Summary

Law Director Dery told council the state Liquor Control Commission hearing on the city's objection to the Taylor Street bistro (Zanmar LLC) was continued and rescheduled for Feb. 23; Dery said the city has witnesses ready and opposed the requested continuance.

Law Director Dery updated council that the State of Ohio Liquor Control Commission convened a hearing on Jan. 21 on the city’s objection to the Taylor Street bistro’s liquor license (held by Zanmar LLC). Dery said ownership requested a continuance that morning, which the city’s office opposed; the continuance was granted but for a shorter period than owners requested, and the hearing was rescheduled for Feb. 23.

Dery told council his office has a “pretty long list and diverse cast of witnesses” prepared and called the earlier date a dry run; he said the administrative hearing officer made clear the matter would go forward on Feb. 23.

Council members discussed logistics for attendance; one member said he may be out of town and asked about virtual participation, and Dery said he would notify the city attorney assigned to the case to coordinate with the commission about arrangements.

No formal council action was taken; the report was procedural and advisory to council.
