Most routine renewals and new permits were approved by voice vote; several renewals that carried violations were approved with conditions, continuances or other notes.

Routine approvals
- Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar (5664 Crawfordsville Road) — motion to approve carried.
- Multiple Aldi locations — renewals approved.
- Flying Squirrel LLC (5748 Crawfordsville Road) — renewal approved.
- VFW 7119 (6525 N. Lee Road) — renewal approved.
- All Moms Love (247 S. Meridian) — new beer-and-wine restaurant permit approved; owner testified she will card patrons and provide staff training.
- MIA 21 (Shoya revolving sushi) and other new restaurants — approvals granted subject to inspection and zoning documentation where required.

Renewals with violations and follow-up
- D and D Luger Inc. (Sports Page Lounge, 4603 N. Post Road) — renewal approved with one-year probation after violations including service to an intoxicated person and service outside the approved floor plan.
- Oceanaire Seafood Room (30 S. Meridian) — one-year renewal approved after settlement of excise violations; board noted lingering concerns and scheduled monitoring.
- Multiple stores and restaurants failed compliance stings or had paperwork lapses; in many cases the board accepted retraining, employee discipline (term, suspension or retraining) and vendor/system fixes (for point-of-sale issues).

Continued or remanded matters
- Moon Bar (148 E. Market St.) — continued to Oct. 6 after remonstrance; counsel said IMPD records were produced the morning of the hearing and requested time to review.
- Several items were continued because applicants lacked required documents (tax clearance, posted signage or zoning affidavits) and will return with complete paperwork.

Board procedure
President Tyler Graves and board representatives for Speedway (Robert Staten), Lawrence (Jim Hennigan) and Indianapolis (Peter Luster) handled the docket. Officer Amy Sounier administered oaths and advised applicants about required filing and inspection steps for new or transfer permits.

The board moved quickly through routine renewals with little discussion; items requiring additional evidence, proof of zoning or evidence of remediation were held or continued. Several owners were instructed to provide floor-plan changes, employee-permit records, or to schedule inspections before their licenses become active.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council of Indianapolis, IN - Alcoholic Beverage Board of Marion County","oneSentenceSummary","At its Sept. 2 meeting the Local Alcoholic Beverage Board approved dozens of routine renewals and several new permits; where renewals included violations the board recorded penalties or monitoring conditions.","taxTitle","Indianapolis City, Marion County, Indiana","taxId",3627,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6478891,"Rajasuru renewal remanded and approved for one year after carding-sting failure and a point-of-sale software glitch",576,8100000,8676000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5707797-de2a65b8692377d71a3531405f415a45&start=8100&end=8676","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5707797-de2a65b8692377d71a3531405f415a45/thumbnail_8100000.jpg","/articles/6478891/Indianapolis-City/Marion-County/Indiana/Rajasuru-renewal-remanded-and-approved-for-one-year-after-carding-sting-failure-and-a-point-of-sale-software-glitch","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6478891-8a182c35064cf0f8bec668ca5efb4a73/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159405&Signature=dprNcYFofXsjvMZWCU-LBmDLTIh1VkmORwHJkU8KtD7HKYB09elwbzh0xcGgxqYQ5~9i26Nr3d4iQzLgwC7-Uo3PRYKT5zEdyFSldIOS-MQ4W4SPLxDf7zK3KleLyyeeWDLRcKflPlqm9hicMS-cPwvfmeST6m9HcqFVejtCH1g8evHelkPsTJxi~Ybgorl-eKcHq1KSZsfXvTCz1rK1j1wjvivH8ISrzbYoSOMgxXkLI0DBzg0qC4LD2tgMuueka19OGK9r1SYVkpDzXAfXviCxIJr4TICNEuhm-C49cU7Q3WvJFXRqY4In-J8Tv4Xq6T5n1tev7VJ79DaY3ZGyOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Local Alcoholic Beverage Board reconsidered and approved a one-year renewal on Sept. 2 for Rajasuru Inc., doing business at 3801 East New York Street, after the Alcohol & Tobacco Commission remanded the matter for local review.

