Committee forwards Duet Coffee & Wine revocation hearing without recommendation to allow time to resolve outstanding tax liability
Summary
A statutorily mandated revocation process for Duet Coffee & Wine (114777 Lake Street West) was opened and, with no appellant present, the committee voted to forward the matter without recommendation to full council to allow the business time to address outstanding taxes.
The Business, Housing and Zoning Committee on April 8 held a quasi-judicial hearing on a proposed license revocation for Duet Coffee & Wine at 114777 Lake Street West and voted to forward the matter to full council without recommendation.
City Attorney Amy Shutt described the proceeding as a statutorily mandated process prompted by an outstanding tax liability by the business. Shutt explained the typical process for such revocation hearings: “This is a statutorily mandated, process for a revocation hearing due to an outstanding tax liability by the business.” The appellant did not appear at the committee hearing and no public testimony was offered.
Council Member Cashman moved to forward the item without recommendation to full council to allow the business time to complete required paperwork and address the outstanding liability; the city attorney confirmed that this approach provides an opportunity for the business to resolve matters before any final revocation action. The committee approved the motion by voice vote: “The ayes have it and the motion carries.” The committee record notes the underlying cause as outstanding taxes to the state and that the revocation process at the local level is bound by state statute.
