Board renews 3rd Base Bar and Grill license after expired employee permit
Summary
LaPorte County board approved a one-year renewal for 3rd Base Bar and Grill after the owner acknowledged an expired employee permit (seven days past expiration), paid a $500 fine and described steps to prevent a recurrence.
The LaPorte County Alcoholic Beverage Commission granted a one‑year renewal June 4 for 3rd Base Bar and Grill after the owner acknowledged an employee‑permit record had been seven days expired during a March inspection.
Owner Kent Johnson said one permit lapsed after longtime bookkeeping staff left and that he has implemented reminders via QuickBooks and calendar alerts and assigned new staff responsibility. The board noted the business paid a $500 fine and that the violation involved a lack of a current employee permit record, which the owner attributed to a clerical error.
Following questioning about recordkeeping and assurances new procedures are in place, a board member moved and the board approved a one‑year renewal by voice vote.
