Agenda of Februa.ty 24, 1977
Assistant o he City Mata.ger
Attached are the recommendations by the Expanded Committee for
Closing I -lours of Liquor F2stablishments. These recornmenda.tions,
according to advice from the Law Department, cannot be considered
final in that provision must be made for open public cornrnent on the
Committee's proposals before they can be submitted to the Commission
as Final Recommendations. I will work with Dr. Conrad Willard,
Chairman of the Expanded Committee, and the City Clerk to arrange
and publicize a final session of the Committee where general public
con -in -lent can be solicited and heard. After that session, 1 will ask
the Law Department to draft a proposed Ordinance reflecting the
Committee's final recommendations,
The February 24th Agenda item will involve simply the presentation
to the Commission of an '•intcr:rn' set of recommendations. The
Commission will then have an opportunity to clarify or add to its
previous charges to the Expanded Committee. It is important to
emphasize that NO action will be taken by the Commission at this
meeting, Only after a final, publicized meeting of the Expanded
Committee and after the resulting final recommendations wifl the
Commission be requested to consider taking official action. I ex-
pect that the next consideration of this subject by the Commission
will be on March 24 or the first meeting in April.

It Re: Second Report of E:tpanded Cottmittee
appointed by City Commission to study
aura of.Tcloai ►g of 1itquor establishments
Dear Mayor Ferre:
The expanded committee to re -study hours of clostttg of liquor
and beer establishments has completed its deliberations and
has assigned to me the duty of reporting ort its fittdittgs and
recotmtendatiottts. The committee consists of Dr. Conrad R.
Willard (chairman) , Tom Nesbitt, Rita Stone, Jades Stratos,
Lt. X. Harrison and the undersigned, in addition to Mrs. I,
Ricky Caminiti, Father John Edwards, David Pincher, Jerome
RoTinson," Al Sakolsky, and Luis Sabines .
Carrying out the will of the committee, I respectfully report
to you and Commissioners Gordon, Plummer, Gibson and Reboso
the following findings and recommendations:
1. There is attached hereto a chart entitled Hours
for Sale of Alcoholic Beverages Proposed by Mayor Ferrets
Committee (January of 1977)" which reflects the hours of
closing which we recommend.
2. Bearing in mind the guidelines given to us by
you and the commissioners, we have reconsidered that portion
of our July 7th report which is designated (b-2) in paragraph
3 on page 2. We now feel that there should be no limitations
on grocery stores outside the downtown zone; so that, we
recovmend the hours of sale of beer and wine in that category
to be: "While Store is Open". This applies seven days a
week.
3. We feel that we have achieved uniformity between
the various types of liquor establishments within the city,
as nearly as is feasible, by recommending that 2 A.M. be the
closing hour seven days a week for Beer end_TThne_Bars C.O.P.;
Liquor Bars C.O.P.; Restaurant, Liquor Beer and Vine C.O.P.;
Hotel, Motel, and Apartments; Private Clubs Liquor C.O.P, artd
Supper Clubs (being the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 9th
categories in Mr. Ferencik's chart). This involves an extra
hour for categories 2, 4, 5, and 6 on six days a week but
shortens the time in categories 7 and S by one hour. We
feel that this corrects ortct of the most troublesome areas
which has existed in the past, to -wit, the extra and un-
warranted time allowed to private clubs.
4, We feel that the hours for nightclubs should not
be disturbed but remain as presently legislated,
5, ether than as is specifically discussed herein.
