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]
