City M nager McCown pre sented a request for various annual license
renewals with respective police call reports attached. City Manager McCown
pointed out to the Council that the South Door a 3.2 disco, has had over
th irty calls this year; however, the South Door appears to be a well run
establishr.:ent with responsible owners. City Manager Mccown stated that the
Police Chief feels that the South Door operators have done an excellent job
in controlling the premises and have been ve-ry cooperative in reporting any
disturbances.
Councilman Brown stated that it might be advisable to invite the
ownera to appear before Council and confer on resolutions to reduce the
nwnber of calls.
Councilman Smith stated that he concurred with Councilman Brown;
however, the South Door is not up for renewal at this time.
COUNCILMAN BROWN K>VED THAT THE COUNCIL REQUEST THE MANAGEMJ!JiT
OF THE SOUTH OOOR BE R~UIRED TO APPEAR BEFORE COUNCIL TO DISCUSS SOLUTIONS
TO REDUCE THE NUMBER or CALLS AND INCIDENTS AT THEIR PLACE OF BUSINESS.
Councilman Smith seconded the motion.
Ma¥or Taylor asked the Council to consider the reports and the fact
that the people who call are usually the owners themselves and are only tcying
to enforce the rules.
Councilman Mann expressed concern about pre-judging the place on the
nl.Ullber of reports simply because the owners are doing their job by calling
the police when disturbances happen.
Councilman Smith .stated that bringing in an owner to discuss a
problem is not detrimental to him because Council only wants .to relay its concern
as to why the place has so ma~ calls.
Mayor Taylor stated that Council does not want to discourage the
owners from calling the police.
Councilman Sovern suggested that Council request a report from
Chief Holmes inclusive with a resolution on how to reduce the nwnber of
incidents recommending whether the resolution be carried out legislatively
or administratively. CounciJman Sovern further suggested that if the Police
Department decides that t h ey can handle the problem administratively then
Council would r efrain fr om b etti n further involved. If the Police Department
deci de s the prob l em s h oul be h . l ed l eg islatively then Council would get

Mayor Taylor stated for the benefit of the press that the passage
of the resolution does not jeporadize the City's bond rating and again does
not obligate the City.
In response to a question from the press concerning how long have I
industrial bonds been allowed for issuance, Councilman Smith answered th~
question at length, elaborating on the purpose of industrial bonds and on why
Porter's hospital has requested the City's help, reciting certain facts
and figures interjectionally.
Councilman Brown asked Councilman Smith to withdraw his statement
regarding the occupancy rate since the representative from Porters present
at the study session had mentioned several hospitals with different figures
and he thought Councilman Smith's last statement was inaccurate.
Councilman Smith refused to withdraw such statement as he felt he was
correct in reciting the figures.
Councilman Brown asked the chair to rule on this issue since the
Council did not have the actual figures before them.
Mayor T81'lor ruled that the statement be withdrawn from the records
stating that the statement was not pertinent to the resolution itself.
Councilman Smith objected to the withdrawal stating that the
statement was an open connent and he felt there was no reason for the
chair to strike any connent he might make based on the challenge of
another Council member.
Councilman Brown .apologized for bring the issue forth.
Ma¥or T81'lor stated that the main purpose for the discussion of the
resolution was to clarif7 to the press that the City of Englewood was not floating
a $20,000,000 bond issue.

Mayor Taylor pres e nted a resolution that had been prepared by the
CONSENSll) group in Englewood regarding a proposed annexation of a certain
parcel of land by the City o f She ridan. In essence, Mayor Taylor, explained
that CONSENSUS wants the City Cou ncil of Englewood to be aware of the I-2 I
zoning possibility, the attenda nt undesirous businesses this zoning allows
and that CONSENSUS requests that the City of Sheridan and the City of
Englewood work together on an agreement for the land use of this area that
would promote good public welfare for both conununities.
Mayor Taylor asked that Mr. Larry Nowacki appear before Council
as representative of CONSENSUS and to answer &JV' questions that the Council
might have.
Mr. Larry Nowacki stated CONSENSUS is concerned over this proposed
annexed parcel ot land and the repercussions that might happen if the zoning
is I-2. Mr. Nowacki stated that pending legal cases involving this land
could be dismissed; i.e. the car shredder case. Mr. Nowacki further stated
that if heavy industries are allowed by the City of Sheridan,plans for cleaning
up the area would be hampered. Mr. Nowacki requested that the Council meet
with the Council of Sheridan to reach a mutual agreement on the :f'uture
development of the parcel ot land.
Councilman Sovern stated that the City Council was planning to meet
with the Sheridan City Council after the first of the year; however, he thought
a meeting within the next few weeks was in order to discuss the deliverance
of municipal services and the level of services Englewood would provide before
Sheridan got too tar involved in the annexation process.
Mayor Taylor connented that the Council certainly needs to meet with
the City of Sheridan on the zoning decisions of this land.
Mayor Tqlor assured Mr. Nowacki that the Council would keep his
group informed on this matter.
