Summary

Brian Hargan presented a change‑of‑manager application for Cavallo Diner to put Rafael Guzman on the license; the board noted prior unpaid taxes by the former owner had been resolved and requested a corrected license number before final action.

Brian Hargan, representing Cavallo Diner, introduced an application to change the manager to Rafael Guzman and said the business remains at 297 South Broadway with no change to the types of alcohol served. Hargan said Guzman has attempted to update his license before but needed to clear outstanding tax liabilities left by the prior owner before the application could move forward.

Board members confirmed the application details and asked that a local license field (AVCC/local license number) be corrected in the application before final approval. The representative said Guzman was expected to join the meeting but was likely at work and would attend later if possible. The board discussed whether to defer action until the manager’s appearance or proceed; staff indicated they could correct the license number and continue the process after the inspection.

The board did not record a final approval of the manager change at the time of the enforcement discussion and indicated inspections and verification of application fields remain prerequisites to final licensing action.
