Community Development Director Gladhill noted that a letter was sent to the applicant to the address on the license application. He noted that perhaps that letter was not yet received by the applicant. Mr. Cho stated that his client filled out one application for the business and one for personal. He stated that on the business application stated to list previous business involvement within the past five years, which the applicant listed two locations. He noted that on the personal application she listed several other locations where she had worked, so combining the two lists would equate her experience. He submitted a letter from the owner of a massage establishment in White Bear Lake stating that she never worked at that location. He explained that she did obtain a license in White Bear Lake when she was going to accept a job but did not accept the position. He noted that there was another location in Oklahoma where she had worked but could not remember the name. He stated that the incomplete application was not intentional and asked that perhaps more time be given to allow additional discussion. Councilmember Musgrove asked if there is a process to withdraw the license. City Administrator Ulrich noted that this could be tabled to allow Police Chief Katers to follow up on the information provided tonight. Councilmember Heinrich asked if Police Chief Katers could state if the current application and the establishments linked to the omitted information were linked to criminal activity. Police Chief Katers stated that he could not say if there was a link to establishments. He could only state that he found additional information in his search that was omitted from the applicant. He stated that his recommendation would stand at denial because of the information in the background check and the information submitted. Councilmember Riley asked if the applicant could reapply in the future if this is denied tonight. Police Chief Katers stated that there is not a preclusion that the applicant could not reapply.
