Borough voices known protest to AMCO over Bernie's Bar license renewal
Summary
After review of 12 trouble reports, the assembly voted to voice a known protest to the Alaska AMCO for Bernie's Bar LLC's beverage license renewal and directed the clerk to notify the state agency; the motion passed unanimously.
The Kodiak Island Borough Assembly on Feb. 5 voted to voice a known protest to the Alaska Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office (AMCO) regarding the beverage‑dispensary license renewal application submitted by Bernie's Bar LLC (DBA Bernie's Bar, license #4346) at 320 Center Street.
Clerk Nova reported the borough's investigation turned up 12 trouble reports; the code requires the clerk to present the list and the assembly to take a position. Assemblymembers discussed what qualifies as a "trouble report," noting the range can include incidents from minor slips to more serious matters, and asked whether any reports indicated systemic issues. Nova said no particular items were highlighted in the presentation beyond the report counts but that the revised code going forward will change how such reports are evaluated.
The assembly moved to "voice a known protest" and directed the clerk to notify AMCO; roll call was unanimous. The action creates an official municipal comment for the state licensing review process; AMCO will consider local objections in its licensing determination per state procedures.
