LIQUOR ORDINANCE - 18 Year Old Arm Band: When the amendment to ordinance #71.11 was approved, it was to be reviewed by the counc i 1 at the end of the six month trial period. This being the end of the trial period, the council requested the Po lice Chief and 1 iquor license holders allowing minors in their establishments by use of arm bands, to appear before them to discuss the workability of the ordinance and if it should be continued. The mayor stated the po lice chief would speak first followed by the establishment owners. Po 1 ice Chief: Stated their has been an increase in the number of altercations in and near I i qual' establishments since the amendment to the ordinance. Also, he felt that because of the volume of minors it the bars, it was difficult for the bouncers to keep track of the minors. La Playette: Mark Zimmer feels allowing minors in 1 iquor establishments by use of arm bands can work with proper supervision. He has hired four bouncers to circulate amongst the patrons, to watch the minors as close as possible. The only night they use the armbands allowing minors in the bar is on Thursday nights. Sa l' s Bar and Gr ill: Dale Schneider stated that since March 16, they have hired more bouncers to monitor the patrons. In addition, they tried stamping all the patrons -- majors with a different color than minors. This would alleviate the problem of minor patrons pushing the arm band up their coat sleeve and the bartenders could easily check a I 1 patrons when purchasing alcohol. After discussion, the Mayor recommended to continue the current po I icy, but encouraged the establishment owners to continue to impf'ove methods of contro 11 i ng the minors and , 1777 WQì~k with the po Ii ce department when problems arise.
