and he would like to give people a chance to succeed. He emphasized that he just does not want to permanently limit the club to 300 without giving the operator an opportunity and an incentive to maybe increase to 400 or whatever that number might be down the road. Chief Spiller stated that he totally understands that. He added he thinks the pattern of appropriate operation and effective management of the facility will certainly create the opportunity to increase that number. Commissioner Pearce thanked Chief Spiller and reiterated that she does not necessarily want to start at the maximum number. She indicated that she likes the idea of monitoring and having them come back in a couple of months. She noted that she heard what the Chief had to say and that 300 is the maximum right now that the PD is recommending. She added that she is not comfortable with starting at the maximum and then considering upping that in a month or two months, but would prefer to start a little bit lower and then with frequent monitoring, see where they are and then have the flexibility to move it up with 300 as the maximum. Commissioner Olson proposed an amendment to change the language of the original motion to 250. Commissioner Blank accepted the proposed amendment. Commission Narum indicated that she is not accepting the proposed amendment and withdrew her second. Commissioner Blank inquired is 275 is acceptable. Commissioner Narum commented that they are splitting hairs here. Chair Pentin stated that he is comfortable with 300, knowing that they have run the club with much larger numbers over its history, just not in the last 90 days or 100 days. He added that he is comfortable with what the Police Chief says that 300 will work. He noted that the Commission is giving an "out" here that it could be dropped back; the Commission can look at it and can say that while the operator has actually adhered to the conditions of approval, it just has not been enough time and the Commission does not want to increase the number. He pointed out, however, that in fairness to the business, they have already indicated that they cannot even do it at 300. Commissioner Narum emphasized that she would not in any way entertain increasing the number without having the Chief say that the PD is comfortable with the number and believes they have a handle on it.