Owners said the application had been remanded after the state initially voted to deny and that new evidence about the incidents had been provided to the board. Attorney and owner representatives explained a point-of-sale software malfunction that temporarily created negative transaction balances; the vendor Verifone remotely restarted and reloaded the system to correct the problem. “They had to remotely restart their software,” counsel said, and the owners provided logs and case numbers from the vendor to the board.

The board also reviewed a compliance failure in which an employee in training completed a sale to a youth during a sting. Owners said the employee was in a probationary training period, did not complete that period and subsequently was dismissed. The business also supplied later documentation of a successful tobacco compliance check and said it had installed an ID scanner to block underage purchases.

Board members expressed concern about the hindering allegation — an excise officer reported that a staff member moved receipts during an inspection — and about the use of an in-training clerk alone at a register. Owners said the clerk had been trying to discard obsolete receipts related to the software glitch, and that the employee was not retained. The board accepted the vendor logs and the corrective steps taken and approved a one-year renewal, giving the business time to demonstrate continued compliance and the function of its upgraded transaction system.

The board required that the owner maintain the new ID-scanning system and follow up with employee-permit and training records to excise staff.","Rajasuru (3801 E. New York St.) had a prior denial remanded to the local board; owners explained a register/software error and that an employee in training made the sale that led to a compliance fail.

Meridian St.) for one year after extended discussion about a settled excise action tied to a fatal motor-vehicle crash.

Alex Intermill of Bose McKinney & Evans, representing Oceanaire’s operator, explained that the company and state prosecutor reached a settlement for a set of excise violations that included allegations of service to an intoxicated person and employee-permit records. Intermill said the prosecutor removed language in the settlement that would have required Oceanaire to admit the underlying facts. “We did not want to and weren't in a position to admit to the sale to an intoxicated person,” Intermill said, adding that the company paid the $1,500 penalty and had retrained staff.

Oceanaire’s on-site manager described corporate-mandated, annual training and daily staff awareness measures for identifying signs of intoxication. He said employees are instructed to card anyone who appears under 40 and that workers are empowered to refuse further service with manager support. Counsel added that local law-enforcement investigatory records remained difficult to obtain because of ongoing criminal litigation connected to the crash; the firm said it submitted public-records requests and preserved relevant materials.

Board members debated the weight of Oceanaire’s compliance history against the seriousness of the incident. “This is a tragic one,” a board member said. Some members said Oceanaire has a long record of compliance; others expressed hesitation because an apparent customer later died in a traffic crash and an unresolved criminal case limited visibility into the records.

After discussion, the board approved a one-year renewal with the chair and several members saying they would have “no appetite” for another violation. The motion carried on a voice vote. Board members noted that Oceanaire had retrained employees and that managers said two employees involved in the incident no longer worked at the restaurant.

The company said it would continue retraining and increase communications about identifying intoxication during large events, such as pro-football games. The board recorded the renewal and instructed staff to monitor compliance over the coming year.","The board approved a one-year renewal for the Oceanaire Seafood Room despite unsettled questions about whether staff served an intoxicated patron linked to a later fatal crash; the company paid a settlement and said it would increase training and vigilance.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6478899,"Sports Page Lounge renewal approved with one-year probation after violations",759,1115000,1874000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5707797-de2a65b8692377d71a3531405f415a45&start=1115&end=1874","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5707797-de2a65b8692377d71a3531405f415a45/thumbnail_1115000.jpg","/articles/6478899/Indianapolis-City/Marion-County/Indiana/Sports-Page-Lounge-renewal-approved-with-one-year-probation-after-violations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6478899-1ca73b1c768a5554e0b4ee9078d9a793/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159405&Signature=RvvFbEfAwv1-n7MdUQx8hF3DcrB1IXODMpGTOv5dSViehFT~WVBF2myFUHnm7fvWlT7cEkZj6LFTd8HEonJ4tJ1GFAQKei9whbzVxrT8I3btLdEFUzpxOzhGEIVHApYrL1V7mTwhs1BtKVzmmMgvpzNX5PcHWGyXzgj1IlXsmUopiSYr5QR4R-tL4G6JWrovXloTHBoB54GAv1LOU5bNpTD-lQDaI40oJ2zL~vjtsAmwMk1qbT9BPmajeaDsq2sXv6LL3ruh79nqBdt~xlF4-xv-Pr8BjHiK6NA3NxitYRknfTIj1oz-4dvURPcmDUnUHhes2AScTJ7OmU5CfiKsHA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Local Alcoholic Beverage Board of Marion County voted Sept. 2 to renew the permit for D and D Luger Inc., which operates Sports Page Lounge at 4603 North Post Road, but placed the license on a one-year probation that conditions the renewal on no further violations.

