Councilman Brown stated that the Council needed to look at this particular item very closely and that they had had over 50 police calls in the last year. He felt the Council needed to talk to the management at the place to see how they operate this business. Councilman Dhority stated that it was a definite improvement over the past year in police calls at this location. He stated that this was a young-person hang-out which does not produce an ideal situation to control. Chief Clasby stated that he felt the Leaning Tower of Pizza was fairly well managed, and he felt that young people would group in one area whenever 3.2 beer is available there. It is easier for the police department to control one location than to have them spread out over the whole city. 'nte management at the Leaning Tower has been very cooperative with the police. I I I I I I I I -2- Councilman Brown inquired as to whether the place is being operated properly. Chief Clasby stated that he would rather have them call the police than hide the problems. Councilman Blessing stated that he felt it was a repeat of last year and the Council needed to ask why. He questioned whether the Council could suspend the license for a month or so. City Attorney Berardini stated that the Council could call the owner in to show cause as to why the license should not be revoked. Chief Clasby stated that the problem was not getting worse at that location. City Manager Dial questioned whether the problem could be reduced if that type of business is still maintained at that location. Chief Clasby stated that he did not feel so. Councilwoman Henning stated that a suspension would just move the problem elsewhere. She felt that a suspension or a revoking of this license would penalize the teenagers who are using it properly. Councilman Dhority stated that apparently the kids are spirited individuals and it was really just a matter of where they let their spirit out in the City.

City Manager Dial stated that there was a deferral period on current buildings in the City. He had met with the Chamber of Commerce Director, Mr. Peterson, and given him all the information concerning this inmediately following the previous Council meeting. As of this date, they have received no conments from the business conununity in the negative. Chief Clasby appeared before Council. He stated that burglary offenses have increased across the nation at a 7% rate over the last ten years. Oakland, California currently has a dead- bolt lock ordinance of this sort. Tiley have never had to take action to force businesses to comply with it. They have decreased in crime every year since it was put into effect in 1964. Businesses contacted attempted some sort of burglary protection. The City of Englewood had 130 burglaries in the period January 1 through September 20, 1973. Fifty-two of them were from door access, while 4 7 were through windows. An additional 63 burglaries were in multiple family dwellings, and 21 through windows and 24 through doors.

City Manager Dial stated that this particular vacation is a separate matter from the Master Street Plan. When it was brought up originally, it was linked to the Master Street Plan because the benefiting property would need to vacate some land under the Master Street Plan on Yale. He stated that he had previously transmitted to Council that the need in the Yale area would be for a 30-foot right-of-way, which does not affect the need for vacation of the radius. Council could defer or not defer this at their pleasure. Mr. Glen M:>or e appeared before Council. He stated that his firm was contemplating the purchase of this property. Tite vacation of the radius is entirely different and separate from the 30-foot vacation necessary for a street right-of-way. Mr. Ken Fairchild stated that the City Engineer has recommended this vacation and questioned whether it was legal for the Council to require a switch of property. City Attorney Berardini stated that it was. Councilwoman Henning inquired whether the owners were willing to vacate the 30-foot right-of-way on Yale. Mr. Glen Moore replied in the negative, stating that it would jeopardize the other property owners in the area, in their case, if they chose not to vacate. COUNCILMAN BLESSING MOVED AND COUNCILMAN BROWN SECONDED A K>TION TO REMOVE FROM THE TABLE A DISCUSSION OF AN ORDINANCE ON FINAL READING VACATING A PORTION OF TIIE STREET RIGHT- OF-WAY AT THE INTERSECTION OF SOtrm ZUNI AND COLLEGE. City Clerk Nollenberger stated that it had not been tabled at a previous meeting, but only informally deferred. Councilman Blessing withdrew his motion. City Attorney Berardini stated that it was essential to have right-of-way over the necessary street width in order to erect fire hydrants and signs. When the City vacates right-of-way, they are saying that they do not need the land that is there for any other use. Councilwoman Henning stated that she was unhappy that the owners were not willing t o negotiate, but in order to show good faith by the City, she felt the ordinance ought to be passed.
