Manager said this wouJ.d apply I to renewals as well as new licenses. Hrs .Beal questioned whether the Ci ty would want the power to completely do aWflY wi th a licensed business. Mayor Anderson favored the legislation, saying the OLCC needs to be more cognizant of local governments' viewpoints. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Williams to support S.B.6. Councilman Williams said he would rather support legislation that would require OLCC to seriously consider recommendation from local governments rather than having local authori ty to a1x;)lish a li cense. . Mr. Williams lOOved seconded by Mrs. Beal to substitute a motion to instruct the Legislative Analyst to seek amendments to S.B.6 that would require OLCC to consider recommendations of local gove.mments in issuance of liquor licenses. The-original motion-was wit::hdrawn. ;Mayor Anderson questioned whether such an amendment would have substantial : effect upon the Liquor Commission. He fel t that local governments should have i some mechanism by which they could negate liquor licenses if they felt it in : the public interest. 'councilman Wood felt it might be a desirable authority for this City but wondered about the result in smaller communities. Mrs. Beal said it was her . understanding that under the law there, is no way the Liquor Commission can take into consideration recommendations from local governments on issuance of licenses. Licenses are granted if they meet criteria unless violations to those criteria can be proven in court. : Councilman Williams said if the City does have a guaranteed right of denial of liquor licenses a detailed set of standards will be necessary by which to evaluate applications. Otherwise, he said, basis of decisions on issuance of licenses would become a matter of lOOral judgment. .Councilman Hershner favored the requirement for Commission consideration of local recommendat:J.ons. If they are still ignored after a trial period, then . perhaps more control at the local level would be desirable. Mayor Anderson repeated his argument in support of the bill, He said the procedures followed now are needless and the bill would strengthen the cities' role. Councilwoman Campbell wondered whether the affidavit recently requested by the Human Rights Commission as a condi elon of Obtaining favorable Counc.il, recom- mendation on a liquor license would be necessary if S.B.6 were adopted. Vote was taken on the "'substitute motion as stated. Motion carried, all present voting aye, except Councilman Murray voting no. ,1 3/12(73 - 4 Approve Comm 2/28/73 Approve - . '. Comm 2/28/73 Approve
