Councilman Shelquist noted that a person in this position should be
bondable. He felt this should be part of the job description.
Mayor Johnson asked Council what title the postion should be given.
Councilman Shelquist suggested Accountant I. He said it allowed room for expansion
of the position. Administrator Achen agreed.

Mr. Hall is proposing a 24 lane alley running east and west, a bowler's bar
that will seat 150 people with a one, two or three piece band. The bar will
have iron gates that come down to close off the bar from the bowling alley
after 1 a.m. A gameroom will be next to the bar and will include three pool
tables, 4 foosball, 1 pinball machine and a cigarette vending machine.
Mayor Johnson asked if his 13 year old son would be able to go into the bowling
alley where liquor is served. Mr. Hall stated that he would be able to go into
the bowling alley but felt this area would have a different type of environment
than that of the regular bar or dance area.
Mr. Hall stated that the basement would operate the same as it is now. He
presently has lingerie shows during the lunch hour to attract business but hopes
to eliminate them altogether after the bowling establishment is in full operation.
Mayor Johnson asked about surface water drainage for the parking lot.
Mr. Hall stated that he had appeared before the Rice Creek Watershed District.
They requested a baffled dam on the south side of the parking lot between Co. Rd. H
and the existing paved surface to reduce the velocity of the water runoff.
Mr. Robert Carlson, 2189 Mississippi Circle asked if the Mermaid put salt or other
materials on the lot to melt ice and snow which may drain into Rice Creek.
Mr Hall stated they only plow. No salt or sand is used.
D'arcy Bosell, 2601 Ridge Lane, asked if 3.2 liquor could be served during the
day. She felt uncomfortable knowing liquor is being served with children around.
Councilman Shelquist asked if there would be waitresses in the bowling alley during
the day. Mr. Hall stated he would have waitresses taking orders from the lanes
but feels this is a better arrangement than having the bowler's bar open during
the day or having persons flowing between the alley and the main bar.
Mayor Johnson stated he would like to table the matter until the next meeting
when the rest of the Council members are present for their input and knowledge
on the subject.
