
will
again
be
an
influx
of
patrons
into
south
boston
at
st
patrick's
day
is
on
a
wednesday
march
17th
this
year.
We
anticipate
that
there
will
be
a
significant
influx
that
will
begin
friday
march
11th
and
will
run
through
sunday
march
21st
again.
Today's
hearing
is
a
conversation
with
our
licensees
to
discuss
best
practices
for
the
same
holiday.

now
introduce

B
Again.
Thank
you
all
for
joining
us
today.
I
want
to
emphasize
this
is
not
a
disciplinary
hearing.
This
is
a
conversation
with
our
licensees
licensees
that
we
have
every
year
and
we
work
closely
with
all
of
you
since
march
20
2020.
So
we
thank
you
for
your
cooperation
and
collaboration
over
the
last
now
almost
12
months.
B
I
want
to
emphasize
that
we
are
in
this
with
we're
in
this
together
and
we're
here
today
to
talk
about
the
new
regulations
that
go
into
effect
on
monday
and
some
issues
that
you
may
be
thinking
about
as
operators
as
you
anticipate
larger
crowds
in
the
reopening
that
starts
on
monday,
as
leslie
mentioned.
We
also
know
a
big
piece
of
your
operations
is
the
public
cooperation
cooperation,
so
we
hope
we
can
help
get
that
message
out
to
your
patrons.
B
As
you
remember,
last
year,
south
boston
licensees
voluntarily
closed
on
st
patrick's
day
when
it
became
clear
that
the
number
of
patrons
was
presenting
a
public
health
challenge.
This
was
before
we
had
any
idea
of
the
impact
that
the
pandemic
would
have
in
our
restaurants.
The
board
and
the
city
appreciated
your
cooperation
that
weekend
in
your
continued
cooperation
throughout
the
last
year.
We
know
the
vast
majority
of
our
licensees
are
doing
everything
possible
to
comply
with
the
changing
regulations.
B
C
Thanks
thanks
kathleen
appreciate
it,
and
just
thank
you,
everyone
for
being
on
the
zoom
today
and
just
let
me
just
thank
everyone
for
what
you've
all
had
to
continue
to
do
over
a
long
duration
of
time.
I
appreciate
it.
The
city
appreciates
that
the
public
health
work
that
we've
had
to
do
has
been
made
stronger
by
the
work
that
all
the
business
owners
are
trying
to
do.
So
I
do
appreciate
that
and
just
want
to
extend
that
to
everyone.
C
You
know,
as
you
see,
and
we
see
across
our
sort
of
our
public
health
measures
where
things
are
moving
in
the
right
direction.
We're
seeing
improvement
in
terms
of
you
know
where
we
are
and
positivity
in
the
community
and
less
cases,
less
folks
being
severely
impacted,
and
so
we
are
definitely
seeing
things
moving
in
the
direction
that
we
all
want
to
see
as
well
as
widespread.
C
You
know
continued,
hopefully,
access
to
the
vaccine
as
it
becomes
more
available,
and
so
as
we
do
that,
it's
really
important
that
we
try
to
reopen
in
a
methodical,
cautious
way
so
that
we
don't
have
to
take
steps
backwards.
It's
been
the
goal
from
the
city
all
along
on
the
public
health
side,
that
as
we
reopen,
we
want
to
be
cautious
so
that
we
can
reopen
and
stay
open.
What
we
don't
want
to
have
to
do
is
reopen
too
quickly.
C
We
open
without
the
right
measures
in
place
then
will
force
us
to
go
back
and
to
go
back
in
a
place
that
I
know
is
challenging
for
all
of
you.
So
it's
important
to
us
that
we
do
that
in
a
slow
intentional
way.
Having
said
that,
we
know
that
many
of
you
have
put
a
lot
of
things
in
place
to
try
to
protect
your
patrons
and
consumers,
and
we
appreciate
that.
C
But
we
do
also
know
that
we've
seen
small
clusters
of
cases
through
some
of
our
restaurants
and
some
of
our
facilities
across
the
across
the
city
as
well
as
in
south
boston,
and
so
we
want
to
do
everything
we
can
to
not
only
protect
patrons
but
protect
workers
and
make
sure
that
folks
can
have
a
good.
C
But
that
we're
not
putting
more
people
at
risk
for
covid
and
so
with
the
regulations,
the
restrictions
that
the
state's
changing
effective
monday
additional
restrictions
that
will
be
that
will
go
into
place
on
the
22nd.