Dennis Luger, who identified himself as the owner, acknowledged the board’s determination that multiple violations had occurred at the location, including sales to an intoxicated person and service after hours. Luger said the business had a patio area not included in its floor plan and that staff had served drinks in that area. “We had a violation for over serving a customer and drinking on the we had an outside area that was, I guess, not on our property,” Luger told the board.

Board members pressed Luger about staff training, employee drinking and management oversight. Representative Jim Hennigan noted the accumulation of problems and proposed a probationary renewal. Hennigan said managers and owners must be present and ensure staff know signs of intoxication, hours of operation and other rules. “I would make a motion to put him on a year's, years probation,” Hennigan said.

The motion — seconded by a board member — carried. The board recorded that the license would be renewed for one year with terms: any further violations within the probationary year could lead to more severe sanctions, including potential loss of license. Board staff also gave the owner contact information for excise staff and advised him to submit floor-plan changes and server-training documentation.

Luger told the board he has owned the business for roughly 15 years and said he would increase his oversight and speak directly with staff about compliance. The board emphasized written records: employee permits, training documentation, floor-plan amendments, and minimum-food records for late-night operations.","The board approved renewal for D and D Luger Inc.

The board’s president, Tyler Graves, opened the hearing and swore witnesses. Crystal Stone rose to say, “I’m Crystal Stone, and remonstrated remonstrated against Moon Bar located at 148 East Market Street.” Detective Tiffany Masten of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and representatives of Downtown Indiana also identified themselves as remonstrators.

Clark Kirkland of Clark Quinn Law, who represents Moon Bar, asked the board to continue the matter to next month. “I would like to request a continuance on this matter until next month. I just received materials from IMPD this morning,” Kirkland said. He told the board he submitted a public-records request after the prior hearing and had not received the city records until the day of the meeting.

Board members discussed the timing. Graves said the board generally offers a single continuance when remonstrance has been filed, and members weighed whether the newly produced materials justified extra time. After deliberation the board voted to grant a continuance to the board’s next meeting and stated explicitly that no further continuances would be granted for either side. Graves said he would send notice to the applicant to appear at the next hearing.

The remonstrance will be heard at the board’s next meeting, scheduled for Monday, Oct. 6. The board recorded the continuance as a formal action and made clear that the case will be settled locally at that time unless further procedural developments occur at the state level.

Members of the public who testified and the applicant’s counsel emphasized the board’s need to see the IMPD records and related exhibits before the next hearing. Kirkland said the materials included calls-for-service and police reports the defense had requested; remonstrators said they brought concerns about public safety and neighborhood impacts.

The board’s secretary, Officer Amy Sounier, administered the oath to all who testified. Graves reiterated the board’s scheduling rules: applicants who are remonstrated against must appear, and the board will not grant additional notices beyond the stated continuance.

The case is continued; the board will take up Moon Bar at its October meeting with the newly exchanged exhibits and remonstrators present.","The Local Alcoholic Beverage Board granted a continuance in the remonstrance against Moon Bar (148 E.
