1. Show Cause Hearing

Elena's Cafe, 3885 Rupert Street File: 2711-19

A. THAT a 1999 business license not be issued to the Applicant, Salvatore Bruzzese, doing business as Elena's Cafe, 3885 Rupert Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, because the Applicant is likely to carry on business to the detriment of the safety and well being of the public in that:

(a) the Applicant has carried on business in the City of Vancouver without a business license in contravention of the License By-law of the City of Vancouver;

(b) the Applicant has been closely involved in the operation of Elena's Cafe in the past and has participated in disruptive, noisy activities at Elena's Cafe, to the detriment of the safety and well being of the public;

(c) the application by Salvatore Bruzzese is not a genuine application, but rather an application on behalf of Elena Bruzzese, and therefore an attempt to circumvent the Council decision of September 21, 1999;

(d) the Applicant has no experience or training in the operation of a limited service food establishment.

B. THAT Council be informed by the Chief License Inspector if any further applications for a business license are made by Salvatore Bruzzese to the City of Vancouver.

C. THAT the member municipalities of the Greater Vancouver Regional District be notified of Council's decision on this matter.

- CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
