Session 1925 June 21,2004 Liquor License - 6625 Delmar Blvd. An application has been received for a license to sell all types of alcoholic beverages for consumption by the drink on the premises for the new Qdoba Mexican Grill. The application is in order with all required signatures and documentation. The applicant has a clean record, appropriate references, and a high level of experience at this type of business operation. For these reasons the City Council may approve the application at this time. This license was contemplated being applied for at the time Council approved the restaurant site plan. Mr. Sharpe moved to approve and Ms. Welsch seconded. Mr. Wagner asked what kind of liquor they asked to sell, and was advised that it would be "all types by the drink." He wanted to know if the Council should wait for six months, and the City Manager advised that the record of the owner's management met the Council policy. Joe David, 653 Lewiston Drive, Kirkwood, is the Qdoba Mexican Grill owner and described his operation as including outside seating, selling bottled beers and offering one kind of margarita, not a full line of liquor or a full service bar. Ms. Welsch expressed her opinion that his application be approved so that his restaurant will be competitive and in line with those he owns in other parts of town. Ms. Colquitt also supported approval, and Ms. Brot expressed that this restaurant's competition welcomed them, so she approved as well. The motion passed unanimously. A.qenda Item #4 - MoPIRG Application to Solicit for Contributions June 29 to July 20, 2004 Mr. Ollendorff recommended approval of this application since all ordinance requirements were met. Ms. Welsch moved adoption, Ms. Colquitt seconded and the motion was approved. CITIZEN'S COMMENTS Tom Hilliard, 7315 Carlton Avenue, came to speak to the Council about a drug drop-off in front of his home on Father's Day, June 20, 2004 at 8:45 P.M. The same thing occurred on June 12, June 14 and June 16, 2004, and began last fall. He views it as a threat to homes, safety, security, and the neighborhood. He appreciated a quick response from the City, but hopes for continued support from the Council. He reported similar occurrences on Lafon Place and Northmoor Avenue, and wants to know what the Council's plan is to deal with this problem. Loretta Bryant, 7863 Milan Avenue, came to request that an ordinance be introduced to prohibit residents from combing hair in front of the house or conducting barbering. She has trouble with Section Eight tenants behaving in this way. Ms. Welsch asked if this Page 4
