Gardner City license commission approves multiple one‑day liquor permits; staff reviews pending transfers and ABCC actions
Summary
At a Gardner City License Commission meeting, commissioners approved one‑day liquor permits for a hospital holiday social, a Gateway Fiber meet‑and‑greet and a women’s Circle of Giving event; staff also reported ABCC approvals or ongoing reviews for several transfer and manager‑change applications.
Gardner City’s License Commission approved several one‑day liquor permits and reviewed the status of multiple pending license transfers during a brief meeting recorded in the commission’s transcript.
The commission approved a one‑day license for a Haywood Hospital employee holiday social scheduled for Dec. 5 at Curry Auditorium after Teresa Thompson, representing Haywood Hospital, confirmed the event would be in its second year and that required tip‑certification documents were on file. “This would be our second year for this event,” Thompson said.
A one‑day permit for a Gateway Fiber meet‑and‑greet at Perry Auditorium on Nov. 13 was likewise approved after staff confirmed processing. The commission also approved a one‑day, full‑liquor permit for the Women’s Circle of Giving holiday meeting on Nov. 19. Chair (name not specified) instructed permit holders to post the license at the bar when received: “When you do get your license, you just have it at the bar,” the chair said.
Staff reviewed a series of longer‑running applications and ABCC actions. Sawah to Go’s on‑premises application, submitted in June, was reported by staff as approved by the ABCC on Nov. 7. An application for Gardner Lodge (Elks) that had been resubmitted after missing documents was reported closed after ABCC approval on Oct. 14. Several other matters — including a transfer and change‑of‑manager listing Justin Johnson for the South Garden Hotel and a transfer for Salwa Asian Cuisine and Lounge — remained under ABCC review or pending receipt of updated certificates.
The commission also noted license renewal processing with a November 26 deadline; any licensees not renewed by that date will be asked to appear before the commission at the next meeting to explain the delay. Chair welcomed Duane Falzon, a newly hired administrative assistant who will transition into the licensed‑commission clerk role.
