the owner of several pieces of property in this immediate

the store is too small for this type of business .

eh." done in this neighborhood and the improvements that have been

The Committee set a hearing on January 6, 1988, at 12:00 noon for the subject matter.
Discussion of the Application for a Liquor License of Eagle Food Stores
Ron Beaver, District Manager of Eagle Food Stores, stated that the Eagle Food Stores
has had a change of ownership. He felt that since Lucky Stores remained a partial
owner, the $10,000 application fee per store pursuant to Ordinance No. G60-84 should be
waived.
Attorney Blondin stated that the Liquor Commission cannot ignore the ordinance by
waiving the fee.
The attorney for Eagle Food Stores may contact Dan Blondin regarding the liquor ordi-
nance.
This item may be discussed at the next Liquor Commission meeting.
Discussion Relative to Proposed Changes to the Municipal Liquor Code
Requirements for Licensing and Renewal
Board Member Popple expressed concern regarding the regulation of the health of
employees and sanitary conditions of liquor establishments.
Bob Eaton of the Redwood Inn stated that the Bureau of Inspection Services inspects his
premises regularly.
Attorney Blondin stated that health violations are prosecuted under the municipal code.
Board Member Popple requested that the health provisions be included as part of the
alcoholic liquor dealers ordinance.
Board Member Popple made a motion, seconded by Board Member Gilliam, to add a
clause to the alcoholic liquor dealers ordinance to include health of employees and
sanitary conditions. Yeas: Board Member Gilliam, Popple and Board President
VanDeVoorde. Nays: None.
Licensing of Employees
elk Board Member Popple stated that she was approached by a liquor licensee who hired an
employee who was a member of a gang. The licensee felt that if there was a police
check on applicants for bartenders, the license holder would be aware of potential
problems.
Attorney Blondin stated that the process of fingerprinting used to be in effect, however
fingerprinting results take a substantial period of time.
Attorney Kevin McCarty said that the license holders would assist the city in background
checks.
Board President VanDeVoorde made a motion, seconded by Board Member Popple, that
the Commission recommend that the Council consider the Bassett program for
licensing. Yeas: Board Member Gilliam, Popple and Board President VanDeVoorde.
Nays: None.
Location of Liquor Establishments
Board Member Popple does not want to change what has happened in the past regarding
the location of liquor establishments, however new licensees should not be permitted to
locate within 150 feet of a residential area. Insufficient parking is also a problem with
certain liquor establishments.
Attorney Blondin reported that the zoning ordinance requires adequate parking in order
to operate a liquor business. Many older businesses were established prior to the parking
lot requirement.
The Commission determined to take no action regarding limiting the location of licensed
establishments.
Police Calls at Liquor Establishments
Board President VanDeVoorde recommended a denial of the renewal of a liquor license to
establishments incurring an inordinate number of police calls.
Attorney Blondin requested the ordinance require license holders to cooperate with
police during investigations of incidents at their establishments.
Board Member Popple made a motion, seconded by Board President VanDeVoorde, that
continued police problems at liquor establishments be cause for consideration of the
suspension, revocation or non-renewal of liquor licenses and also to require the coopera-
tion of the license holder and employees with the police department during investiga-
tions.
Attorney McCarty stated that a licensee may not call police for fear it will go on the
establishment's "permanent record". He recommended that the motion refer only to
fe Ion ies.
Yeas: Board Member Popple. Nays: Board Member Gilliam and Board President
VanDeVoorde.
Notification of Change of Ownership of Liquor Establishments
Attorney Blond in recommended that liquor licensees notify the Commission of changes in
ownership within 60 days.
Board Member Popple made a motion, seconded by Board Member Gilliam. Yeas: Board
Member Gilliam, Popple and Board President VanDeVoorde. Nays: None.
eink
Class AA Liquor Licenses
Attorney Blondin recommended that the principle business of Class AA license holders
should be for consumption on the premises so licensees cannot circumvent the $10,000
requirement of a Class B license.
Board Member Popple felt that is not enough distinction between the different licenses
and suggested a review of all license classifications.
Board President VanDeVoorde believes the system of license classifications is
acceptable.
The Commission determined to take no action regarding this recommendation.
Visibility of Interior of Licensed Premises
Attorney Blondin stated that visibility of interiors is a part of the ordinance. Enforce-
ment may be an issue.
Summary
Attorney Blondin will provide the Commission with additional information regarding
serious and repeated violations at liquor establishments, changes in ownership and the
adoption of an ordinance dealing with sanitary conditions of employees and establish-
(.11 ments.

Attorney Blondin advised the Commission he had reviewed
the statutes relative to this establishment and the Learning
