4/20/82 Page ~4- Mayor Meier asked if there was anyone present supporting the application. DR. DALE MARCOTTE Represented the Boulder Valley Pow Wow and stated their organization felt the needs of the neighborhood were not being met for a 3.2% beer license on the premises. During the rodeos and other functions, they felt beer should be available and a per- manent license would better serve their needs than several special events appli- cations. He assured Council no beer will be sold vl7hen the events involve minors and children, i.e. Little Britches Rodeo. Their organization would appreciate Council's consideration of a permanent 3.2% beer license. Mayor Meier asked for staff presentation - none. Anyone present in opposition to the applicant. None. ,Juncil Comments Councilman Fauson Remarked he had expressed concern about 3.2% beer being served during the Little Britches Rodeo when the application was first submitted. It was his opinion Council would have control over this type of situ- ation if the Pow Wow organization did not police the premises as promised, their renewal license for the following year could be denied. He appreciated Dr. Mar- cotte's statement that liquor would not be served during juvenile events. Mayor Meier Advised that at any time, if Council feels that a liquor license is being abused by any owner, it is your prerogative to call them and hold a public hearing and their license can be revoked at that time. Councilman Leary Expressed the same concern as Councilman Fauson, but had a second concern. It was his feeling this was not a good precedent to set to grant a liquor license on open space. He had no objections to granting them for special events, but opposed the permanent 3.2% beer license on open space, as it is not an appropriate use.
