1. Van's Grocery - 757 East Broadway File: 2711-29

A. THAT a 2000 business license not be issued to the Applicant, Mancharambath Velayudhan, doing business as Van's Grocery, 757 East Broadway, Vancouver, B.C., 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 failed to properly manage the Business premises by:

(i) carrying on business without a business license in contravention of the License By-law of the City of Vancouver; and

(ii) allowing Prem Velayudhan to be found on the premises and to participate in the operation of the business on the premises;

(b) the application by Mancharambath Velayudhan is not a genuine application, but is in fact an application on behalf of Prem Velayudhan, and therefore an attempt to circumvent the suspension by the Chief License Inspector of the 1999 Business License issued to Prem Velayudhan, doing business as Van's Grocery.

B. THAT Council be informed by the Chief License Inspector if any further applications for a business license are made by Mancharambath Velayudhan, Prem Kishor Velayudhan, or any member of their immediate family 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

(c) 1998 City of Vancouver
