application for both liquor licenses.Section 14 has been marked yes but no
answer has been given as is required.There are no required signed statements
for questions 15 through 20 that have been answered yes.As the applicant is

application.Council cannot ask if it was an oversight or if someone helped
her.She suggested they not move on the item.

recommend a conditional motion as he does not believe the board would
understand the conditions.

had also noticed the oversights on the applications.She asked to make a
motion when council was ready.
