MINUTES OF MEETING HELD TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1997
The meeting was called to order at 7:07 P.M. by Chairman De
Angelis. Also present were Committee Members D'Acquisto,
Sanders, and Salentine, as well as Aldermen Patterson, Pionek,
Slocomb and Woodard, Finance Director Gunderson, Clerk-Treasurer
Marenda and Deputy Clerk Blenski.
The Deputy Clerk noted the meeting was noticed in accordance
with the Open Meetings Law on Friday, May 9, 1997.
License Approval
Alderman D'Acquisto noted that he had a discussion with Donna
Morris who submitted an application for a Special Dance Permit for Changes Pub & Grill (W194 S7060 Hillendale Drive). Mrs.
Morris was not aware that her attendance at the May 7 Finance
Committee meeting was required. As she was not present, the
committee deferred action on that item. Alderman D'Acquisto
stated when the Class "A" Dance license was denied last year,
the applicant was informed that she could apply for a Special
Dance Permit for specific events and the Finance Committee would
review each application on an individual basis. Alderman
Salentine moved to grant one Special Dance Permit to Donna
Morris to allow live music on May 23, 1997. Alderman Sanders
seconded. The Committee specifically stated that any applications for future requests will be reviewed based on the outcome of the permit granted for May 23. Motion carried 3-O.
Mayor De Angelis noted that he personally interviewed Kim
Schneider regarding an application she submitted for an
Operator's License as she is unable to attend the Wednesday
Finance Committee meetings. A favorable police report was
received for said applicant. Alderman D'Acquisto moved to
recommend approval. Alderman Salentine seconded, motion
carried.
The minutes of the previous meeting were reviewed.
Clerk-Treasurer Marenda noted that the May 7 committee minutes
directed a refund be issued in response to a request by M. Rieck
who withdrew her application for an Operator's license. The Clerk-Treasurer stated the resolution establishing the fee for
an Operator's License states the fee is nonrefundable. A
resolution could be brought forward at the next Council meeting
to establish an amount of the licensing fee that is refundable.
The Clerk-Treasurer stated that the City should be able to
retain a reasonable administrative cost for processing the
application. She calculates that to be $25. With the current
cost of an Operator's License being $40, $15 would be refundable. Alderman D'Acquisto stated there are extenuating
circumstances when refunds may be issued and the Finance
Committee would review each request. Jean Marenda requested that when the committee reviews refund requests, the $25
administrative fee not be refunded.
