Hundley stated that staff will certainly take a <br />look at the Mayor's request, but has concern as to <br />whether, from a legal standpoint, that can serve as <br />a basis for denial of a liquor license. If it can <br />not, Hundley questions whether it would be worth <br />the time and effort to evaluate the economic <br />factors. <br />Rautenstraus concurred and suggested that staff <br />prepare a memo on criteria appropriate to review <br />and have it available before the next meeting. <br />Then if there were additional information that <br />Council would want: to request of the applicant, or <br />from staff, there would be ample time to achieve <br />this. <br />Mayor Meier asked that the memo be prepared as <br />Rautenstraus suggested. <br />Luce commented that he is not sure that it is <br />appropriate for local government to try to dictate <br />something that should be decided in the <br />marketplace - that. is whether or not it is <br />feasible for a business to come into a community <br />and compete with other business.

Wanush stated that most items on the <br />6 <br />
