Summary

Council denied the liquor-license application(s) related to The Night Before Lounge and approved a Class C liquor license and manager application for Krupa Indian Cuisine by unanimous roll calls.

During the public-hearing portion of the Nov. 24 meeting, council members considered several liquor-license applications.

Steve Stevenson appeared on behalf of The Night Before Lounge and described a corporate ownership change that prompted the license and manager-application items. After questions, a councilor moved to deny items 4a and 4b; the motion carried by roll call, 7-0.

Later the council took up the application for Krupa Indian Cuisine and its manager application. Vishal Podil (presenting himself as manager/owner) described the operation at 8320 Northwoods Drive, Suite 100, and said the business is open. Podil answered questions, and councilors complimented the application. A motion to approve items 4c and 4d passed by roll call, 7-0.

Both votes were unanimous; the council did not provide an extended public-record rationale for the denial of the Night Before application during the hearing.
