Member Foss pointed out that the old squad car at the time would not go over 40 miles per hour. and was unsafe for use of any kind. Report of Attorney, Re: Billboards: The Village Attorney ex- plained past Council procedures regarding billboards, with particular reference to a policy adopted by this Council on January 5th, 1954, and stated that in his opinion said policy may constitute sufficient grounds for billboard companies to successfully litigate the order of this Council that certain billboards be removed. The Attorney further advised the Coun- cil that during the week of March 7th, 1954, the Village Clerk's Office had received letters from several billboard companies, said letters accompanied by checks purporting to pay past bill- board license fees. The Village Attorney requested that he be given additional time in which to study the matter and that at a future date he would give a written opinion to the Council. After further discussion, MOVED by Stark seconded by Bias car- ried that the billboard companies be advised that the Council does hereby extend the dead line for the removal of the unli- censed billboards referred to above. The Council instructed the Administrative Assistant to obtain the ordinances of neigh- boring communities and to present them to the Council for study. Mr. Lyle Larson, 7430 Wayzata Boulevard, then advised the Council of his recent request that a permit be granted for the construction of a billboard on his property, and of the refusal of the Council to allow the issuance of said license. MOVED by Stark seconded by Bias carried that the Village.Attor- ney be instructed to compare the billboard ordinance of the Village of Golden Valley with that of neighboring communities and to report his findings to the Village Council. Re: Sunday Closing Ordinance: MOVED by Stark seconded by Bias to give a first reading tAN ORDINANCE REPEALING 'AN ORDIN- ANCE AMENDING "AN ORDINANCE LICENSING AND REGULATING THE SALE OF INTOXICATING LIQUUOR,,Zk�' k INCONSISTENT ORDINANCES AND PROVIDING FOR A PENALMTHEREOF', BY CHANGING THE CLOSING HOURS AND PROHIBITING SUNDAY OPERATIONS' °t. MOVED by Foss to amend the above motion as follows: "... that out of the license fees paid by on -sale liquor establishments the Council appropriate the sum of X1,000.00 per annum to pro- vide for Sunday policing of on -sale liquor establishments, by a private concern, those places that are open on Sundays for the serving of meals." Member Foss stated upon question that he believed such a private police agency has regular police powers, whereupon the Village Attorney stated that any citizen has the right of arrest when misdemeanors or felonies are com- mitted in his presence. Mayor Huebsch read a prepared statement setting forth his views upon the issue of Sunday closing and the conduct of this hear- ing. The Mayor then announced that the Council would hear opponents and proponents on the issue: The proponents spoke as follows: Dr. Fred Holzapfel Dr. Holzapfel stated that he represent - 311 Burntside Drive ed a large group of people not present tonight who objected to closing restau- rants and cafes on Sundays on the following grounds: (1) That the selling of food on Sunday was a perfectly legitimate enter- prise and that he and his neighbors wanted the privilege of "eating out" on Sunday. (2) It was discrimination to permit private clubs to remain open on Sunday while prohibiting duly licensed restaurants from serving similar meals. (3) That he understood that there was a question as to whether or not mis- memeanors have been committed on Sundays through the selling,of liquor in said establishments. Dr. Holzapfel stated that if proof is submitted that misdemeanors have been committed he and others would want such establishments closed immediately, but that he understood that there had never been any signed com- plaint whatsoever against any establishment, that there have been only second or third party rumors, but that all rumors have been checked and have been found to be without foundation, that such rumors always turned out to be rumors without basis in fact. (4) Such establishments have spent large sums of cap- ital to serve the public with adequate meals and entertainment, and that they should not lose a portion of the possible returns on their capital outlay by being closed on Sunday. (5) Records show that additional policing has not been necessary. (6) That in the opinion of himself and his neighbors no "carnival spirit" prevails at the establishments which have in the past choosers to remain open on Sunday. Some citizens cannot afford to be- long to a private country club and therefore the only place for such persons and their families to "eat out" on Sunday is at a licensed cafe or restaurant, that the same conditions of con- sumption of alcoholic beverages can exist in a private home as in a duly licensed restaurant or cafe. Dr. Holzapfel further stated that by permitting country clubs to remain open on Sun- day for serving of meals the Council is placing confidence in one group of people and is in effect saying that this group of people is better than another group consisting of the general public. (7) Dr. Holzapfel then discussed the transportation of bottles of intoxicating beverages into public restaurants, stating that the restaurant cannot prohibit such transportation, but did attempt to prevent consumption on the premises. Dr. John Shimek Dr. Shimek stated that he and his wife lib Ottawa Ave. South wanted a local