ROM: R. S. Baker, Purchasing Agent
ATE: January 10, 1966
Bids were opened on January 6, 1966, for supplying the City of Fort Collins with
asoline, fuel oil, chlorine, aluminum sulphate, lime and activated carbon for one year.
Bids were also opened for one year fleet insurance policy and one year general
isbility policy.
Attached are tabulation of bids. All b ids have been checked and meet specifica-
ions .
It is recommended the low bid of the Don Farnham Agency for fleet insurance and
eneral liability insurance be accepted.
527
The Sinclair bid on gasoline at .1093¢ is low and is therefore recommended for
acceptance.
It is recommended the low bid of the Continental Oil Company for fuel oil be
eccepted.
Since Van Water & Robers bid was on all or none basis, the Thompson --Hayward
price on activated carbon would be low.
Mine & Smelter Supply was the low bid der on hydrated lime and it is recommended
that their bid be accepted.
Since Thompson--Hayward's low bid on aluminum sulphate was contingent with out -
purchasing chlorine it is recommended we buy both from this supplier.
Respectfully submitted,
R. S. Baker, Purchasing Agent
Motion was made by Councilman McMillan, seconded by Councilman Carson, that the
bids be accepted as recommended by the Purchasing Agent. Roll was calbd resulting as
follows: Ayes: Councilmen Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Kruchten. Absent: Councilman
Johnson, excused. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted.
Alvin L. Miller and John Elliott Miller were present and asked to be heard in
reference to the zoning of the West Elizabeth Foothills Annexation and the West Prospect
Second Annexation. Inasmuch as the zoning, as requested in the petitions for annexation of
these two tracts of land , were not questioned as being allowed in the annexation proceeding
for the reason that the new zoning ordinance No. 46, 1965, was in the process of being pre-
pared for adoption and the map attached thereto was not zoned as requested in the annexatioi
proceedings. Messrs. Alvin L. and John Elliott: Miller were advised that it would be neces-
sary to proceed with the rezoning to bring the property in line with the comparable zones
requested in the annexation proceedings. They were complaining that action of the properti�
to rezone was dragged out considerably and that they were being held up in the sale of some
of their lots, etc., and the fact that permits would be granted for the zoning as previousl•
requested. There was considerable discussion between the Council, the Planning and Zoning
Director Gene Allen and Alvin and Elliott Miller regarding this matter. After further
discussion, motion was made by Councilman Carson, seconded by Councilman McMillan, that this
matter be tabled for two weeks for clarification. Roll was called resulting as follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Kruchten. Absent: Councilman Johnson,
excused. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted.
Mr. Alvin L. Miller and John Elliott Miller requested the Council to allow them
to apply for permits and authorize the Building Inspection Department to issue those permits
for the new zoning as was being requested. The City Attorney advised the Council that this
could be done but the eitire risk of the matter would be with the developers in case the
rezoning was not approved. After discussion, motion was made by Councilman Carson, seconded
by Councilman Kruchten, that the permits be authorized to be granted in West Elizabeth Foot-
hills and West Prospect Second Annexations on all lots for which a building permit is
applied for previously to completion of the rezoning of these annexations and that the devel
oilers would be responsible for any change necessary if the rezoning was not approved. Roll
was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Kruchten.
Absent: Co.ancilman Johnson, excused. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion
adopted.

HILL AND COYTE
January 7, 1966
City of Fort Collins
Municipal Building
Fort Collins, Colorado
Re: Application of the Southland Corporation for 3.2 beer license at 7-Eleven
Store No. 56--1001 Lemay Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado
ntlemen:
This letter is written in behalf of North Eventide situate at 1000 Lemay Avenue
n Fort Collins, immediately across the street from the store operated by the above appli-
ant, and in behalf of other residents in the area.
On January 6, 1966, the City of Fort Collins through its Council, Mayor andClerk
made a report as the local licensing authority reporting that this license if granted would
comply with the reasonable requirements of the neighborhood and complies with the provis-
ions of Chapter 75-1-53.
At the hearing at which the City of Fort Collins took this action on the afternoon
of January 6, 1966, North Eventide and others represented by our office appeared before the
City Council and requested permission to give evidence in opposition to this application ,
but this evidence was refused.
The license application was still before the Council; representatives of the appli
cant were present in the Council Chambers; and my clients were advised by both the Mayor and
Deputy Clerk that such evidence would be received; and that the hearing had been cottlnued to
this day.
