LaMars, 795 Willamette ~ Renewal of DA license was requested by Bud Nixon and 0 I \ Larry Sharley to permit retention of the existing license until completion of \ purchase of LaMars by Mr. Nixon. Purchase is contingent upon settlement of I 'J law suit involving OLeC suspension of the license. Staff recommended refusal i of the renewal. \ ! Mr. Wood moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to recommend disapproval of : . license renewal. i i Councilman Williams was concerned about taking action on a matter involved in ~ a judicial process, more or less making a negative decision before any deci- I sion was made in the courts. Mr. Wood said his motion was not based on whether i \ the applicant was guilty or not guilty, rather on the consideration that action i I was requested. Councilman Murray asked for elaboration of reasons for recom- ! mending denial. Manager explained revocation of LaMars license by the Oregon Liquor Control 411 Commission was based upon a number of violations of liquor laws. That revoca- '" I tion was being appealed and revocation of the license suspended until the I case was settled. He noted counts for violation of municipal ordinances pending\ i in municipal court and general knowledge of the type of operation at that loca- i I tion over the last year or so. Manager pointed out that the flexibility of ; i thE' Council's recommenda tions was such tha t if the Counci 1 fel tit was not a ; , desirable operation in the community it had the right to recommend that the ! license not be renewed. He said a case ~ould be made for violation of State raws - if it was not well operated or managed, if it might be an attraction ; '. fbr law violators, if it was unclean, etc. Councilman Wood referred to viola- ! tions listed by the OLCC 011 Mr. Nixon's operation of the former Golden Canary : tavern and said that included several instances of employes' serving minors. '\ i Mr. Murray said he found it difficult to evaluate a list of violations unless I , ; there was some comparison to determine whether violations were "run of the mill" ; ! for taverns or were extraordinary offenses. 1 : Councilman Keller felt court action would take care of the matter of its Own ! accord. He was uncomfortable taking action with the law suit pending. Council- i man McDonald was in favor of recommending discontinuance of the l.icense, rely- : ing upon staff's recommendation. I _ i Councilwoman Campbell wondered when settlement of the law suit would occur."" Manager answered that it was probably anticipated that if transfer of the LaMars operation to Mr. Nixon did occur the suit would be dropped. 7/8/74 - 8 ,~ j
