Owner of 'American' requests liquor license and gaming terminals; council does not move request forward
Summary
Harry Patel, who said he purchased the American this year, asked for an on-premises liquor license and 3–4 video gaming machines monitored by front-desk staff; council indicated no member was willing to move the request and it was not advanced.
Harry Patel introduced himself to the council as "Harry Patel from American," identifying himself as the new owner and requesting an on‑premises liquor license and permission to place 3–4 video gaming machines near the front desk, with staff monitoring.
"So it will bring the more revenue for the city as well and where our guests can enjoy the gaming and little liquor too," Patel said, arguing the change would increase local revenue. Council members discussed the request informally; no council member moved the item forward and the mayor indicated the request was unlikely to proceed without a motion. Patel thanked the council for their time and the item was not advanced at the meeting.
