XI. MAYOR/ADMINISTRATOR REPORTS AND COMMENTS
A. Mayor Leitz reported that he, Police Chief Smith, Liquor Board Agents
and Octavio Vargas met to discuss the Liquor License Application made by Mr. Vargas. It
was determined that what the Mayor was objecting to was probably two different things,
problems with liquor and problems with dancing. The Liquor Board did not think the
location was the problem for the liquor and that if there were problems in the past it was
the operator not the location. A proposed ordinance to regulate the dancing related
problems was discussed. Changes to the Code will create a section providing for sufficient
security. City Attorney Whitaker will also add increased fees to the code for consideration
at the next meeting.
B. City Attorney Whitaker reported that USA Media had contacted him to
let him know that they probably would not be renewing their franchise with the City due
to the lack of accounts and the increased cost of the fee. He said that since the City had
not heard from them we need to contact them and let them know their franchise has
expired and if they were not renewing they need to stop using our right of ways and to
remove their infrastructure.
