12-30-1991 Special Called MeetingDECEMBER 30, 1991 A special called meeting of Mayor and Council was held pursuant to the Charter on December 30, 1991 at Smyrna City Hall. The meeting was called to order at 6:30 o'clock p.m. by presiding officer Mayor A. Max Bacon. All council members were present except Bob Davis. Also present was City Clerk Melinda Dameron and City Attorney Charles E.. Camp. The purpose of the meeting was to hear a request for a privilege license for Jocks & Jills Restaurant. Public Hearinas: (A) Privilege License - Liquor, Beer and Wine Pouring - Jocks & Jills Cobb 2569 Cobb Parkway Melinda Dameron stated that Mr. Michael Small has applied to be the agent for a new license for Jocks & Jills Sports Bar on Cobb Parkway. This is a previously licensed location at 2569 Cobb Parkway. Mayor Bacon stated this is a public hearing and asked if anyone was present in opposition to this request. There was none. Mayor Bacon stated the reason for the special called meeting is due to the fact that some of the owners of Jocks and Jills will only be in town this weekend and we are trying to accommodate them in order for them to have their grand opening. Normally the request would have been heard on January 6, 1992, but since this location has been a very good location for beer, wine and liquor pouring we felt it would be in line for us to try to accommodate them as much as possible. Wade Lnenicka asked Mr. Small to tell us a little about the business he wanted to open. Mr. Small responded that they were a sports bar and indicated they had been in business downtown for about four years and they have two locations currently, in mid -town and Jimmy Carter Boulevard.. We are more of a restaurant than a bar and we do serve more food than we do liquor. We have a very good lunch program and have televisions in the restaurant where they can show all the sporting events. Councilman Lnenicka asked Mr. Small if he had held an alcoholic beverage license before and Mr. Small responded that he had. Mr. Small is currently the licensee on the downtown location and has held that license for four years. Mr. Lnenicka asked if there had ever been any problems with holding that license and Mr. Small said they had been caught serving a minor in the time that Atlanta busted two hundred establishments in July of 1989, but nothing since that time. Mr. Small indicated they would have between eighteen and twenty-four employees and.most of them are current employees who have been trained in who can be served and who can not be served. They will have training classes for the employees on Thursday night and have an on -going training process for this purpose. During special events they will hire police officers.to be at the door to assist in determining age limits. The bar only accepts valid Georgia Drivers License as a means of identification if there is a question as to the age of the patron. Councilman Lnenicka stated for the record that we do have a letter from Police Chief Stan Hook indicating there was no derogatory information that would preclude the issuance of this license. Councilman Wood asked if the bar was leasing the space and how much large the establishment was. Mr. Small indicated the space would be leased and is approximately two thousand square feet. The seating capacity is 96 people and an additional 20-24 people can be accommodated on the patio. Mayor Bacon cautioned that all rules and regulations should be followed as pertains to being certain not to sell to minors. Councilman Lnenicka asked if Mr. Small had read and understood all the ordinances given to him and Mr. Small indicated he had read and understands the ordinances. Mr. Small also indicated they had set up a deal with Checker Cab and Anheuser Busch, called Alert Cab, to drive people home if they need to be taken home instead of allowing them to drive their own car. December 30, 1991, meeting - continued Councilman Lnenicka made a motion that the beer, wine and liquor pouring license for Jocks and Jills at 2569 Cobb Parkway be approved. Motion was seconded by Councilman Scoggins. Motion was approved 6-0. Mayor Bacon asked if there was any other business to be brought forward. Councilman Lnenicka made a motion to suspend the rules for discussion of what to do with our recycling contract that expires December 31, 1991. Councilman Scoggins seconded the motion. Approved 6-0. Councilman Lnenicka stated that we need to discuss the recycling contract. He feels the contract should be extended in order to allow us time to determine what course of action the City wishes to follow. Councilman Scoggins stated this program had been costly and we should proceed slowly with our decision. Mayor Bacon stated he felt the City needs at least ninety days to come up with a decision. Councilman Lnenicka made a motion to extend our pilot recycling contract with Chambers Development Company for ninety days through the end of March and allow the Mayor to extend the contract on a month -by -month basis through June 30. Councilman Scoggins seconded the motion. After discussion Councilman Lnenicka amended his motion that the funds to continue this contract shall come from the contingency account. Councilman Hawkins seconded the amended motion. The amendment to the motion was approved 6-0. The main motion was approved 6-0. With no further business, this meeting adjourned at 6:48 p.m. A.
