Motion adopted unanimously. 25. Receive a recommendation from the Sheriff's Department and License & Inspections Dept. regarding a resolution to increase penalties and suspensions for alcohol sales to minors. (Referred from June 9 Public Services) I Mr. Sherman: We did some research and found that other cities have in their code that the governing authority has the option of revoking the license, suspending the license or placing them on probation. Commissioner Hankerson has asked that we amend our current policies such that the first offense within a two-year period would be to suspend the license for no less than 30 consecutive days along with additional probation or penalties imposed. The second offense within a two-year period was to suspend the license for 60 consecutive days along with any additional penalties and the third offense was automatic revocation of the license. Currently we have a one-year probation for the first offense, second offense is one month's suspension, the third offense is one year suspension and the fourth offense is revocation. After some discussion, we reco=end basically leaving Mr. Hankerson's reco=endation the way it was. The only thing we added was that for the first offense that it would be one year probation and zero to thirty days suspension as well as any other penalties that may be imposed. Mr. Hankerson: I would support some type of suspension on the first offense. Mr. Kuhlke: I'd like to make a motion that we implement Alternative 1 such that the first offense suspends the alcohol license for no less than 30 days, the second one suspends it for no less than 60 and the third is automatic revocation. Mr. Colclough: Second. The Chairman expressed his concerns about the use of some discretion in cases involving a first offense. After a discussion, Mr. Kuhlke: I do have some concerns about the action for the first offense and I'm wondering ifmy motion were amended that there was some mechanism whereby somebody that was charged would have an appeal process. You may have a case where someone was wrongly charged. I Motion adopted unanimously. 3 Addendum Item 1. Discussion of Savannah Place Park renovations. Mr. Williams: I wanted to get some information about where we are on this. I Ms. Sarns: There will be a bid opening on August 19 on this. Mr. Williams: I'd like to have some information on the figures on that next week when we meet. After further discussion, Mr. Cheek: Have we seen anything on the Diamond Lakes project? Ms. Sams: I haven't seen anything on that to my knowledge. Mr. Kuhlke: I make a motion that the Administrator furnish this co=ittee Monday the figures that you talked about and in addition to that, I think it would be good for Tom Beck to give this committee a report on how the bids are being requested because we had a base bid plus an alternate and we need to know what that is. Mr. Colclough: I'll second it. Mr. Cheek: Can we add to that request for information on the Diamond Lakes project as well? Mr. Kuhlke: Yes, I'll add that to it. I Motion adopted unanimously. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Lena J. Bonner Clerk of Commission nwm I 4 I PUBLIC SERVICES AGENDA COMMITTEE ROOM - b::6, 2003 9:30 A. M. 1.
