Smith, Chief of Police SUBJECT: Fonta's Pizza Parlor Sir: I would like to rescind my request for a suspension of the beer license that has been issued to the above named place of business. One of my Officers, Detective James W. Black, had been talking to the manager of this establishment and he pre- sumed that he was in communication with the owner, Mr. William Reser regarding the problems that we have had with this place of business. Apparently this was not true, because Mr. Reser came in and had only heard of the trouble via the grape vine. Mr. Reser seems very anxius to cooperate with this Department, and has assured me that he will do everything in his power to run a clean place of business. Mr. Reser volunteered to put in an alarm system to the Police Department, and he is negotiating with the alarm company at the present time. He has assured us that he will pick up all fake ID's, and will call the Police De- partment regarding such ID's. He will make certain that no beer is served without food in the restaurant area when unaccompanied juveniles are present. He has also placed his entire place of business off limits to anyone under the age of 18 years between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and midnight. We will continue to make routine checks of this establish- ment, and if the situation does not noticeably improve then I will initiate the proper action to have this license either suspended or revoked. Respectfully submitted, t� Ralph M. Smith RMS:mvc Chief of Police Motion was made by Councilman Lopez, seconded by Councilwoman Preble, to rescind the action the Council took at a previous meeting and approve the report of the Chief of Police. Upon a roll call, all members of the Council voted in the affirmative. Councilman Lopez urged that the Council give serious consideration to new applications and t'..e serving Of beer to underaged. Mayor Carson stated that this points to further need for a teen age center. ADJOURNMENT: Motion was made by Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilwoman Preble, that the Council adjourn. Upon a roll call, all members of the Council voted in the affirmative and the Council adjourned. I" I z Mayor ATTEST: ty Cler
