“We’re handling this the best we can,” captain Matt Christensen said. “They can be open as long as they don’t serve alcohol. Our officers make a very conscious effort to get us through there to make sure they comply with the rules of being legal.

Board member Rob Nelson said, “So you said they are having a concert, is this concert happening at like three in the morning?” he asked.

“Yes, inside the bar,” replied Captain Christensen.
