Two restaurants featur-
ing cuisines from around
the globe, each won liquor
licenses at the April 22
City Council meeting.
McBani, a Lebanese
restaurant at 409 Broad-
way, has been in Seaside
at this location since 2012.
Owner Randy McBoul
sought a limited on-rem-
ises sales license allow-
ing for the sale of malt
beverages, wine and cider
for consumption on the
premises.
Angelina’s Pizza and
Cafe at 1815 South Roo-
sevelt Drive sought to
obtain a full on-premises
commercial liquor license.
Elizabeth
Hall
of
Angelina’s said she was
responding to requests
from guests for wine and
specialty drinks.
With 20 employees, she
said the license was needed
for an additional revenue
stream to stay afl oat. She
said the restaurant will
keep the same hours, to 10
weekdays and 11 on Friday
and Saturdays.
While police due dil-
igence showed “conduct
issues” with some employ-
ees, Angelina’s record has
been “spotless” since the
restaurant opened serving
beer and wine last year,
Mayor Jay Barber said.
A March 8 incident
report cited Hall for failing
to put up barriers between
the outside service area
where alcohol is allowed
and the parking lot. Det.
Bill Barnes checked the
barriers on April 15, which
he said, while not fi nished,
“suffi ce as a barrier at this
time.”
While it should not be
considered a “repudiation”
of the police department,
Barber said, he and coun-
cilors Tom Horning, Tita
Montero, Randy Frank,
Seth Morrisey and Dana
Phillips voted to support
the license application.
Steve Wright voted against
issuance of the license.

Forest Grove man’s
death ruled accidental
Man sought for
questioning
By BRENNA VISSER
The Astorian
An autopsy from the
state medical examiner
determined Travis Todd,
the Forest Grove man
reportedly assaulted in
Seaside in March, died
from complications related
to intoxication.
On March 30, Seaside
police received a report
around 3 a.m. from wit-
nesses staying in a home
near the intersection of
Avenue K and S. Colum-
bia Street saying they saw
Todd have a loud conver-
sation and interaction with
another person.
The emergency call led
police to initially believe
a physical altercation had
taken place.
Todd was treated at the
scene for his injuries and
eventually taken to a Port-
land-area hospital, where
he died on
April 8.
T h e
autopsy
determined
the offi cial
cause
of
Travis Todd
death was
complica-
tions from acute intoxica-
tion that were accidental in
nature.
Detectives are still
looking for more informa-
tion about where Todd was
and who he was with one
to two hours after he left
local bars. Investigators
believe Todd was with a
white male that was wear-
ing dark, baggy clothing.
The possible witness is
believed to be in his late
20s to early 30s, approx-
imately 6-feet tall, with
a medium, athletic build.
As previously reported,
Todd may have been on
the beach or walking along
the Promenade prior to the
incident.
Anyone with informa-
tion is asked to call Seaside
police at 503-738-6311.
