Commissioner Narum indicated that she agrees that if Chief Spiller comes back and says he is not comfortable, there is no way she will vote to increase that number. Commissioner Pearce noted that in the previous application when the operator came back with a chart and showed there were no incidences, the Commission just approved it. Commissioner Blank proposed the following language: "Prior to coming back to the Planning Commission to entertain an increase, the applicant must have the positive recommendation of both the Police Chief and the Director of Community Development." Commissioner Olson withdrew his amendment to bring down the number to 250. Commissioner Narum re- instated her second with the addition of the two proposed amendment. The Commissioners unanimously agreed that the proposed language works for them. Commissioner Narum stated that it was her impression from her conversation with Lt. Knox and Officer Fragomeli that after the club closes down, an officer goes through the parking lot looking for bottles and trash to see if the club has cleaned up or not. She asked Chief Spiller if that really an appropriate use of the police and if there is a reason for that, and if that is not really something that is between the property owner and the club and the tenants in the building. Chief Spiller replied that as it relates to this particular staff report and reporting back to the conditions imposed on the operator, he did not think it is necessarily inappropriate; however, it falls into the PD's management for calls for service. He indicated that the PD is certainly not going to pin calls or impact its responses to what has been reported in the community; however, at the end of a busy night at a bar, PD might be looking for other things in addition to trash and bottles. He noted that people who are left behind are obviously intoxicated people, and the PD will check for if they are under the influence and drugs and things like that. He concluded that he is not specifically aware of what was offered to Commissioner Narum by the PD staff, but there are a lot of reasons that a police officer might be doing line patrol or area patrol near an establishment like this.
