In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a significant violation involving a local establishment, \"The Place to Be,\" operated by P2B Springfield, LLC. On September 26, two detectives were dispatched to investigate allegations of illegal alcohol sales at the venue, which was found to be operating without a valid liquor license or a required certificate of inspection.

During their visit, the detectives ordered alcoholic beverages and confirmed that other patrons were also being served drinks. The establishment provided itemized receipts and photographic evidence of the alcohol being served. Following this, the detectives spoke with the manager, identified as Mr. Arch, who was informed of the violations, including a cease and desist order issued by the building department on August 30.

The Breeze Department has recommended that the establishment face charges for three counts of selling and displaying alcohol without a license, operating without the necessary inspection certificate, and having a manager not present on-site during the violations. A motion was made for a pre-hearing conference, which is scheduled for the next meeting on October 23.

In a related discussion, a government relations consultant for the establishment sought clarification on whether they could continue serving alcohol until the hearing. Officials confirmed that the establishment must cease alcohol service by 8 PM each night until the matter is resolved. The meeting concluded with no further business, and a motion to adjourn was passed.
