Page 4 <br />April 14, 1975 <br />Councilman Shelquist noted that a person in this position should be <br />bondable. He felt this should be part of the job description. <br />Mayor Johnson asked Council what title the postion should be given. <br />Councilman Shelquist suggested Accountant I. He said it allowed room for expansion <br />of the position. Administrator Achen agreed. <br />MSP (Johnson - Shelquist) to authorize the new staff position with the title <br />Accountant I as described in the job description, to advertise for recruit- <br />ment and to set a salary in the area of $900 with some flexibility. <br />Mr. Charles Hall, owner of the <br />bowling establishment proposal. <br />areas since he has managed it. <br />outdoor lighting, improved the <br />and dining rooms, and he feels <br />since he purchased this establ <br />3 Ayes <br />Mermaid Lounge appeared before Council with his <br />He feels he has improved the mermaid in several <br />He has provided more paved parking space, more <br />landscaping, completely remodeled the basement <br />the quality of management has improved greatly <br />ishment. <br />Mr. Hall is proposing a 24 lane alley running east and west, a bowler's bar <br />that will seat 150 people with a one, two or three piece band. The bar will <br />have iron gates that come down to close off the bar from the bowling alley <br />after 1 a.m. A gameroom will be next to the bar and will include three pool <br />tables, 4 foosball, 1 pinball machine and a cigarette vending machine. <br />Mayor Johnson asked if his 13 year old son would be able to go into the bowling <br />alley where liquor is served. Mr. Hall stated that he would be able to go into <br />the bowling alley but felt this area would have a different type of environment <br />than that of the regular bar or dance area. <br />Mr. Hall stated that the basement would operate the same as it is now. He <br />presently has lingerie shows during the lunch hour to attract business but hopes <br />to eliminate them altogether after the bowling establishment is in full operation. <br />Mayor Johnson asked about surface water drainage for the parking lot. <br />Mr. Hall stated that he had appeared before the Rice Creek Watershed District. <br />They requested a baffled dam on the south side of the parking lot between Co. Rd. H <br />and the existing paved surface to reduce the velocity of the water runoff. <br />Mr. Robert Carlson, 2189 Mississippi Circle asked if the Mermaid put salt or other <br />materials on the lot to melt ice and snow which may drain into Rice Creek. <br />Mr Hall stated they only plow. No salt or sand is used. <br />D'arcy Bosell, 2601 Ridge Lane, asked if 3.2 liquor could be served during the <br />day. She felt uncomfortable knowing liquor is being served with children around. <br />Councilman Shelquist asked if there would be waitresses in the bowling alley during <br />the day. Mr. Hall stated he would have waitresses taking orders from the lanes <br />but feels this is a better arrangement than having the bowler's bar open during <br />the day or having persons flowing between the alley and the main bar. <br />Mayor Johnson stated he would like to table the matter until the next meeting <br />when the rest of the Council members are present for their input and knowledge <br />on the subject. <br />
