3:48 pm
and we termed their contract and brought only interference. >> your pleased with interference. >> yes. there's been a bunch of incidents i wanted to during your operations and so i have to ask you what experience do you have in running a bar. >> i managed kokomo for seven years i'll i'm not bringing that on as my burgundy experience and good. >> one thing it is not correlate to the operations at fort one at all it was basically keeping in you know hiring people. >> okay. on february 14, 2015 there was an assault in front of your club 3 people were denied industry and attacked the doorman do you have a occupancy
3:49 pm
rate of 398 and put guards in at 3 hundred you have 3 doors and indicated our doors are covered one guard left over for the inside there's one ensured at the door denied industry to 3 people and attacked him with no back up. >> that's incorrect we hired staff for one hundred 50. >> but that's not what our application says a minimum ratio of one to one hundred is increased during entertainment and it depends on schedule but one per hundred is all i can assume that's what you wrote. >> i understand that was when i had submitted this application when i meet with the police department after that we agreed that one per 50 was the best plan of operation after that so since that after 2015 i've been
3:50 pm
doing one per 50 and after that incident a minimum of that 8 guards. >> nevertheless on april 14th your doorman was attacked how did that happy you want to aid that. >> i'd like to address that a group of gentlemen came up were drinking had beer in their hands when they walked up our security told them they can't come in they were intoxicated they had a proximate cause they through the beer in the security guards face and attacked him repeatedly. >> on the next day the 15 a glass was smashed on the head of a patron. >> so i address that credit the
3:51 pm
entertainment commission and the police department the dates were incorrect that was the same day unfortunately. >> one time after midnight. >> not it makes it better we don't have glass. >> that's my question. >> it was a statement that the patron made thinking it was glass. >> so on awe corrective cup was smashed on the head of a patron. >> yes. >> so that patron made a police report. >> yeah was because we were able to locate offender. >> so if someone is asked to leave a bar how do you separate them and put them outside. >> basically, if it's two
3:52 pm
groups we take them to oppose sides of the venue on the street if it is called for we call the police. >> but you take them outs at the same time. >> not one group out a different door luckily there's a lot of exists we have the fire exits on one side and take them up the stairs on the other side. >> okay. well according to a short synopsis you had 5 assaults and 1, 2, 3 months that's a lot so, i mean it gives me pause to ask the question to know what you're doing. >> that's fair we've also been dealing with rectify raft and other crowds from the parlor as
3:53 pm
transitioned and no new incidents. >> since february 15th. >> if you look at the records after january 1st no incidents that was our transitional since then only the one on february 17th century. >> february 8th that was something we initiated there was an intoxicated patron acting irrational so we activated that call with the police department and instructed us to be pro-active and that's what we're doing. >> so you have to understand from my prospective you'll taking over the parlor what used to be the parlor and coming with experience from the kokomo it makes me want to condition the hell out of your permit because
3:54 pm
it is okay. so - i'm done with my questions for new thank you very much. >> commissioner lee. >> the parlor used to use a lot of outdoors promoters is that your plan are you doing in house proemths. >> yeah. in house promotion we use them as always always control the door. >> you have a promoters rental are they known promoters from town or they come back by to want to promote our club. >> no local. >> we had a burgundy process on everyone. >> so you think 50 percent of your business is outdoor or 75 percent is in house. >> we're building it up hoping to be 80 or 90 percent in house
3:55 pm
this is a process it's a destination location not the easiest location from different parts of the city right now it is 50 percent. >> can you explain our process how you know what is is good promoter from a bad one. >> most the are promoters we're right now are people we've been working with in the past 8 years. >> at the parlor. >> no at different venues anywhere from east side west to fluid back in 2004 2005. >> all the promoters are used their circulate the boars from the fusion lounge they have credibility and reputable names
3:56 pm
that's very, very important to us. >> and all the marketing is in house like i said we're in control of the doors. >> commissioner perez. >> hello thanks for coming in on your circulation the neighborhood part you left blank. >> you spoke with the cv d can you expand an what you've done in contacting our direct neighbors and what's happening. >> so the location is very, very heavily business oriented only two residents in there and one is vacated since i've taken over one is dan he will gonzales i had an open house and submitted i put like a piece of paper underneath the door to come down to get to us he came

3:59 pm
exhaust effort to help for lack of a better term 0 rehabilitate this group i think this is not something i side we're at a point now the department is not going to oppose this application jason and i had numerous conversations i was talking about with the lieutenant about this application we've got a lot of protection in place with our gop obviously we have a lot of protections with the abc license the applicant knows there's a lot at stake here they've got notoriety one of the fidgets was activated by local moa so they're at a point they've done their rebranding knock on would do they're working well with their security so the police departments approach gorging we are going to look forward and continue to work with the
4:00 pm
operators and we're not going to oppose the application at this point. >> lieutenant is it true their liquor services there's no nor violate service. >> that was agreed upon by the applicant and us and that was a great thing to move this forward even prior to them taco over the prior operators were reckless with the bottles. >> is that a permanent thing no bottles service. >> it's permanent to the extent it's on their liquor license about 9 other conditions and they will be in a position down the road to petition to modify the license it is way two premature to talk about the outcome. >> okay. thank you.
