Discussion by council generally agreed liquor establishments should be excluded from the hours of operation restriction. Attorney Rautenstraus stated a change could be made in the ordinance which would require an arcade to be closed between midnight and 8 :00 A.M. - liquor licensed outlets would be excluded from that requirement . Councilwoman Morris Referred to section 8 .48. 030 Term of the License and inquired if an owner went into business in November, would he be required to pay the full license fee. Attorney Rautenstraus advised they would, and council would be able to assess whether there had been violations or problems at the location. Councilwoman Morris Referred to section 8. 100 Applicable Codes, "arcades shall be brightly illuminated at all times of operation so that all patrons are easily recognizable" had difficulty understanding why it was necessary for all patrons to be recognizable and why this should be included. Attorney Rautenstraus advised to enable the manager and law enforcement people to see the activities taking place in the establishment . CAROL KELLY - PART OWNER Carol Kelly stated she and her husband were PINBALL WIZARD part owners of the Pinball Wizard Arcade on South Boulder Road in the Village Square Shopping Center.and planned to move to Louisville from Arvada. They encourage the parents to come into their establishment with their children and enjoy the games as a family. Beer or drugs are not allowed in their establishment . They felt the $100. 00 per machine license fee was excessive for the size of Louisville, as they did not realize $20,000. 00 a year from a machine. The establishment has 19 machines .
