stated that the hearing had not proven that the persons present at the

business; and asked that instead, a stern warning be issued.
Robert Angles, 9147 Valley Blvd., stated that he had not been
notified of the administrative hearing that was held in regard to this
item.
Councilman Taylor requested the following remarks be entered
verbatim:
"Madam Mayor. I'm in favor of the suspension but I'm also have
another suggestion I would like to make that we bring the hours of
operation into conformity with the same business, one block away,
that we just approved earlier and when there are businesses in the
City that are operating under the same guidelines and such I
believe that they should have the same hours of operation as far
as the Sheriff's are in this parking lot at 3:00 a.m. in the
CC 4-28-92
Page #6
Mr. Taylor continues: morning or for the next business one block
away they should be in the parking lot at 2:00 a.m. and there was
a proposal that some of these businesses may want to go to 24
hours a day for operation so we don't have any consistent hours of
operation. Most of the bars in the City have to close at 2:00
a.m. and I think that it's a real injustice to arbitrarily pick a
business out and it brings back to the very question of well how
does that Council rationalize that one business gets preferential
hours against the next business down the street that gets
different hours. I think it's a real disservice that we are not
consistent and keep regular hours for all of these businesses that
are doing the same type of business. It's just a discredit to us
and the Sheriff's Department to have to keep a book you might say
well what hours is this business allowed to be open or closed.
I'd like to make an amendment to this that these hours changed to
the same hours that we have for the other businesses in the City
of this nature.
Councilman McDonald noted that the issue of the hour of closing
would be determined when the ordinance is adopted after the
moratorium.
Mayor-Pro Tem Bruesch reminded all present that the Council had
stressed over and over again the importance of the 3 a.m. closure,
that everyone would be out the building by that hour, and that this
was the reason that the operation had been allowed a 3 a.m. closure.
MOTION BY COUNCILMAN McDONALD, SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM BRUESCH
that the Council suspend the Entertainment Permit for a period of 15

resulted:

No: None
Absent: None
