of the application, the boundary setting and final hearing.
Exception - if the applicant and his Attorney are from
out-of-town, they need not be present at the time the
application is accepted for consideration. However, they
do need to be present when boundaries are established.
2) Renewal applications - if there have been problems at
an establishment during the term of the last license,
the applicant should be present. If there have been
none, the licensee need not be present.
