EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ISSUE
Thompsons Fireside Pizza II, Inc. DBA Fireside has held an On -Sale Liquor License Class B and Sunday
Liquor License since March, 2010. Due to a change in company ownership, it is necessary for Fireside to
apply for a new liquor license.
Per City Code, in the case of corporate licenses, Section 3 -1 -9A provides that the license is only valid
"...so long as there is no change in the officers or ownership interest of the corporation, within the
meaning of subsection 3 -1 -6D of this Chapter unless such change is approved by the Council..."
From previous documents provided to the City, the applicants only identified the ownership interest of
Richard B. Thompson (President and Owner) who owns 60% and Mary Kay Eigner (Vice President and
Secretary) owns 40 Since the original application, the applicants submitted documentation that shows a
change in ownership. The recitals of the document state that Bradley Erickson is a 19% shareholder of
the restaurant. These types of changes in ownership of a corporation must be disclosed and brought
before the City Council for approval. Failure to do so is grounds for revocation of the license.
The Police Department has conducted the appropriate background check on Mr. Erickson and
determined that there are no issues with the background check. Based upon the information provided in
the original background investigation of the principles in ownership and the history of the restaurant since
opening, it is recommended that a new license with the additional owner be approved.
SUMMARY
Staff recommends approval of the above stated motion.