The refusal to hear this evidence so that it could be considered by the Court if aci
is brought, we consider as arbitrary and capricious and inequitable. Until an application
for license has been acted upon, the Council not only has the right but the obligation to
hear all evidence pertinent and we believe the City's only course under the situation exist-
ing was to have continued the matter to another day if the applicant claimed it was prejud-
iced. The applicant did not claim prejudice but claimed only that the hearing was over and
the protestants were not entitled to submit evidence.
Furthermore, under the application as submitted, it is the position of our clients'
that the Southland Corporation is not qualified to hold such a license, in that the granting
of such license violates the provisions of Chapter 2, Section 19, of the governing City
Ordinance, and Chapter 71-8 (1) and (4) of the Colorado Statutes. The application of the
Southland Corporation shows that the persons listed in Paragraphs 5 and 6 of the State of
Colorado liquor license application addendum have an interest financially and otherwise in
other 3.2 licens-s in the State of Colorado. Under the City Ordinance this precludes the
issuance of the license here granted.
Furthermore, the license application as submitted is for a joint A and B Class
3.2 license which reads as follows:
THE SOUTHLAND CORPORATION,
"I d/b/s 7-Eleven Stores Herby make application for annual City (A) and rB) Class
License to sell (but not) serve on premises hereinafter described, non -intoxicating malt
Liquor in accordance with Ordinance No. 3, 1933, as amended, of the City of Fort Collins."
Accordingly, this application as granted would be a joint license which under the
ordinance permits consumption on the premises, yet the property where this outlet is located
is zoned against establishments serving beer.
Under the case of SIEROTA v. SCOTT, 143 Colorado 246, our Supreme Court has held
t;iat a municipality cannot restrict a license, saying:
"Forbidding one or the other type of sale is precisely what this ordinance does
and is intended to do. That is also precisely what it cannot do under the guise
of regulation."
This means, we believe, that is a 3-2 beer license is granted, the City cannot
restrict the applicant to the sale of package goods but must permit its consu�aption on the
premises if the applicant desires. Yet such a license to consume on these premises was not
considered by the Council, nor by the protestants.
If the City of Fort Collins cannot restrict the applicant, then the applicant is
not restricted to sales of 3.2 beer in package.
Furthermore, Regulation No.2 (C.) of Byron A. Anderson, Secretary of State,
amended to July 1, 1965, requires that the applicann if a foreigh corporation shall submit
;vidence of its qualification t-) do business within this State. I am advised that no such
evidence was submitted with the application.
ion
529
January 13, 1966
Furthermore, under the evidence whtich was submitted at the date when the 6ounci
fiat considered this matter, there was sufficient evidence submitted to show that there was',
no need for this license and that the inhabitants of the neighborhood did not desire the
license, and that the requirements of the neighborhood for 3.2 beer were already satisfied
by other existing licenses; so that the approval of the license application was arbitrary a
capricious.
In behalf of our clients, we respectfully request that the Council immediately
rescind its approval and request Byron A. Anderson as Ex-Officio State Licensing Authority
to deny the application.
Very respectfully submitted,
/s/ Alden T. Hill
After discussion, it was the opinion of the City Attorney that Mr. Hill should
go the courts for the revision as requested in his communication.
The City Manager reported that he had an offer from Poudre R-1 District for the
sale of 441/2400 shares of New Mercer Irrigation Go. Stock and 1/8 share of Larimer County
Canal No. 2 stock. Motion was made by Councilman Carson, seconded by Councilman McMillan,
that this be referred to the Water Board for their recommendation. Roll was called result-
ing as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Kruchten. Absent:
Councilman Johnson, excused. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted.
A recess was called at this time to allow the Assistant City Attorney to arrive
for the hearing on the Chef's Cafe viola_l-ion of the beer ordinance. At 3.20 o'clock P.M.,
the meeting was called to order and the hearing set for to -day on the Chef's Cafe beer
license violation, was set in motion. Assistant City Attorney Arthur March, Jr., called
Alden H911 to the stand and questioned him. He presented statments of Kathryn Beshara and
Joyce Albin as exhibits to be placed in the records of the hearing. Exhibit A was the state
meet made to Assistant Chief Howe by Kathryn Beshara and Exhibit B was the statement of Joycl
Albin made to Officers Jack Gregory and Dan Eyenner. These statements were as follows:
Kathryn Beshara:
