SCOTT: I work for Oedipus, Inc., at 700 E. Spear, Denver, Colorado. APPLICANT ATTORNEY: How long have you been with Oedipus what is the function of Oedipus? SCOTT: A long time, twenty-seven years in January. We do opinion poll surveys, substantial number of literature on liquor licenses and 3.2% beer applications. APPLICANT ATTORNEY: Your company was hired in connection with this particular case? SCOTT: Yes. Applicant's attorney reviewed with Scott the results of the petition and the manner in which the petition was circulated and how his organization was compensated for their work. A contract letter is sent which guarantees a specified number of doors and completions, survey results are not guaranteed. A discount is given if paid up front or a substantial retainer since sometimes the survey does not come out well for the applicant. Ruby Tuesday has a policy of prepaying. The results of the survey do not have anything to do with Oedipus's compensation. Since the petition is to obtain the opinion of the neighborhood (City of Louisville) in terms of needs and desires, Oedipus takes any response. It is not necessary that someone sign the petition. They can verbalize anything they would like to and it will be recorded by gender and address. Since this neighborhood is larger then what Oedipus would normally do on a survey, Oedipus knocked on a substantially larger number of doors. Results of survey: 1,220 total door knocks 327 responses signatures supporting issuance: 271 signatures 2 verbalizations signatures opposing issuance: (not all people oppose for needs and desire reasons) 1 abhorrence of alcohol 1 religious objection 10 commercial usage objections APPLICANT ATTORNEY: This is 87% in favor. This survey result is 6-10% higher than normal, it is a very good survey result. The witness was excused.