That
I
know
are
going
to
be
covered
here
and
we
want
to
do
everything
we
can
to
work
with
you
to
support
you
in
that,
but
not
to
forget
the
fact
that
covet
is
still
across
the
community.
C
We,
you
know,
we
have
220
plus
cases
just
yesterday,
we're
continuing
to
see
covey,
and
we
want
to
do
everything
we
can
to
keep
people
safe.
While
working
with
you
on
the
measures
that
we
know
you
all
are
working
hard
to
make
possible.
C
So
I
want
to
just
say
thank
you
for
the
work
you're
going
to
do
and
continue
to
do,
I'm
here
to
support
any
additional
information
that
might
be
needed,
but
wanted
to
make
sure
you
knew
that
we're
trying
to
partner
with
you
as
we
do
this
phased
reopening
in
an
intentional
methodical
way.
So
we
don't
go
back
on
any
of
the
progress
that
we've
already
had.
So
with
that
I'll
pass
it
back
to
you
kathleen
or
leslie
to
walk
us
through
the
next
steps.
B
Thank
you,
chief
counselor,
flaherty
or
counselor
flynn.
Would
you
like
to
say
a
few
words
before
we
get
into
some
of
the
guidelines.
D
Thank
you
man,
commissioner,
just
wanted
to
add,
obviously
that,
as
you
had
mentioned,
we're
in
this
together,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
all
the
owners,
you
know,
obviously
continue
to
to
work
with
the
community.
At
the
end
of
the
day.
That's
our
main
concern
is
making
sure
that
the
community
stays
safe
99.9
of
the
owners.
D
They
do
an
awesome
job
so
and
it's
less
about
them
and
more
about
the
patrons
and
just
making
sure
that
patrons
are
doing
what
they're
they're
they're
they're
being
asked
to
do
by
the
professional
staff
there.
So
I
think,
to
date,
restaurants
and
the
bars
in
the
community
have
done
a
great
job
throughout
covid,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
put
our
best
foot
forward
again.
So
so
I
appreciate
the
meeting.
D
This
is
an
annual
event
we're
on
this
every
year,
as
we
head
towards
the
saint
patrick's
day
parade
festivities.
It's
arguably
a
whole
month
of
events
that
we've
always
had
in
south
boston
curtailed,
obviously
by
cover
19.
So
as
we
continue
to
move
forward
and
get
out
of
the
pandemic,
just
asking
that
the
owners
continue
to
do
the
great
things
that
they
do,
they've
always
done,
they've
been
very
responsive
and
very
responsible
to
the
community,
so
they're
great
neighbors.
We
know
them
all.
D
We
work
closely
with
them
at
the
end
of
the
day,
just
making
sure
that
you
know
we,
we
adhere
to
a
quality
of
life
for
the
community
and
that
and
that
the
patrons
you
know
act
in
and
socialize
responsibly.
Thank
you,
commission.
B
That's
our
counselor
flynn.
Would
you
like
to
add
a
few
words.
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
kathleen
I'll,
be
very
brief.
Just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
kathleen
and
your
team
to
captain
boyle
and
his
team,
but
also
especially
the
restaurant
and
bar
owners.
During
this
difficult
year.
They
really
worked
closely
with
the
city
and
did
the
best
they
could.
They
could
and
I
think
we're
we're
in
good
a
better
place
right
now
because
of
the
discipline
of
the
restaurants
and
working
closely
with
the
city.
E
I
don't
I'd
also
like
to
add
that
these
restaurants
are
owners
and
their
employees
are
also
our
neighbors.
They
live
here.
They
contribute
to
the
the
neighborhood
as
well,
whether
it's
on
broadway
or
or
on
l
street
they're
there
for
our
neighbors,
especially
during
difficult
times
so
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
restaurant
owners,
the
bar
owners
and
the
city
officials
that
are
here
for
working
closely
together
during
this
difficult
year.
Thank
you,
kathleen.
B
Thank
you
and
before
we
continue,
I
just
want
to
recognize.
Amanda
curley
is
here
from
counselor
frank
baker's
office.
Captain
boyle,
do
you
want
to
say
a
few
words.
F
Yeah
I'd
just
like
to
thank
everybody
for
the
cooperation
of
the
last
year.
