CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO
June 8, 1992
The Liquor Authority Meeting in the matter of the renewal hearing and
show cause hearing for Lakeside Liquors was called to order by chairman
Winger at 6:30 p.m. Liquor Authority members present: Vance Edwards,
Ron Selstad, Elise Brougham, Donald Eafanti, Kent Davis, Tony Flasco,
Phil Edwards and Bill Shanley. Also present: City Clerk, Wanda Sang;
City Attorney, John Hayes; City Administrator, Robert Middaugh; City
Liquor Prosecutor, Rick Gleason.
City Attorney, John Hayes, stated that the City Liquor Prosecutor, Rick
Gleason, and the attorney for Lakeside Liquors, Robert Kelly, had
executed a letter today, in which Mr. Kelly agreed that his client
admit the violations set forth in the show cause hearing.
Robert Kelly, 445 Union Blvd., Lakewood, agreed with Mr. Hayes'
statements. He indicated for the record that he represents Nora
Martinez, but does not represent Michael Sherry, who is also listed on
the liquor license and who is also present. Mrs. Martinez admits to the
alleged violations. Mr. Kelly alleged that Mrs. Martinez did not sell
the liquor to the minor, but that the liquor was possibly stolen while
she was in a back room. His client was willing to take a polygraph test
in the criminal case in this matter, but at this time she is admitting
the violation to get this matter resolved.
Mr. Kelly asked for a fine in lieu of suspension. Mrs. Martinez grosses
approximately $300.00 per day in her store.
Motion by Phil Edwards to retire for fact finding; seconded by Mr.
Shanley; carried 8-0.
Motion by Mr. Davis for a 3 day suspension, defer 2 days and levy a fine
in lieu of the third day in the amount of $200.00; seconded by Mrs.
Brougham; carried 7-0 with Mr. Flasco abstaining. Mr. Flasco had been
out of the room a good part of the defense attorney's presentation and
had asked to abstain. There was no objection.