place at which they could east Sunday dinners, that he wanted to give his wife a "break" in the daily routine of meal preparation on Sunday, and that inasmuch as all reputable restaurants are closed on Sunday he has to drive several miles to obtain dinnners on Sunday unless he wishes to eat at home, and that some places serve meals which are "unfit". Dr. Shimek stated that Dr. Holz- apfel had exactly stated his sentiments on the rest of the issues. Mr. Burr Markham Mr. Markham stated that he has a cit - 400 Natchez Ave. North izen's interest in the matter and that ne thought it was "a tempest in a tea- pot". Mr. Markham stated that he liked to eat on Sundays as well as on Saturdays, that in the past few years there has been a nationwide tendency to get away from Sunday "blue laws", and that he would like to see this Village follow suit in this mat- ter. If a restaurant is properly run he can see no objection to its being open on Sunday. Mr. Maher Troup 1Ir. Troup stated that he had rebuilt Manager of "The White "The uihite House" under the'impression House" that he would be allowed to operate under the same conditions that existed prior to the destruction of the old "White House" (by fire), and that he had a X250,000.00 investment in the building and fix- tures. Mr. Troup stated that he now needs the extra income de- rived from Sunday business and that he was in favor of the re- peal of the ordinance closing his establishment on Sunday. The Mayor inquired as to whether or _riot he felt that he had a pe- culiar responsibility to the public. Mr. Troup stated that he felt that he had no more responsibility to the public than any other business catering to the public, that he has in effect a 4250,000.00 bond posted with the Village of Golden Valley inas- much as his present building is a one -purpose building and he therefore would not under any conditions.jeopardize his busin- ess by unlawful operation. The Mayor inquired as to what steges a restaurant operator can take to prevent his premises from be- coming a "bottle club". Mr. Troup stated that he has a 42,000.00 a year insurance policy against persons becoming drunk and dis- orderly either on his premises or after they leave it. Mr. Michael I. Mann Mr. Mann stated that he had a family Manager, "The Point" trade worked up on Sundays before the Council closed his establishment on Sundays, that he always tried to operate his business according to the law and that he intended to operate within the law now and in the future. Upon question Mr. Mann stated that he felt that his business had the same responsibility to the public as any other business. Mr. Mann further stated that until "we break the law" we should not be condemned and that if we do break the law in any way then the Council has the right to close us up on Sunday. Mr. Mann stated that he needed the income that he derived from Sunday operation and that it helped to meet his overhead expenses. On question Mr. Mann stated that if a patron brings a bottle into his club it is not his problem, but that he had an insurance policy costing more than 42,000.00 a year against persons becoming drunk and disorderly either on his premises or after leaving his premises. Mayor Huebsch inquired as to whether or not the businesses which would stay open on Sunday, if the ordinance were repealed, would advertise that they would be open. i1r. Mann stated that it would probably be nec- essary to advise the public that they would be open on Sunday. Upon question Member Bies stated that he would agree to Mr. Fosst motion. Mr. Bill Varner Mr. Varner stated that in his exper- 6931 Sixth Avenue North ience the on -sale liquor establishments Constable, Village of have been no police problem whatsoever Golden Valley and in particular, no police problem on Sunday, that he felt that paying a thousand dollars a year to a private agency was an insult to our local police department, Mr. Whitney of the Liquor Control Com- mission, and the Hennepin County Police. Mr. Varner further stated that, "I think that you have one of the best records out here." Mr. Troup stated that he pays a fee of 05.00 a month to have an individual agency check upon the.operation of his business. and that this agency has critized him for closing the bar to patrons 18 minutes before closing time and that these reports were mailed to him at his home. Member Stark stated that in his opinion it was not up to the Council to tell private businesses when to close. Mayor Huebsch then inquired if there were any persons in the audience who were opposed to repealing the ordinance closing those restau- rants on Sundays, where said restaurants are licensed for on - sale intoxicating liquors on weekdays. No persons came forward to oppose the repeal of said ordinance, whereupon Mayor Huebsch stated that in his opinion the absence of opposition was probably due to the lack of sufficient newspaper circulation and information. Member Stark outlined past procedures and discussed the opinion of the Attorney General rendered in July of 1953• Member Stark also mentioned the petition which he had presented to this Council in January of 1954, and stated that all businesses should have the right to be open on Sundays if they wanted to be open, so long as they obeyed the law. Mrs. Clara Schuller Mrs. Schuller stated that her business Schullerls Tavern is not open on Sundays at the present time but they might want to be open at some time in the future and that she was opposed to the Council closing her