It's
been
a
very
difficult
year
for
all
of
us
and
and
you've
you
know,
overwhelmingly
cooperated
with
the
police.
We'll
have
additional
coverage
out
the
weekend
before
on
st
patrick's
day
and
the
weekend
after.
I
do
expect
to
see
a
lot
of
people
coming
in.
F
So
I
think
I
think
lines
will
be
an
issue,
so
just
do
the
best
you
can,
with
the
lines
up
front,
we'll
be
there
to
assist
you
in
the
issues
you
have
that
may
arise.
You
know
last
year
the
crowd
showed
up
early
and-
and
you
know
before
we
had
to
shut
everything
down.
So
we
expect
that
again,
but
we'll
be
inspecting
inside
the
bars
we'll
be
out
on
the
street,
walking
around
to
make
sure
everything's,
safe
and
orderly.
But
please
look
at
us
as
a
resource.
F
B
Thanks
captain
and
I'd
like
to
introduce
dan
pat
prendergast
who's,
the
commissioner
of
isd
health
dan.
I
know
I
saw
you
on
here.
G
Yes,
thank
you
kathleen,
so
isd
health
is
also
going
to
have
a
presence.
During
you
know,
during
the
saint
st
patrick's
day
period,
we
will
have
our
inspectors
out.
Enforcing
regulatory
requirements
in
you
know
cover
19
safety
protocol
that
you
know,
we've
we've
been
doing
throughout
this
past
year,
and
you
know
I.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
restaurants
and
bars,
for
you
know
working
as
hard
as
they
can
to
ensure
you
know
kobe
19
protocols
and
safety
measures
have
been
put
in
place
and
and
enforced
as
well.
G
So
isd
health
will
will
have
a
presence
with
with
inspectors
as
well
during
during
this
time.
Thank
you.
Kathleen.
B
Thanks
dan,
so,
as
you
heard
yesterday,
starting
march
1st,
which
is
monday,
the
new
regulations
take
effect
and
I
just
wanted
to
go
over
those
together.
We
are
still
fine-tuning
them
ourselves
and
asking
for
additional
clarity
from
the
state
so
bear
with
us,
as
we
answer
specific
questions
that
have
been
emailed
to
us
in
the
last
24
hours,
but
in
general,
the
capacity
caps
have
been
removed,
but
you
must
still
have
your
tables
and
chairs
six
feet
apart
and
abide
by
all
other
social
distancing
requirements.
B
Sort
of
here
to
get
clarity
on
that
in
high
traffic
areas
you
can
they
have
to
be
six
feet
apart
and,
for
instance,
we
know
that
some
of
the
licensees,
especially
in
this
neighborhood,
have
installed
six
feet
barriers
to
allow
for
seating
closer
together.
That
is
still
permitted
so
again,
tables
social
distancing
is
now
the
lens
through
which
we
are
looking
at
enforcement
of
capacity.
It's
not
a
number,
so
tables
and
chairs
should
be
six
feet
apart.
B
However,
you
can
have
them
closer
together
if
you
have,
if
you
look
at
the
state
guidelines,
if
you
have
barriers
that
are
six
feet
tall
and
that
are
porous
or
non-permeable,
but
all
this
stuff
will
be
in.
C
B
You
can
find
on
the
state
website.
Parties
still
have
to
be
six
people
per
table
and
there
is
the
90
minute
limit
that
we
talked
about
earlier,
and
I
know
this
is
an
issue
every
single
year.
It
was
an
issue
this
summer
when
the
weather
was
nice
in
all
parts
of
the
city,
not
just
south
boston,
but
you
cannot
have
a
line
outside
beginning
march
11th
through
march
21st,
especially
I
don't
know.
B
B
You
might
want
to
consider
a
reservation
system,
a
text
notification
system,
we're
letting
you
know
now.
We
do
not
want
to
see
alliance
in
south
boston
from
march
11
to
march
21st,
no
live
entertainment,
you
can
have
tvs
and
backgrounds,
as
we
just
discussed.
That
also
means
no
djs
and
no
trivia
right
now
or
instrumental
music.
This
will
not
be
changing
any
time
before
march.
22Nd
we'll
be
reevaluating
as
march
22nd
approaches
and
we'll
be
looking
at
the
data,
as
chief
martinez
explained
and
again
to
be
set
to
be
sitting
at
a
table.
