CASE By: BILLIARD AND AMUSEMENT CENTER LICENSES Mike Auspos, Chief of Police BACKGROUND: The original license application for Cue Time had listed a closing time of 3:0Cam and ~he ~icense was granted for :hat Time. When it was renew.- ed in December of 1988 the discrepancy between closing times for Cue Time and the other two licensed establishments, The Place and Chip's on those times being l:OOam, was noticed and Cue Times 1989 license was issued with a l:OOam closing time. The Cheslers, owners of Cue Time, want to have the closing hours reviewed and, it is my understanding, they want to be allowed a later closing hour. Attached to this case are copies of the ordinances regulating BILLIARD and AMUSEMENT ~EI~TERS. You will note that the BILLIARD ordinance does not require nor does it refer to any showing of hours of operation. The AMUSEMENT CENTERS ordinance does spe- cifica]ly inc]ude hours of operation in the items required in the appli- cation form. RECOMMENDATION: Dealing specifically with Cue Time's request for a reviewa] or change in closing hours, I will first co,~ent that this establishment is by far a BILLIARD establishment, having only three or four video type of games. Our records show only one call for police services to Cue Time since it opened and our officers have not seen any signs of it being a 'fhang-out~ for unruly or noisy types as of this date. No alcoholic beverages are allowed in the place and it is not licensed for any type of alcohol con- sumption nor are there any licensed establishments for liquor in the area. With the current management and since the emphasis is nearly exclusively BILLIARDS as opposed being an AMUSEMENT CENTER I have no opposition to allowing closing hours of 3:OOam. Staff has scheduled Ma_r__cb4~ 1989 for a reviewal with the council on broader issue dealing' ' 'with amending and updating ordinances relatin9 so BILLIARDS and AMUSE}~ENT CENTERS and at this time the question of ctosin9 hours will be addressed for these types of licenses. Whatever the out- come of that meeting and/or subsequent meetings is, the Cue Time's license for 1990 will be issued based on those ordinances.