business on Sunday by ordinance. Mr. Graydon Ewald Mr. Ewald stated that he is a member 615 Utah Ave. South of the Golden Valley Country Club and that he could attend said club for dinners on Sundays and that although it did no "bother him when they were open or closed on Sunday", he felt that he should have the privilege to go out-- and patronize such businesses when he wanted to. Mr. Ewald further stated that he as a private citizen cannot see any objection whatsoever to restaurants being open on Sunday. Mr, Michael I. Mann of the Point stated that at the time the Council considered the ordinance in 1953 only one woman appear- ed in support of the proposition of closing his business on Sunday and that this person was against businesses such as his not only on Sunday, but every other day of the week. Dr. Holzapfel requested permission to address the Council again. Dr. Holzapfel stated that there is no rationale in the talk that the Council is not informed regarding Sunday closing, that the petition mentioned by Member Stark was circulated by Dr. Holz- apfel in December of 1953, and that furthermore, the issue of Sunday closing was common talk in their own homes, and was dis- cussed at parties and everywhere where people gathered, either socially or on business. Dr. Holzapfel further stated that the petition circulated by himself in December of 1953, attempted only to convey the opinion of a number of people and that nei- ther he nor anybody else had made any attempt to set up the pe- tition as a legal, formal document. Member Rahn stated that it was his impression, derived from conferences with restaurant people, that selling meals on Sunday caused said businesses to lose money and therefore why should such places want to be open on Sunday. Member Rahn then inquired of Mr. Larry Hork, business manager of the Point, Member Foss and Village Attorney Kane, as to whether or not he could devulge certain information. All stated their willingness for Mr. Rahn so to do; Mr. Kane, however, stating that he would want to hear what had to be said before he would agree to any such stipulation. Mr. Rahn then asked Mr. Hork whether or not Mr. Hork had ever told him that the Point sold whiskey on Sunday. Mr. Hork said that he had never made such a statement. Mr. Rahn then asked Mr. Kane whether or not Mr. Hork had ever told him that the Point sold whiskey on Sunday. Mr. Kane stated that he recalled the conference to which. Member Rahn alluded so vaguely that he could not answer with sufficient accuracy as to give his answer any weight. Mem- ber Foss stated that he had seen whiskey sold on Sunday over the bar in 1952. Mr. Hork stated that his business makes a profit on the Sunday serving of meals and that Mr. Dantes had given bottles to persons for use in their homes who then returned sim- ilar type bottles to the Point and that there was thus no sale of any w'aiskey on Sunday. Mr. Hork further stated that he was first employed at the Point in 1952 and there has been no vio- lation or transaction as mentioned above while he has been em- ployed at the Point. Member Rahn stated that he objected to: (1) No one but interested operators and their supporters are present tonight, (2) He was opposed to the additional police cost as proposed by Member Foss on the grounds that it was not necessary. Member Bies stated he would not want to be told that he could not operate hiis business on any day when he could make a profit. Mr. Harold Lynch stated that on August 4th, 1953, he had been in favor of the ordinance in 1953, but that present sentiment in the Village is for repeal; that he did not feel that the ex- penditure of 11,000.00 for a private police agency was warranted. Mr. Lynch further stated that he will keep closed on Sunday but that he felt that voluntary clesinb was the ideal way of meeting the problem and that he felt that the future of the Village was more secure if all on -sale liquor establishments keep their restaurant facilities closed on Sunday. Member Foss then stated that he would , if the Council would agree to it, stipulate in his proposed amendment that an additional fee be charged to those businesses who wished to remain open on Sunday and suggested a minimum charge of 010.00 per Sunday. Mr. Troup stated that his on -sale intoxicating liquor license, other license fees, and the general tax on his property is sufficient to provide adequate policing for his business and that of his colleagues. Mr. Lester Elstad Mr. Elstad stated 'chat in his opinion 120 Edgewood Avenue South the citizens of Golden Valley will police those businesses which wish to remain open on Sunday for the serving of meals. If there is any violation of the ordinance the public would demand that they be closed up and that it was a matter ofindividual responsibil- ity on the part of every citizen of the Village. Mayor Huebsch suggested that the matter of appropriating 41,000.00 to a special police agency for policing restaurants open on Sun- day be held in abeyance. Member Foss thereupon withdrew his a- mendment to the above motion. THE PREVIOUS QUESTION: Mayor Huebsch then called for a vote on the previous question. Upon vote being taken thereon all voted in favor thereof except Members Huebsch and Rahn; Member Huebsch abstaining from voting and Member Rahn voting "NO". MOVED by Foss seconded by Stark carried to approve the above or- dinance quoted -by -title on its first reading.. Member Huebsch abstained from voting. Member Rahn voted "NO" on the above motion.
