DANCE PERMIT Council had received letter of February 29, L917 from the operators of the "Lucky Lady" defining exactly that the group to be permitted from 2:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M. would be adults over 21 years of age. The operation would be for an entirely different type of group than the teenage discotheque. Letter reiteratedprinciples of no alcohol-, uniformed guards, etc. Request was made that Council consider this application in conjunction with a 60 day extension of the present permit for teenage discotheque. This would allow future review of both permits at the same time.

He vote as a vote same thing Mayor Harrison cl-arified that after the vote to deny at the last meeting, Council had suggested that the new permit be brougrht up at the same time the present permit expired. He commented he would be willing to vote tonight to deny this appl-icatj-on, but proced.ure must be followed in getting proper reports from staff on the extensi-on. Councj-l-man Mangini thought the "no" vote on the previous application had been for the purpose of having the principals resubmit aproposal more clearly worded. He stated he intended to votefor this request, but thought the point of staff reports well made. Councilman Martj-n stated he had not committed himself against the 23OO - 6:00 A.M. operation. Itis vote at the last meeting had not been against the operation but because the application was notcIear, and he thought it should be put off until clarified. He added he agreed that staff reports should be presented on the extension, Councilman Crosby thought that he, Councilman Mangini and Councilman Martj-n had not committed themselves one way or the other on thisapplication, but the 5-0 vote was because the application wasnot clear. He had no objection to having this application considered aqain; but he, too, thought there should be Police andFire Department input on the extension. He suggested it be delayedfor two weeks. Mayor Harrison questioned how the operators could keep the 18 year olds out after 2:00 A.M. and suggested they consider thispoint thoroughly.
