The applicant submitted the following statement in support of this application. Spelling, grammar and punctuation in the statement are shown exactly as written by the applicant on the City Questionnaire.
I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“I have been the registered agent and managed the business on the current liquor license for over 6 years and with no occurance reflected on our record for as long as we've been in I I have taken the Title 4 Manager Liquor Law Training on a regular basis and require my staff to keep current on their Liquor Training as well. The safety of my patrons and respect for our neighbors have always been a priority and will continue to be moving forward.”
The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:
“Kobalt has operated as a responsible member of the local community for the past 12 years. We have had zero occurances with the liquor board. Kobalt staff and ownership have always sought to be viewed as more than "just a bar". Our ongoing efforts to work with local non profits, neighborhood sports teams and community groups help us achieve that goal.”
