Deferred to Law Director Gareau for a discussion of this matter. Law Director Gareau reported that, as a result of a negotiated settlement, the Board of Liquor Control had given the Star Lounge until November 1, 1991 to transfer their liquor license at an arms-length transfer to a new owner who could not be a relative. When the City received the information that Steve Vase1 was to be the new owner, the Police Department launched an investigation; they have determined that Steve Vasel is indeed the uncle of the current owners. This is in direct violation of the agreement. In addition, the transfer was rx~t completed by November 1, 1991. Mr. Gareau has ratified the Attorney General's office of these violations; and, hopefully, steps will immediately be taken to hear this matter and close down the Star Lounge.
