filed by Double Happy, Inc., the City Council is acting in a quasi- judicial capacity as the Local Licensing Authority under state law. The Authority's decision must be based on the evidence presented to it at the hearing tonight and the legal requirements set out in State laws. Under State law you must consider the character of the applicant, the reasonable requirements ofthe neighborhood for this type of license, the desires of the adult inhabitants of the neighborhood, and the number, type, and availability of other similar outlets in the neighborhood. Philip Long, Attorney with Schey & Schey, Longmont, Colorado, representing the applicant, stated that the reason why the application was untimely filed was that it appeared the renewal was sent to an accountant, who was named as their agent, and was caught in a paper shuffle. He submitted petitions to the City Clerk and Council containing approximately 200+ signatures seeking the issuance of the license. He stated that at the time the petitions were gathered, there was also an opportunity for people to sign a petition in opposition. To his knowledge, no one signed in opposition. He stated that the character and experience of the applicant is clear and they have been in business since 1984. Davidson asked if anyone in the audience had any questions of the applicant. NONE Davidson asked if any members of the Authority had any questions of the applicant. NONE Long requested that Double Happy receive an extension of their temporary license, until their regular license arrives, if approved. Griffiths: It's my understanding from contact with the State Department of Revenue that, if the Local Licensing Authority approves the license this evening, there should be no problem in continuing your operation. Davidson called for anyone in the audience wishing to speak in favor of the application. NONE Davidson called for anyone in the audience wishing to speak in opposition to the application.
