Council Minutes
3/20/67 Pg. 3
Mr. Gill said this proposed Policy had been written
sometime back and had been submitted to both Parks
and Recreatxon, and Planning Commissions for review.
As pointed out in the report, the Planning Commission
presented a few questions. This proposal follows the
Code, as well as ReSolution NO. 678.
Councilman Miller said it seems inconsistent with
Resolution No. 678 which calls for a public hearing
and the Policy says "Mayor with approval of Council".
Mr. Gill stated the Code takes precedent over the
Resolution and the Code states "by appointment", so
any deviation would require an amendment to the Code.
Councilman Miller stated he preferred an amendment to
the Code and conformation to Resolution No. 678.
After a discussion regarding the questions set forth
by the Planning Commission, the Council agreed on the
following:
1. Number of Commissioners to remain at seven.
2. Ex-officio, City employees, or legislative
members should not be eligible for appointments.
(Councilman Coco noted that the Code is permissible
in this.)
3. Resolution No. 678 covers procedure for appoint-
ments and they should be made by a full Council.
4. Vacancies shOUl~ be filled only after public
hearing and notice, and selection made from
list by Resolution.

this request stating that there apparently was a time
mix-up and he understood that Police had approved and
that the Fire Department had stated a list of required
corrections to be met before their final approval.
Mr. Dill said he had been at this location for four
years and in this business most of his life. Through
the years demands for entertainment had grown from just
drinks and conversation through couples dancing, vending
machines, pool, etc. Competition with Go Go entertainment
has taken their business° He then asked the indulgence
of the Council for granting the permit so that they could
move ahead with alterations and plans.

would like time to deliberate and assured him that it
was not being deferred for the sake of deferment alone.

Councilman Miller asked the City Attorney if there is
anything that applies to entertainment permits.
Mr. Rourke said that there is and that it requires the
approval of the City Council. Mr. Rourke stated that
he would think the Council would want to review the
situation. There has been a problem throughout the
County and as this is the first in the City, he thought
the Council would wantto give it careful consideration.
Mr. Gill informed the Council that the Attorney is
preparing a report and that he and the City Attorney
are conferring Thursday afternoon.
Mayor Mack stated that the City has a strict policy of
a Wednesday deadline for agenda information and all
'information must be furnished before the meeting. In
this case, the Council had received the information just
prior to the meeting and it is not their policy to react
immediately. Although time can affect some individuals,
Council action has a longer lasting effect than a two
week delay.

referred this to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Mr. Jack Hall spoke to the Council regarding a request
for de-annexation of a 10' strip of land in Tract 6082,
the remainder of which is in County territory.
Mr. Gill stated that the deadline for agenda items to
be considered by the Council was Wednesday and this did
not come before the staff until Friday.
Mr. Hall said it is not for the good of anyone not to
~o him and to be shut off is not fair.
Council Minutes
3/20/67 6
Mayor Mack stated that the Council had adopted a policy
to close agend'a items on the Wednesday before a meeting
and the Council is .more efficient if given an opportunity
to study all items.
Mr. Hall said the CounCil had recommended conditions
on the tentative tract map filed with the County by
a letter to the County Planning which requested that
10' parkways be maintained.
Mr. Gill corrected Mr. Hall, stating that the Planning
Commission, not the Council, had recommended 10' park-
ways in the area and this has not been before the Council.
Councilman Coco informed Mr. Hall that the City had not
approved or disapproved the Tract Map and he had a copy
of the letter of conditions of the Planning Commission
before him calling for the 10' parkways to be maintained
in the body of the tract, not on this 10' strip.
Mr. Gill stated that as this had not come to the City
until Friday, there had been no time to discuss it with
the Engineer until 4:00 tonight and a meeting has been
set with the Engineer and Director of Public Works for
discussion and recommendations to the Council.
Mr. Hall asked if it is the case that they cannot annex
this property for one year as it was a part of the 17th
and Holt Annexation.
Mr. Rourke stated that a portion of the annexation area
could be annexed as an uninhabited annexation if all
property owners in that portion requested annexation.
Councilman Klingelhofer said he hoped Mr. Hall under-
stood that the Councilmen do not have technical training
and could not be expected to make a decision without
study and recommendations of the Engineer and that this
· s in no way a political run-around.
Mr. Dill of Jim Dandy's asked the Council if they could
expect a decision on their request for an entertainment
permit by the next meeting.
Mayor Mack assured Mr. Dill that the Council would be
prepared to give an answer at the next meeting.
