BAR REQUESTS DECISION ON BEER LICENSE Mrs. Jo Summers and Brent Church, manager of the B. J. Bar, appeared and requested transfer of 1973 Beer license from Randy Luke to Mrs. Jo Summers. Mrs. Summers also requested a decision on her•applica- tion for a beer license for 1974. Action on this license had been postponed at the December 5 council meeting pending investigation of complaints about- the operation and the possibility that the B. J. Bar was possibly operation in violation of the Beer .Ordinance. RE: CHIEF SIEPERT R~P9RTS ON B J BAe~;, COMPLAINTS, BAR CLOSED ,~r .,~ . .~_ _;~ . Chief Siepert reported as follows:` The B. J. Bar does have an arrangement with Rasmussen Real Estate for an emergency exit through their offices and opening onto main street. On two or three occasions the police had been called to the place to stop a fight. This had happened both inside and on the outside of the establishment. Complaints had been received of excessive noise from a juke box after the business had closed up for the night. Police had gone there and required them to lower the volume. ,Just recently a Rexburg Officer had apprehended a youth of age 18 drinking beer in the B. J. Bar. Chief Siepert said that the bartender stated that he had not sold the beer to the youth, and it was assumed that some one else had purchased it and passed it to the youth. The youth was charged but there was no case against the bartender. Chief Siepert at this time observed that the Beer License was in the name of Randy Luke. On December 12, 1973, Chief Siepert and a State Liquor Law Enforcement Officer, Jim Mason, went to Randy Luke and advised him that he would be held responsible for any law violations that occurred in the operation of said bar. Randy Luke informed them that he had turned the Bar back to Mrs. Jo Summers in June of 1973. He then accompanied Chief Siepert and Jim Mason to the Bar and he (Randy Luke) removed the License from the. wall. Chief Siepert and Jim Mason then informed the Barmaid that no beer was to be sold until a license was obtained. Mr. Church closed the establishment and intends to stay closed until. proper licenses are obtained. ~E COUNCILMEN QUESTION MR CHURCH ABOUT MUSIC PLAYING AFTER HOURS Mr. Church was asked why there needed to be music after closing time. He explained that the help liked to have the music while they cleaned up but that he would see that they kept the volume low. One councilman asked mr. Church if he would be willing, in case another complaint was received, to give orders that no music be played after closing time. Mr. Church agreed to this suggestion. ZE: BEER LICENSE TRANSFERRED FROM RANDY LUKE TO MRS. JO SUMMERS Mrs. Jo Summers stated that she had supposed that Randy Luke had, had the Beer Licenses transferred to her. ,. It was moved by Petersen, seconded by'~'orter that the beer,license be transferred from Randy Luke to Mrs, Jo Summers. All four c,ounellm~:n present voted aye. RE : BEER L I GEA1~S.j~ GRANTED TO SRS,, JwUSUMMERS FOR B. J . BAR It was then moved by Petersen and seconded by Porter that a beer license for sale of beer to be consumed on the premises be granted to Mrs. Jo Sommers for the year 1974, all four councilmen voted aye. RE: REXBURG LUMBER COMPANY GIVEN PERMISS{ON TO HAVE STORAGE TANKS FOR FUEL Mayor Shirley informed the council that the Rexburg Lumber Company had requested permission to install 3 large storage tanks for liquid motor fuel aboveground. Fire Chief Clements and Building Inspector, Brinton had checked this out and it appeared that this Opuld be allowed under presently adopted codes, because of the outlying location of the proposed installation and providing that certain regulations be followed including those of OSHA. A discussion by the council showed some expectation that because of fuel shortage, there might be further requests for aboveground fuel tanks and that in most cases such installation would not be permitted by our fire codes. It was moved by Smith and seconded by Petersen that the building inspector be instructed to refuse to issue a permit for any aboveground fuel tank without a review and reecmmendation from the Council and that a favorable recommendation now be given to the building inspector for the installation at Rexburg Lumber Company. All voted aye. It was moved by Porter, seconded by Davis to adjourn. All voted Aye. Meeting was adjourned at 4:40 P.
