THE MATTER OF THE SUSPENSION OF THE FOLLOWING LICENSE WAS LAID ON THE TABLE AT THE MEETING HELD JANUARY 9, 1991, AND IS AGAIN TAKEN UP:
CLASS D (First Class)
Dante Alighieri Social Club, 22 Hurley Avenue
COUNCILMAN KINDER ARRIVES AT SEVEN FORTY-THREE O’CLOCK PM.
THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES COUNCILMAN BARRY.
With majority consent of the Council, upon Motion made by Councilman Barry seconded by Councilmen Vieira and Robert Lynch, the following license is REVOKED on the following grounds, on a roll call vote, as follows:
Ayes - President Houle, Councilmen Barry, Calista, Doyle, Kinder, Robert Lynch, and Vieira.
Noes - 0.
Abstain - Councilman William Lynch
CLASS D (First Class)
Dante Alighieri Social Club, 22 Hurley Avenue
REVOKED ON THE FOLLOWING GROUNDS:
1. Despite ample time provided to the attorney for Mr. Vitali, he has failed to prove or even produce a shred of evidence that the establishment is being operated in accordance with the laws of Rhode Island governing the use of a Class “D” license.
2. That the actual ownership of the establishment is Mr. Albert Vitali, Sr., and a substitute name was used possibly to conceal from the Board of License Commissioners a criminal record.
3. There is a repeated record of mismanagement of the establishment which has caused a danger to the neighborhood in which the building is located. It is apparent through years of abuse that the actual owner or names provided the City Council are unable to maintain order in the neighborhood and are unable to properly operate any liquor establishment, but especially a Class “D”.