B
You
have
to
have
food
with
your
beverage
and
again
I
want
to
go
over
the
fact
that
we're
having
inspections
and
that
we've
had
these
monday
morning
hearings.
We
are
coming
down
very
strongly
on
enforcement
and
we
will
be
looking
at
this
particular
neighborhood
neighborhood
closely,
just
because
it's
saint
patrick's
day,
but
I
want
to
assure
you
we're
not
looking
for
violations.
B
My
team
is
not
out
there
looking
to
write
people
up
to
come
in
on
monday
morning.
We're
looking
we're
looking
to
help
you.
So
the
things
that
we
look
at
when
we
decide
whether
or
not
someone's
coming
in
for
a
hearing
is
whether
or
not
your
behavior
or
your
actions
were
reasonable
or
whether
or
not
something
that
happened
was
foreseeable.
B
It
would
be
foreseeable
if
someone
was
allowed
to
stay
for
like
three
ninety
minute,
three,
ninety
minute
sessions
at
a
time
and
to
drink
without
food
that
there
might
be
a
bar
fight.
So
that
would
be
foreseeable.
It's
not
reasonable
to
not
call
the
police
for
assistance
when
you
see
a
line
outside
and
you
don't
have
enough
staff
to
control
it.
So
you
want
to
keep
those
two
things
in
mind.
B
So
those
are
the
basic
parameters
of
the
new
guidelines
that
were
announced
yesterday
and
that
take
effect
on
monday.
But
we
can
talk
about
specific
questions.
I'd
love
to
hear
from
you,
the
operators
about
where
you
need
clarity
and
how
we
can
be
helpful
to
you.
A
Thank
you,
chairwoman
and
as
the
chairwoman
and
as
the
captain
mentioned,
you
should
look
at
the
license
premise
unit,
the
the
district
and
the
board
as
resources
to
the
chairwoman's
point
when,
whenever
you
call
the
police,
if
a
licensed
premise
notice,
inspection
notice
is
issued,
the
the
chairwoman
and
the
board
staff
review
every
single
one
of
those
to
determine
if
the
licensee
cooperated
and
as
chairwoman
joyce
said,
if
the
incident
was
foreseeable,
many
of
these
are
filed
without
a
hearing
and
there's
no
consequence
to
the
licensee
whatsoever.
A
So
we
want
to
emphasize
that
calling
the
police,
because
you
need
assistance,
is
absolutely
not
something
that
you're
going
to
be
penalized
for
so
again,
we
appreciate
everyone
in
attendance
and
we
would
now
like
to
open
it
up
to
questions
or
comments.
I
see
that
gerald
pomeroy
has
your
hand
raised
and
if
you
would
like
to,
if
you
would
like
to
speak,
if
you
could,
please
just
put
your
name
in
the
chat
that
would
be
helpful.
E
F
I
A
Yes,
you
can
you
can
utilize
your
bar,
your
bar
seating,
with
the
the
required
social
distancing
and
capacity
restrictions,
so
you
can
again
it's
alcohol
with
food.
Only
patrons
can
be
seated
at
the
bar.
They
must
be
six
feet
away
from
the
active
bar
service
area.
That
is
where
the
drinks
are
being
made.
The
fruit
is
being
cut
and
where
your
bartender
would
be
standing.
If
they're
not
actively
serving
a
patron,
you
can
also
have
a
partition
installed.
That
is
non-porous
in
order
to
see
patrons
in
front
of
the
bar
area.
A
Are
there
any
other
questions,
suggestions
and
rebecca
foo
on
our
team
just
put
into
the
chat
the
bar
seating
information
from
the
state's
guidelines,
so
bill
farley
just
put
in
the
chat?
What
are
the
rules
for
running
buyouts
and
events
in
a
restaurant
are
patrons
allowed
to
stand
and
walk
around,
or
is
it
strictly
seated.
C
Yeah,
so
so
the
question
is
again
are
what
are
the
rules
for
running
buyouts
and
events
in
a
restaurant
are
patrons
of
how
to
stand
and
walk
around,
or
is
it
strictly
seated?
So
patients
are
not
allowed
to
stand
and
walk
around
right
there.
People
are
only
need
to
be
there
seated.
The
rules
for
running
buyouts
or
events
in
a
restaurant
is
that
you
know
again.
I
think
licensing
can
play
this.
