The committee consists of Tom Nesbitt, Rita Stone, James Stratos, Lt. K. Harrison, David D. Phillips, firs. I. Ricky Caminiti, Father John Edwards, David Fincher, Jerome Robinson, Al Sakolsky, Luis Sabines, and Dr. Conrad R. Willard, Chairman. 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 ''i-Iours for Sale of Alcoholic Beverages Proposed by Mayor Ferre's Committee (April 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 7, 1976 report which is designated (b-2) in para- graph 3 on page 2. We now feel that there should be no limitations on grocery stores outside the downtown zone. We therefore recommend 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 7 AM be the opening hour and 3 AM be the closing hour six days a week (with noon to 3 AM being the Sunday hours) for: Beer & Wine Bars C.O.P. Liquor Bars C.O.P. Hotel, Motel & Apartments Private Clubs Liquor C.O.P. Night Clubs Supper Clubs these being the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th cate- gories on Mr. Ferencik's chart and constituting all of the Consumption on Premises (C.O.P.) establishments. 4, Other than as is specifically discussed herein, we re -assert the matters set forth in our July 7, 1976 report, particularly as regards the differentiation between the down- town zone and the rest of the city as regards grocery stores and convenience stores selling beer and wine, 5, It is obvious that no solution will suit every. :one, We have considered all of the factors which we feel are involved, such as (but not limited to) •a distinction between liquor establ.i.; htnents in residential areas on the one hand and those in the non-residential areas on the oche °, However, t`he factor tO ,Which we have given the most weight it balancing the equities between all patties (it ciud tg the public, the ponce, atd the industry) .is the desire for unifortiiity. The above recothmettdatiors (including those ot, the attached chart) have been approved by a19ajo ity of ' the tot thittee members presett at the March g= t regret :to report that there Wa.s not 1OO7 atterdatice, but. all_ . members Were given ample t%i tice r Notice of the meeting vas duly published it the local paper as required by the OoVert- ment it the Sunshine Law; Ot_behalf of. the Committee; 1 Wish to oRpress.appreciaticti for the opportunity to work on this problem.
