Police Chief Auspos and City Attorney Goodrich noted that <br />the present ordinance does not prescribe hours of operation and minimum performance <br />standards that address health and safety issues. It was also noted that without these issues <br />specifically addressed by ordinance, the City would not have grounds to revoke an <br />amusement center license that has developed into a nuisance problem. <br /> <br />Council directed City Staff to draft an amusement center ordinance based on the above <br />discussion and utilizing information gained from similar ordinances in other communities. <br /> <br />Chief Auspos indicated that there is a need to also review the City's ordinance regulating <br />the issuance of motor vehicle sales and repair licenses. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann stated that another priority should be the review of the City's ordinance <br />regulating multiple dwellings. <br /> <br />Council recessed at 7:33 p.m. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann called the meeting back to order at 7:45 p.m. and led in the Pledge of <br />Allegiance to the Flag. <br /> <br />City Council/August 22, 1989 <br /> Page 4 of 17 <br /> <br /> <br />
