Kurt Robinson, 607 NE County Road 10, Blaine, stated he is an attorney representing Mr.
Mohamed Shambolia, owner/proprietor of Mr. BBQ, 2101 Freeway Boulevard, who has applied
for a renewal liquor license for his establishment. He added that his client has received
correspondence from the City Clerk that his application has been recommended for denial for
reasons that appear to be without merit. He noted that his client is requesting a hearing on the
application if it is denied, but he is unsure of the process and has not had a chance to review the
City ordinance.
12/09/13 -1-
Mayor Willson stated the informal open forum is generally not used for public hearing purposes.
He added the application, which was discussed during the City Council's study session, is
incomplete as there is an issue of delinquent taxes and City utility fees. He noted this is clearly
spelled out in the license ordinance, and consideration of this application will not occur at
tonight's meeting.
Mr. Shambolia stated he has been dealing with the City Clerk for the past few months, and he
understood that overdue taxes are the only outstanding issue, and he has arranged a payment plan
with the County.
Mayor Willson stated the application will not be considered until the outstanding taxes and fees
are paid in full. He advised Mr. Robinson to discuss the process with his client with regard to
this application and the City ordinance pertaining to licenses.
Mr. LeFevere confirmed Mayor Willson's assessment and added that the City Council has the
jurisdiction to interpret the ordinance as they see fit. He added, in his legal opinion, having a
plan to pay taxes is not the same as having paid taxes.
Mayor Willson recessed the Informal Open Forum at 7:00 p.m.

major gift from Luther Company, LLLP guarantees the construction of the Civic and Veterans
Centennial Amphitheater, a project that will honor the community's past 100 years, and will be
projected to honor the next 100 years.
Dr. Orn stated the fundraising task force has worked diligently since February 27, 2012, and has
now reached the monetary goal without the use of any taxpayer money. He added the
amphitheater will be a venue for the culturally diverse community and a memorial to all who
have contributed to making the City and the country a great place to live. He noted his support
of an expression of the City Council's profound thanks and gratitude for the generous

appreciation to Luther Company, LLLP for its contribution. Mayor Willson read the resolution
in its entirety.
