This request inclndes aU adult entertainment, dance haU and Sunday sales licenses. Districts 1 through 8. Super Districts 9 & 10. Mr. Walker: These licensees have met all requirements and have been approved - by the L&I Dept., and the Sheriff's Dept. Also, all restaurants meet the requirements for Sunday sales. Any taxes, business license, excise taxes or water bills owed the city by any licensee will not be sold a license until those are satisfied. Associate Pastor, Curtis Baptist Church: We have received numerous letters concerning the establishments at the lower end of Broad Street. These letters have pointed out the dangers that people seem to be attracted to come to the lower end of Broad Street. They concluded that drinking in both establishments is indeed a danger to the people of Broad Street. I agree that that danger does exist. However, I believe that there is an additional'danger and that is the development of business in the Broad Street downtown area. Much has been said recently concerning the development of a family atmosphere in the downtown Augusta business section. We at Curtis Baptist appreciate and support that sort of adventure. We desire to have a downtown Augusta that is family friendly, a place that our city can point to with pride. Then I believe that the city should deny the license to these establishments that continue as they are now and. not family friendly should be denied. Mr. Kuhlke: I move approval, Mr. Chairman.
