This transcript details a liquor license application hearing held by the City of St. Louis, Missouri, on August 20, 2026.

Several signatures were found invalid or withdrawn, leading the city to request dismissal of the application. The applicant contested these findings, presenting evidence including notarized deeds to support the authenticity of the signatures. The hearing officer admitted exhibits from both parties and set a deadline for additional submissions.
