[0:00] Thank you.
[0:00] Thank you.
[0:02] Okay.
[0:02] Welcome, everyone.
[0:03] And we will stand for a moment of silence and then the pledge of allegiance.
[0:16] All right.
[0:16] Please join us in the pledge of allegiance.
[0:19] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.
[0:24] And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, individual with liberty
[0:29] and justice for all.
[0:36] In accordance with section 84, 1412, the Nebraska Revised Statutes, a current copy of the open
[0:40] I mean, that is available for review on the Council Chambers.
[0:43] Jake, please take roll.
[0:45] Mayor Nicolette here, Bushcutter.
[0:47] More.
[0:47] Eric.
[0:48] Schmidt.
[0:49] There are no oral communications.
[0:52] There's no unfinished business, which takes us to public hearing one, which pertains
[0:55] to the new Class One Liquor License and Manager Applications submitted by K-Town Wolfpack
[1:00] LLC, doing business as a miracle on 23rd Street, located at 11 West 23rd Street.
[1:06] And Jake, are you going to kick us off?
[1:08] Yep.
[1:09] So the class I liquor license and manager application for Cameron Pester before Council this evening is for a new seasonal
[1:16] Christmas theme pop-up cocktail bar to be located at 11 West 23rd Street.
[1:22] As KPD's memo noted, the business plans to open October 15th.
[1:26] According to their business plan, their hours of the operation will be Thursday through Sunday from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.
[1:32] Also, as noted on the memo included in the packet, Council has the option to approve or deny the request for a class I liquor license for the new business.
[1:40] The resolution pertaining to Council's recommendation will be submitted to the Nebraska Literal Commission for their consideration.
[1:48] And Cameron Pester, the manager for the business is here if you guys have any questions.
[1:53] Cameron, you want to tell us more about what you guys are planning?
[1:56] Yeah, go out to the podium.
[1:57] Yeah, I don't know if you guys have ever been to a holiday pop up bar in some of the bigger cities
[2:03] But what it is, it's the Christmas theme holiday pop up bar that's we're gonna have open for approximately 60 days each year
[2:10] Or we'll serve you know holiday drinks, you know a small menu because we can't offer all kinds of things
[2:16] Just kind of bring people to the downtown actually
[2:19] We think it would be a good venue for people who are down to your shopping
[2:22] You know on the on the bricks and they'll have a place to stop and then have a drink
[2:27] And so that's kind of the theme.
[2:29] So for about 60 to 75 days, we'll be open after that.
[2:34] Our plan is to just let up be rented
[2:36] for birthday parties, graduations, fantasy, football drafts.
[2:40] Whatever that may be, but really,
[2:41] we're going to have a short window of when it's open.
[2:44] And that's really the theme.
[2:48] OK.
[2:48] Are you guys comfortable with the liquor serving laws?
[2:52] And how many employees are you going to get trained
[2:55] to serve alcohol, but we don't know how many employees we're going to need yet, because we
[2:59] haven't quite finished the build out and we haven't got to that point, but we are
[3:03] confused with all of the laws I've taken the tests and that kind of stuff and every employee
[3:08] that comes, we'll complete those tests through that posse website.
[3:17] Any other questions?
[3:19] No.
[3:20] How many different ways can serve egg nog?
[3:23] But the way I got a friend of mine, I think is putting up a Christmas tree next week, so you're
[3:29] behind schedule according to her.
[3:31] A lot of Christmas, when you walk in there, it's going to be pretty wild.
[3:34] Oh, good.
[3:35] There's that goes.
[3:36] But we're really kind of focused on that, you know, the 40 and up range of people who want to
[3:41] stop by for just a cocktail or two and get on their way.
[3:44] We're not looking for people that set up shop for hours.
[3:47] It's just kind of fun places to stop in.
[3:50] Okay, we can put parking meters in front of that.
[3:53] I don't think we can do that.
[3:55] All right, thanks.
[3:56] Thanks.
[3:58] This is the public hearing.
[3:59] Is there anyone in the audience who has to address public hearing?
[4:03] One.
[4:05] I moved to close public hearing one and moved for the adoption of resolution number
[4:09] 2026-97 approving.
[4:11] A new class one.
