STORE
A public bearing was conducted on January 29, 1992, at 10:00 A.M., with
the following present:
Commissioner George Kennedy, Chairman
Commissioner Constance L. Harbert, Pro-Tem
Commissioner C. W. Kirby
Commissioner Gordon E. Lacy
Commissioner W. H. Webster
Also present:
Acting Clerk to the Board, Shelly Miller
Assistant County Attorney. Bruce Barker
The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice duly published January 3, 1992,
in The New News, a public hearing was conducted on January 15, 1992, to
consider the request of Donald Veden, dba The Little Store, for a 3.2%
Beer License for comsumption off the premises only. At said bearing of
January 15, the matter was continued to January 29, 1992, at which time
Bruce Barker, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record.
Commissioner Webster stated he had completed an inspection, and the sign
was properly posted. Mr. Barker read the letter from Commissioner Webster
stating all requirements have been met. Mr. Barker also mentioned that
Dave Sauter, of the State Liquor Enforcement Division, has provided
information concerning a pending violation against The Little Store. Mr.
Barker said there have been no court findings to date, and the court date
is set for February 18, 1992. Donald L. Veden, applicant, was present.
Commissioner Harbert questioned Mr. Veden about selling without a license
and selling to minors, as referenced in Mr. Sauter's report. Mr. Barker
advised Mr. Veden that anything said today may be used in court. Mr.
Veden explained he thought his bookkeeper had taken care of the license.
Commissioner Harbert stated the responsibility, as the owner and operator
of the establishment is to have the license and to ask for proper
identification from all persons buying liquor. Mr. Veden said proper
identification is asked for, and he has no knowledge of selling to minors.
Mr. Barker explained the Board may deny the license today; however, the
applicant can apply again in one year if denied because of neighborhood
requirements, and may apply again at any time if denied because of the
character of the applicant. Mr. Barker also stated the Board may grant
the license, but the final approval is dependent upon the State. Both the
State and the County have the option to revoke said license if the
criminal case is found guilty. Commissioner Harbert said she would like
to wait to grant the license until the criminal case has been decided.
There was no public testimony offered concerning this matter. Mr. Veden
said they have had some financial problems due to an employee taking
money, but they have not intentionally broken the law. Commissioner Lacy
said he has concerns with the past problems, but he believes it will be
taken care of in court. After further comments, Commissioner Lacy moved
to grant the 3.25 Beer License for Donald L. Veden, dba The Little Store,
with the court to handle restrictions, on the basis the establishment
meets the required standards. Commissioner Kirby seconded the motion, and
said he also has concerns about the carelessness and the identification
matter; however, he does not feel the matter should be held without any
court findings. The motion carried three to two on a roll-call vote, with
Commissioners Harbert and Kennedy voting nay.
