At tk�� last Council meeting, the City Council approved the liquor license
rene�r�ls for 1994 for Last Gall Bar & Grill subject to screening being
installed around their garbage containers.
Since the December 7 meeting I have had numerous discussions with the
property manager of the building, Mike O'Rourke, and the license holder,
Renee Rhoads.
The minutes of the public hearing on July 7 , 1993 summarizes that the other
license holder, Connie Cook, advised the Council that she would take care
of the unsightly garbage located on the southeast side of the building.
The motion did not include the screening of dumpster as a condition of the
license.
A conclusion of discussions this week come down to two alternatives:
(1) that the property manager will give a cashier's check or bond in the
amount of $3 , 000 as an assurance that a screening comparable to the
block of the building will be completed by May l, 1994 ; or
(2) that a screening of chain-link fence with panels be installed now to
satisfy the condition placed by Council on December 7 . _
The property manager would rather put up a stone screening but this is
nearly impossible to do in the winter season. To show good faith that the
wall will be completed by May 1, 1994, Mr. O'Rourke agreed to post a bond
or certified check. Although it will take a few months longer to
accomplish Council's objective, I believe it will be worth it to wait until
materials can be used that are compatible to the building and will result
in a product aesthetically pleasing to nearby residents and businessowners.
At the request of staff, Mr. 0'Rourke advised he will provide the City with
a cashier's check on Monday, December 20.