There
are
not
to
be
special
events.
There
are
not
event
spaces
indoor
event.
C
Spaces
are
not
open
in
the
city
of
austin
until
the
22nd,
so
the
read
from
the
on
the
public
health
side
was
that
those
would
not
be
eligible.
What
what
is
eligible
is
what
you're
currently
licensed
to
be
able
to
do
so
kathleen
or
leslie.
If
you
have
other
thoughts,
but
that
would
be
our
read.
B
Yeah
there
is,
you
could
contact
us,
but
some
examples
we've
received,
or
can
you
have
trivia
and
right
now,
on
march
1st,
in
the
city
of
boston,
you
could
only
have
trivia
if
you
closed
the
restaurant
and
you
could
only
have
10
people.
A
And
that
is
for
at
this
time
for
any
special
event.
So,
if
you're,
looking
to
close
your
your
restaurant
for
a
birthday
party,
you
have
to
close
the
entire
restaurant
and
that
party
cannot
exceed
10
people
inside
and
on
the
point
of
entertainment.
That
is
something
where
the
city
at
this
stage
is
separate,
is
different
from
what
the
state
is
allowing.
There
are
other
parts
of
the
state
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
depending
on
the
municipality
will
ally.
Allow
live
entertainment
in
restaurants.
Boston
is
not
allowing
any
live
entertainment
until
at
least
march
22nd.
B
And
I-
and
we
realized
that
that
was
not
mentioned
in
the
governor's
press
conference
yesterday
and
there's
a
lot
of
social
media
activity.
Advertising
live
entertainment,
starting
on
monday,
we're
doing
our
best
to
address
it
and
contact
those
people
and
to
get
our
message
out
that
there
is
no
live
entertainment
allowed
in
the
city
of
austin.
On
march
1st,
we
did
get
a
question
just
before
we
started
this
meeting
about
what
happens
if
people
want
to
step
outside
to
smoke,
and
what
are
you
supposed
to
do?
B
And
if
people
start
to
gather
when
they're
smoking,
we
can't
possibly
come
up
with
rules
and
regulations
for
every
single
scenario.
So
I'm
just
asking.
I
think
it
might
be
helpful
to
everyone
to
have
extra
staff
on
that.
You
know
during
your
busy
time,
if
you,
if
you,
if
you
run
into
that
problem
on
a
regular
day,
you're
going
to
probably
run
into
it
more
during
the
week
of
st
patrick's
day.
B
I
don't
have
an
answer
to
that,
but
we
don't
want
to
see
crowds
outside
with
whether
they're
waiting
to
get
in
people
talking
or
people
outside
for
a
cigarette.
So
you'll
have
to
use
your
best
judgment
about
how
to
disperse
those
lines.
C
Yeah
leslie
so
right
now
the
the
plan
is
that
that
would
change
on
the
22nd
according
to
the
state,
but
the
city
is
going
to
be
monitoring
the
metrics
over
the
next
three
weeks
to
determine
whether
or
not
we
will
align
with
that.
But
that
is
that
is
the
the
plan
on
the
state
side.
A
A
A
Muted,
okay,
I
don't
think
gerald
has
a
question:
is
there
anyone
else
who
has
a
question
or
a
comment?
Ask
susan.
J
J
A
A
Okay,
I'm
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
questions,
so
we
you
know
we
won't
take
up
any
more
of
your
time.
We
really
greatly
appreciate
everyone
coming
on
this
call
again
we
look
forward
to
when
we
can
actually
do
this
in
person
leading
up
to
st
patrick's
day
and
I'll.
Ask
the
chairwoman
if
she
wants
to
make
any
closing
remarks.
C
Sorry,
I
just
wanted
to
add
the
you
know.
I
heard
constantly
flynn
and
constantly
and
obviously
you
know.
C
I
I
just
again
want
to
add
that
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
all
the
business
owners
are
doing
and
managers.
I
just.
I
can't
appreciate
it
enough.
I
mean
we
know
that
you
all
are
trying
to
make
it
work
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
make
it
all
possible
and
and
from
our
end
on
public
health
and
captain
boyle's
team,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
can
do
what
you
know
you're
able
to
do.
But
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
C
You
know
we
have
had
to
come
talk
to
some
restaurants
and
and
get
help
around.
You
know,
contact
tracing
and
other
things
and
folks
have
been.
