Action Requested: Consider renewal of the liquor license for Chikos Enterprises, dba
Chiko's Bar & Grill (On-Sale/Sunday On-Sale Intoxicating) for 2013.
Deadline/ Timeline: All annual licenses expire on December 31, 2012.
Background: • The business had previously been known as Mi Casita Mexican
Grill,but in 2012 changed the trade name to Chiko's Bar& Grill.
• The license renewal application was submitted on December 5,
2012. The application included fees but not the required certificate
of liquor liability insurance.
• There have been two compliance check failures at the business in
the past three years. The first violation occurred on December 30.
2009. After a hearing, the City Council imposed a civil penalty of
$500 and a one-day license suspension, which was served on April
26, 2010.
• The business failed a second compliance check on October 15,
2010. A hearing was held on April 19, 2011 at which time the City
Council imposed a civil penalty of$1,000 and a three-day license
suspension. The suspension began on Apri125, 2011.
• The Sheriff's Department investigation found no other issues with
the license.
• Ordinance No. 93 provides that the City Council has discretion on
whether to gant or renew any liquor license.
Recommendation: I recommend that if the Council approves the license it be contingent
upon receipt of an insurance certificate covering the license renewal
period.
