Council revokes liquor licenses tied to Campanella's amid receivership correspondence
Summary
After a solicitor's review of an email chain from a court-appointed receiver, the council moved to revoke two liquor licenses connected to a property whose prior ownership transfer lacked required authorization; the motions passed on recorded roll calls.
The Safety Services & License Committee moved to accept an email chain from a receiver into the record and subsequently voted to revoke two liquor licenses tied to a property formerly operating as Campanella's. The solicitor said the receiver expressed no objection to the revocations and recommended they be revoked for failure of the prior owner to follow lawful procedures.
The committee first voted to place the email chain in the record and then took separate roll-call votes on revoking a Victorian license and a Class B (full) license. Council members recorded their votes on the motions; the motions carried. Solicitor testimony indicated the receivership process and municipal claims should be pursued through filing a claim with the receiver's administration if the city seeks to recover tangible taxes or other debts. Attorney Murray, representing former owners and applicants appearing later on the agenda, advised the city to file a claim in receivership to preserve priority.
