MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 9, 2017 seems like every night would be an entertainment night in this case, and he does not know how to differentiate the nights. Keis asked if the entertainment license would address this. The City Administrator stated that the entertainment license language as written, does not distinguish the nights as intended. The City Attorney stated that in this case, we are dealing with the numbers of people that distinguishes the difference in nights. Mr. Duray stated there are less than 100 customers on Sundays through Thursdays, and 250 customers on Fridays and Saturdays. He explained that he is just asking to not have to wand and bag search on Sundays through Thursdays. Montour stated that he does not want to have to answer why the City did not require wanding on a Wednesday after a customer came in and shot someone. He asked if the process could just be streamlined for the slower nights. Mr. Duray stated there are three security officers working Sunday through Thursday, and at least 12 on weekends. The City Administrator stated that the Council could agree on the conditions for the weekends and can further discuss the rest of the week days. He stated that a provision could be added to the conditions stating that the Council will further discuss the Sunday through Thursday nights, and there were some other things to modify. In regard to the provision dealing with noise from the deck area, Mr. Duray stated he can leave the Plexiglas up on the upper deck all year round to help cut down on noise for the neighborhood. The City Administrator stated that the conditions in the agreement are for Friday and Saturday nights, and the rest of the week nights will be determined. Mr. Duray stated that the Building Official is determining the load capacity and he would like the new numbers put in to the agreement. The City Administrator explained that the new numbers may be slightly higher, but the Council should realize that these capacity numbers typically mean that the crowd is almost shoulder to shoulder, so the numbers should be left as is in the agreement and possibly revisit it down the road. Keis stated that he is uncomfortable with changing the numbers now. Mr. Duray stated that he now has Ramsey County Sheriff Deputies patrolling on Friday and Saturday nights from 11:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m., and it is working well even though it is a big expense for them. Keis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION 2017-8-134 —APPROVING THE CONDITIONS AS MODIFIED FOR THE HO GGSBREA TH LIQUOR LICENSE The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Montour.
