210 <br /> Ms. Mohr asked if the tables and chairs would be routinely <br /> taken into the restaurant at night. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush answered that the lessee's intent is to move the <br /> tables and chairs in at night, but not the barricade. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta commented that the decision to move them in would <br /> be totally the owner's. <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler indicated that he was initially opposed to the <br /> idea of the lease because of concerns about liability and the <br /> private use of public property. He stated that the lease <br /> satisfactorily addresses those concerns. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brandes stated that he was opposed to it because it would <br /> establish a precedent of leasing public property to a private <br /> enterprise. He said that putting tables on the sidewalk would add <br /> to the parking problems in the downtown area. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer stated that he did not see a real parking problem <br /> downtown and added that this lease would do something unique to <br /> help the downtown area. He commented that Mr. Bartolomucci runs <br /> an excellent business and should be given the opportunity to try <br /> this out. He indicated that he would support the lease. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Butler, and seconded by Mr. Tarver, to <br /> approve the lease with Mr. Ray Bartolomucci (Strizzi's <br /> Restaurant). <br /> The roll call vote was as follows: <br /> AYES: Councilmembers Butler, Mohr, Tarver and Mayor Mercer <br /> NOES: Councilmember Brandes <br /> ABSENT: None <br /> ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> At this point Mr. Butler requested that Council go back to <br /> Item 8 - MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCILMEMBERS <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler stated that at the last meeting, Council <br /> considered a modification to the City's ordinance relating to <br /> satellite dishes. After some discussion, Council decided to take <br /> no action, thereby keeping the existing ordinance in place. He <br /> commented that there may be some very good reasons why the <br /> approach that was outlined may be advisable and may not in fact <br /> weaken the City's position in the lawsuit. He requested that the <br /> matter be brought back on the next Agenda for further <br /> discussion. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brandes requested that the issue be considered in full <br /> Council, and since Mr. Tarver will not be attending the next <br /> meeting, it can come to Council on the second meeting in May. <br /> <br /> - 24 - <br /> 4-17-90 <br /> <br /> <br />
