Ms. Ricci thanked the fire department for allowing her to participate with the fire fighters on their job and was impressed with everyone’s knowledge and compassion.

Mr. Glickert said that he would like the business owners present be able to speak. Mr. Tuyen Hua, house manager for Pho Long, was present to represent his father who is the owner. His father, Kim Long Hua, has had two years of restaurant experience with the previous owner of Mr. Lee’s Restaurant and Mr. Tuyen Hua has been a bartender and a waiter for several years, most recently at Outback Restaurants. Ms. Brot asked him if he would be happy with a beer and wine license. Mr. Tuyen Hua said that is all they have requested. Ms. Ricci wanted to know if his father was going to continue in the jewelry business or remain as the owner and operator of Pho Long. Mr. Glickert moved to approve this liquor license and was seconded by Ms. Brot. Mr. Price suggested that Council needs to be consistent on their approvals so that all applicants will be treated the same, especially in requiring the same amount of previous experience. Ms. Brot said that after Mr. Long, the owner, reworked the application more extensively, it was found that he and his son had previous experience. Mr. Price called for question.
