Visions Revocation Hearing this Tuesday - 9/20/2019

***As a reminder, I will be out of the office with no access to phone or email from Saturday, September 21 through Monday, September 30th. Please contact the Common Council office at 608.266.4071 for any urgent needs.***

On Tuesday, September 24th, at 5:30pm in Room 206 of the Madison Municipal Building (215 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.), there will be a Special ALRC Subcommittee Meeting to conduct an evidentiary hearing on revocation action for Visions Nightclub. You can read my last update on this issue here.

The complaint filed by our City Attorney's office states that Visions has 'continued to violate various provisions of Chapter 38 MGO' including: A. Expanding or Changing the Licensed Premises without Common Council Approval; B. No Licensed Operator on Premises; C. Illegally Procuring Alcohol Beverages; and D. Keeps or Maintains a Disorderly or Riotous, Indecent or Improper House.

I have heard from a number of you sharing strong concerns about Visions' continued operations and sharing your testimony as part of the revocation hearing is critical if you want this information to be considered. I will not be in attendance at this meeting, but will testify at the subsequent meeting.

Assistant Attorney Zilavy is looking to get a sense of how many residents intend to come to Tuesday's meeting. If you are planning on attending Tuesday's meeting, please contact her by phone at 608-266-4511 or by email at JZilavy@cityofmadison.com so she has a sense of how many people to expect.
