Atty. David Banger appearing with the applicant. The applicant has run the business
for two years and it is a very clean, nice convenience store. He has not had any
violations or citations and this is the first complaint.
The applicant states that when he received the complaint with the notice, he was
surprised. He states the customer asked for a $1 juice and he told her juice was
more than $1. The customer asked another customer for money and he asked her
not to ask other customers for money. He was not aware at that point that she was
diabetic, but states the store has candy for under $1. The customer began to yell at
him, so he asked her to leave. The customer then shouted expletives back at the
owner. He states he would have helped her if he knew she was diabetic and he
never called her a name.

Renewal Applications for "ZARKO'S NIGHTCLUB" at 4126 N TEUTONIA Av.
(Expires 5/12/2015)
Atty. Michael Maistelman appearing with the applicant. He states that a private
security firm operates at the establishment each day of the week and the number of
personnell are increased over the weekend. It is policy to wand customers, but that
was not done the night of the police incident. They are now re-examining the security
plan and are looking at hiring a different, bonded security company. They intend to
work more on patrolling the area around the establishment and will investigate
including ID scanners in the operation.
The applicant states they have tried ID scanners in the past, but there are so many
fake IDs that physically looking at ID has been more effective. They will investigate
newer technology in scanners. They also have security escort people to cars.
Individual appearing:
David Bowen - 4080 N 21st St - He is not in support or opposed to the application.
He is concerned with loitering after bar close and wants to ensure a plan is
established if the establishment continues operating.
Ald. Hamilton present at the table. The business has been operating for many years
and the applicant has consistently participated in the business improvement district.
They have also communicated well. There has been a lapse however. The applicant
has worked with the neighbors to occasionally shut down and reconfigure plans. He
would like one person from the business assigned to attend the BID meetings so any
issues could be addressed immediately.

Translating for the applicant:
Daniel Barella - 2110 S 7th St - The night of the after hours incident on March 21,
2015, there were 15 people on premise who were not drinking, but were planning a
party. It took a minute to open the door for police because the applicant was on the
other side of the bar. He did not know about his outstanding citation, but he will pay
for it. The applicant intends to add more security and resolve the issue of loud music.
He will never have people in the bar after hours again.
Also appearing:
Nancy Bush - 1635 S 8th St, BID 4 - She states the businesses in the business
improvement district have been concerned with the last few incidents. She had met
with the applicant when he first applied and again met with him a few weeks ago.
She was not aware of the issues when they met. If the applicant continued with the
initial business plan and had no further incidents, the board would be in support.
Ald. Perez present at the table. He states he has concerns about the incident with
people in the establishment after hours. His office has also received complaints
about noise from the establishment. There are many residential units near the
establishment and less noise should be emanating from such a small business.
Ald. Stamper moved approval with a ten day suspension based on aldermanic
testimony, neighborhood testimony, and the police report, contingent on proof of
satisfaction being submitted. (Prevailed 3-1, Ald. Coggs voted no)

Public Entertainment Premises License Renewal Applications for "Studio 200" at 200
E WASHINGTON St. (Expires 5/2/2015)
Atty. William Fenger - He states when the alderman has contacted the establishment
about problems, he had requested Sharon Dixon respond. He is the owner of the
business and Sharon Dixon is the property owner. There is a possibility that he has
been unaware of some issues at the establishment. Bartenders do the day to day
management of the business. He states the disc jockeys determine their own music
and once they turn the music up too loud, the business does not hire the disc jockey
again. They have told four or five promoters that they will no longer do business with
them. An agent at the business hires the disc jockeys. The owner is not at the
events, but is aware of when they occur and approves them. If disc jockeys do not
follow the establishment's rules, they are not re-hired. The speakers on the patio can
be controlled by contract and the bartenders can keep the noise under control. He
will give the neighbors his phone number so they can contact him if there are issues.
Individuals appearing in opposition:
Doug Quigley - 1110 S 1st St - There have been issues at the establishment for
many years. He approached Ms. Dixon several years ago and told her that his home
was pulsating from the music. He states she was combative in response. Since then
he has been contacting the police department, the Department of Neighborhood
Services, and now the alderman regarding noise.

Meeting Minutes
April 28, 2015
Curtis Peck - 1108 S 1st St - He agrees with the previous speaker. He has known
Ms. Dixon for many years and he has spoken to her about the loud music. He states
her response was that she can play music as loud as she'd like. Her Facebook page
has patrons of the establishment thanking her for a good night. Music has been so
loud that he has seen panels of a parked truck vibrate. The establishment has music
both inside and outside.
Kathleen Hamilton - 1128 S 1st St - She agrees with both of the previous speakers.
On one night, she was speaking with a police officer outside the establishment at
1:30 AM and Ms. Dixon approached them to state she spoke with other neighbors
and no one else had problems with the noise. Ms. Dixon gave her a phone number
to call if there were issues. She called the number and got no answer. She
contacted the alderman and immediately saw improvements, but the noise has
recently become an issue again.
Neutral individuals appearing:
Officer Kevin Vodicka - A report was received about an event across the street from
the establishment. The event was to occur at an unlicensed premise. Ms. Dixon
stated that both locations would be having disc jockeys and those attending the other
event would be given wristbands for access to the licensed establishment.
Individual appearing in support:
Sonia Conipo - 170 W Crawford Ave - She is a disc jockey at the establishment. She
works with the business to hold food drives, clothing drives, and blood drives. Last
fall the amplifier settings area had been locked up, but some disc jockeys bring their
own equipment. She tries to keep the volumes low and not play music too late. She
says music also emanates from area house parties and cars in a nearby gas station
parking lot. She contracts through one of the bartenders. Ms. Dixon comes to the
establishment when the music is too loud to have it turned down.
Ald. Perez states he has witnessed loud music at the establishment and went in to
ask that it be turned down. He spoke with Sharon Dixon during the incident. He
states it is not clear who manages the establishment.
