E. Edinger Ave. - Original - Type "42"
On Sale Beer & Wine (Public Premises)
PROTEST - Police.
CA 146.1
Prior to the motion, Police Chief Raymond Davis explained
that because of the high concentration of ABC licensed pre-
mises and police-related incidents in the area, and in
accordance with Council policy, the protest had been lodged.
Mr. Richard Deneber, 1666 North Main Street, attorney for
the owner-landlord of the establishment known as the Half
Crown located at 1238 East Edinger Avenue, asked Council
to withdraw its protest of the ABC application for a Type
"42" On Sale Beer & Wine license. He stated that there had
been a liquor license at the location for ten years, and
that due to a technicality involving a time lapse a new
ABC application was necessary instead of a transfer applica-
tion; that the applicant had operated a business in Orange
~with a good reputation and few police problems; that the
owner would experience great financial difficulty if the
ABC license were not granted because of the Police protest.
Mr. Deneber emphasized that the ABC application was not for
a new license and is actually a transfer. Councilman
Bricken stated for the record that if a protest were war-
ranted, it would be issued regardless-of whether the applica-
tion was a new request or a transfer request.

of his criminal record revealed that he had been arrested
and convicted of a felony on April 16, 1975; that under
Santa Aha Municipal Code Section 38-22(8), an-application
for a taxicab operator's permit must be denied by the Police
Chief if the applicant has had a felony conviction during
the five year period preceding his application.

charged from the Marine Corps on September 30, 1973; that
he was now a college student; and that he was appealing the
felony conviction of April 16, 1975; and that he was now
unemployed.

application, in view of the fact that he had not listed the
conviction on his application. Mr. Walker replied that he
did understand, but knew he would not get the permit if he
listed the conviction. Mayor Garthe emphasized that the Code
is designed to protect the safety of our citizens,~and that
the!City has a responsibility to get honest people to serve
in the capacity of taxicab driver.
When the Mayor asked for any further speakers to this Appeal,
there was no response; the Mayor closed the public hearing.
