Session 1844 June 17, 2002 Responding to Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Ollendorff said that this was a transfer for a full liquor license that is currently at that location. Mr. Wagner wanted to find out what the experience and background was for the new owners. Mayor Adams said that the owners would be called up to answer questions in a moment. Mr. Munkel asked if there was any statute that would prevent us from issuing a license to one of the applicants, a conditional resident of the United States. Mr. Ollendorff said that presented no problem at all. Ricardo Rivera, 14502 Casaldo Drive, Chesterfield, Mo, responding to Mr. Wagner stated that he owned a Mexican family restaurant with a full liquor license in Alton, II. It operated seven days a week. The liquor license included Sundays, as well, and they never had any problems during the time they operated it. They are fully aware of the liquor regulations in the state of Illinois and Missouri. They are interested in a well run business that is responsible to the community and well make sure that the liquor control laws are followed. They operated the Alton restaurant for one year and will be selling their interests in light of obtaining the four Tomatillo restaurants. They intend to serve a variety of beers, margaritas and pina colatas. Mr. Munkel moved approval. Ms. Colquitt seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. CITIZEN COMMENTS: Andrea Schnapp, 439 Westgate, said that she was hear to discuss the problems with the music on Delmar. She had written Mr. Ollendorff about the problem a year ago. It is basically a problem with the Dixie Land Band. She spoke with Mr. Lieberman about three weeks ago, as well. It has not got any better and is much worse. Mr. Ollendorff advised her to call the police if it became too much of a problem. She has called the police on three occasions, two of which, were this past weekend. On Sunday, she had the police officer over there twice. They had a party planned for Father's day and she and her guests could not hear each other. The band does not attempt to tone it down. Theresa Alsup, 936 Gay, said that there is a high degree of interest in the Heman Park Recreation Facility and she is under the impression that there are plans to expand it. She wished to find out about the current status of this project. She also wanted to find out what the citizens needed to do to facilitate this proposal. Mr. Ollendorff said that this summer the City Council would be deciding on Recreation facility and pool expansion, as well as two other big projects. His best guess that it will probably end up on the ballot for the citizens to vote for in the form of a bond issue. He advised her to keep watch on the papers. He also told her that he would remember her