You
know
for
the
most
part
very
helpful,
because
I
know
you
want
to
keep
your
workers
safe
and
your
your
employees
safe
as
well.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
and
continue
to
work
with
us,
so
we
can
all
see
the
progress
that
we
want
to
make
and
be
back
into
some
better
days.
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
to
that
voice.
So
just.
B
B
A
I
believe
so
isd
and
I
can
see
dan
prendergast
nodding.
I
came
from
isd
so
that
that
was
a
first,
but
that
I
think
that
that
makes
sense.
We
would
also
like
to
ask
if
the
lieutenant
detective,
troy
sergeant,
gallagher
or
detective
hernandez
from
our
licensed
premise
unit,
who
I
think
everyone
on
this
call
is
very
familiar
with.
If
any
of
our
team
want
to
say
a
couple
words.
I
But
just
briefly
just
that
we'll
have
several
teams
not
on
the
weekend
before
and
st
patrick's
day
it's
off
and
and
the
following
weekend,
and
you
know
we
hope
for
and
expect
your
continued
cooperation
and
courtesy
and
we've
always
got
that
in
the
past,
and
we
really
appreciate
it.
As
the
chairwoman
and
captain
boyle
says
that
the
lines
in
particular
are
there
was
a
big
problem
last
last
year
it
was
all
over
the
media.
It
was.
I
It
was
a
very
big,
big
problem
when
it
was
particularly
poor
optics
and
it
didn't
reflect
well
on
on
on
the
bar
owners
in
the
community.
So
we
hope
that
you'd
assign
some
stuff
to
to
regulate
the
line
to
disperse
the
line,
if
possible.
If
there's
people
spoken
to
to
ask
them
to
move
down
the
street
or
further
away
from
the
premises
and
beyond
that,
you
know
just
simply
the
presence
of
our
our
detectives
and
the
captain's
officers
you
know
coming
into
your
bar.
It's
again:
it's
not
it's
not
purely
punitive.
I
It's
we're
there
as
a
resource
and
we're
there
to
help
and
we're
not
there
to
you
know
to
hammer
anybody.
That's
not
our
purpose
at
all
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
seeing
everybody
out
there.
A
H
I
would
echo
what
the
lieutenant
said.
Staffing
is
paramount.
If
you
have
a
good
staff
up
front,
let
patrons
know
exactly
when
they
come
in
what
they
have
to
do.
We
shouldn't
have
many
problems.
I
implore
a
lot
of
you
guys
to
use
an
id
checker.
H
This
holiday
usually
brings
a
pretty
big
party
crowd
and
a
younger
crowd
does
come
with
that.
There
are
a
lot
of
ids
out
there
if
you
need
help
with
any
of
the
ideas
that
day
myself
and
detective
hernandez
pulled
some
scanners
with
us
and
we
can
check
ideas
for
you,
but
if
you
guys
have
them
it'll
be
a
lot
easier
for
everybody.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
sergeant,
detective
hernandez.
Did
you
want
to
add
anything.
B
Leslie
I'd.
Lastly,
I
just
want
to
echo
what
sergeant
detective
gallagher
said
about
the
ids.
You
know
our
primary
focus
recently
has
been
on
the
cobia
guidelines,
but
we
are
looking
to
enforce
the
under
21
and
the
underage
drinking.
We've
had
several
several
violation
hearings
and
we
hear
the
same
thing
over
and
over
that
someone
came
in
for
dinner
and
they
weren't
checked
at
the
table.
B
So
I
strongly
recommend
you
check
the
ideas
of
people
that
sit
down
for
dinner
and
then
order
drinks,
because
that
is
something
that
we
are
looking
at
very
closely
again,
just
because
cobit's
going
on.
That's
that
is
not
something
we're
taking
lightly.
A
Thank
you,
and
the
same
goes
for
obviously
over
service
of
patrons,
which
is
something
that
in
past
years,
we
have
we've
seen
a
lot
of
on
this
holiday.
So
again
we
want
to
thank
everyone
as
again
the
the
licensed
premise
unit,
the
district
and
the
board
are
here
as
a
resource.
If
you
have
any
questions,
please
reach
out
and
again,
please
don't
hesitate
to
call
no
question
is
too
silly.
You
know
we're
trying
to
work
through
these
regulations.
Just
like
everybody
else
is
so,
please
don't
hesitate
to
reach
out
to
the
board.
