LA RUOTA RISTORANTE
A public hearing was held at 9:45 a.m. on the application received from
Salvatore Evola, President, Mab Finch, Associate, both of Earleville,

La Ruota Ristorante, LLC, at 323 High Street, Chestertown, for an upgrade
from a Beer and Wine License to a Beer, Wine and Liquor License, Class
B (on sale).
Mr. Stetson stated that he had no objections to the application, and added
that Ms. Finch, Salvatore Evola, and many of the employees of La Ruota
have attended the alcohol awareness classes. He also reported that the
licensees of La Ruota have requested a bulk transfer from individual to
corporate ownership.
Ms. Finch stated that the purpose for the upgrade represented the licensees'
interest in offering an additional service to its customers, and that
the licensees have no interest in providing bar service and have no intention
to change their current business hours.
There was no one present to speak for or against this application.
A motion was made by Commissioner Livie, seconded by Commissioner Pickrum,
and passed by the majority of the Board to approve the application. This
hearing was taped for reference and adjourned at 9:55 a.m.
