After a'review of the public documents of private clubs, Bowlin stated the following.options as courses of action: a), that if:the.Commission felt.a discriminatory practice was taking place they could file their own complaint; b) that the City Attorney; had the authority to file its own complaint c) that nothing':could be -done;., , d) that the- privatee-club could be contacted and questioned about their prac- tices for clarification. Scott suggested that the City,Attorney's office might wish to review all establishments in Iowa City with a Class A_Liquor Permit.Morgan stated that the Commission might consider establishing a procedure whereby they would be a part of the review process°for issuing liquor licenses. Bowlin stated that he felt the confidentiality of a complaint applies even if the Commission files. It was suggested that infor- = mation on what it means to be a private club be publicly disseminated. Upon the motion of Matsomoto and seconded by Scott, the approved procedure by which to handle the question of private clubs is as follows:. 1. To have the City Attorney's office establish guidelines on what_ it means to be a private -club. 2. - To bring these guidelines back to the Commission for approval. 3. 'After Commission approval to take the guidelines to the Council for approval. 4. To publicly disseminate these guidelines, especially to private clubs.' The Commission received questions on this issue from David Seligman. Concerning the specific issue of Grace and Rubies, Dwayne Rohovit, attorney for GraceandRubies, stated that he did notbelieve the memo written by Angie Ryan was entirely accurate, specifically in; relation to her interpre- tation of nterpretation'of the bylaws of Graceand Rubies in ;light of -the law.on private =clubs. -He also stated that they had offered to meet with the City's Legal Department to discuss. -the' -bylaws of Grace and Rubies but that the Legal Departmentbad never contacted them about a meeting. fie particularly stated his disapproval of the fact that the -memo had summary statements which implied that Grace and Rubies was operating in a discriminatory manner with out checking about the interpretation of their bylaws with the directors 6i Mr.'Rohovit. Upon the motion of Davidsen and seconded by Madison, -the Commission deferred the discussion of Grace and; Rubies until the criteria.: for private clubs is established. The motion passed. 2. BFOQ's"- There'was.discussion revolving around the-BFOQ report with the concern that this report might be construed as a;legal opinion. Based on _that concern, Matsomoto suggested that the cover letter for the report clearly state that the report is not a legal opinion,.that it is the Commission's interpretation of Federal law -and `may be of interest to the owner in the operationof their • business and that if they have any questions that they should contact their own ` attorney.
