<br />12/20/83 <br /> <br />Page -2- <br /> <br />Attorney Rautenstraus <br /> <br />Advised that council has the right to approve <br />the renewal; if council were going to con- <br />sider not renewing the license he would ad- <br />vise that a public hearing be held to make <br />a determination. The renewal could be ap- <br />proved by other action such as contacting <br />the establishment and putting them on notice <br />that any future violations of these problems <br />would be cause for future suspension of their <br />license. Another option would be that <br />council renew the license and request the <br />owner to be at the next council meeting to <br />discuss this with him and advising him that <br />continued violations would lead to suspension <br />or non-renewal next year. <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br />Councilman Cussen requested that a letter <br />be sent to the owners of council's concerns. <br />He felt that there were a number of fights <br />that had occured at the establishment and <br />saw this as a concern located near the down- <br />town area. The attitude of the owners seems <br />to be noncaring or they would notify the <br />Police Dept. of these incidents. Cussen <br />then inquired if the license could be approved <br />for a specific time conti gent upon a public <br />hearing. <br />Rautenstraus advised that the license could <br />be renewed for a shorter period of time based <br />upon a public hearing. He would review the <br />specific time the notice should be given be- <br />fore a public hearing could be held; felt <br />that 2 weeks would be sufficient. <br /> <br />Director Leesman <br /> <br />Advised that the violations were on ordinance <br />for failure to notify them. They had had <br />numerous calls on disturbances, fights, few <br />thefts. Some of them it was difficult to <br />determine what the nature of the disturbance <br />was because of the inability of officers to <br />see what had occured by the time the officers <br />get there. Had reported incidents where <br />they wished parties ejected because of intoxi- <br />cation. Leesman felt there were some cir- <br />cumstances where the establishment was not <br />at fault - two people happened to meet there <br />who had a disagreement and the establishment <br />was not at fault. Sometimes when the officers <br />arrive the parties had left and they don't <br />wish to offer any information as to why the <br />police were called or what had happened. <br />
