MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 5, 1982
TO: Members of the Council, City Manager, City Clerk
FROM: Robert W. Jansen, City Attorney
RE: Liqour permit application of James 6londonaro, d/b/a "Vanessa's"
The liquor permit application of James Dlondonaro d/b/a "Vanessa's" is set for
approval by the Council at a special meeting on Monday afternoon.
I have examined the application to make sure that same complies with the re-
quirements of City Code Section 5-25. This provision of the City Code states
that: "The applicant must submit the application form to the Police Chief,
Fire Chief, County Sheriff, County Attorney, County Health Inspector, and lastly,
to the Building Inspector. Each official shall make an investigation, sign the
form and recommend approval or denial of theapplication." In the space for re-
quired signatures on Mr. Mondonaro's application, the signature for the County
Sheriff states, "No recommendation at this time", signed Gary Hughes. The
signatures of the Building Inspector, Chief of Police, and County Attorney are
all shown as "Approved".
It is my opinion that the application is not complete and does not meet the re-
quirements of Section 5-25 until such time as the County Sheriff indicates
either "Approved" or "Denied".
I have adtrised Mr. Dlondonaro's attorney, Mr. Tom Cilek, this afternoon (Friday)
that I will have to advise the Council not to act upon this application until
this is clarified and the requirement is met. Mr. Cilek informed me that lie
and/or his client will attempt to have Sheriff Hughes indicate his approval or
denial by the time the Council convenes on Monday to consider the application.
In the event that the application is finally completed as required by the
ordinance, I wish to advise the Council that if the Sheriff indicates that the
application should be denied, the Council may exercise its discretion and approve
or disapprove the application.
