Hi! Due to the fact that I just recieved the email today, I won't be able to attend the meeting. Being at
work, I was only able to quickly scan the document. I just wanted to mention that I do serve food, and I
have my closing posted as nine, but sometimes it takes a bit longer to allow the customers to finish. I
would like to see the hours extended till ten if possible.
Sincerely,
Christina Branesky

Hi Christina,
I just wanted to update you on the text amendment that we're processing to City code that is proposed to
allow businesses such as yours to offer servings of wine/beer for purchase by the bottle or glass. I've
attached a copy of the staff report that I've prepared for the hearing tomorrow night (7/21). If you would
like to submit any comments (for or against) on the proposed amendment, please submit those prior to
the hearing tomorrow night.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,

Hi Sonya,
Thank you very much for keeping me in the loop on the new City code. All of the codes
you have look good except for one. The serving of beer/wine time frame.
-4-3-44
RETAIL STORE. WINE AND BEER SALES AND SERVINGS:
A. The applicant shall maintain a current wine and beer sales permit for on premise consumption
includes retail sales). Liquor sales shall be prohibited.
B. Applicant shall comply with all state, county, and local laws regarding serving alcohol, including b
limited to designating specific areas for consumption and postina such areas as age-restricted.
C. Wine and beer servings shall be limited to the following time periods: 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
I am aksing for the time period to change from 9:OOpm to 10:OOpm for serving. The
reason for this is that on the third Thursday of the month we have our Educational
Wine Classes from 7:30pm - 9:OOpm. Trying to get people out of here at 9:OOpm is not
always easy. Also during the Holidays we have had people ask to have a Christmas get
together here. Again, trying to close at 9:OOpm becomes difficult. So if you would
consider this proposal it would be greatly appreciated. As you know, I am NOT A BAR
and never will be, but in some instances that extra hour would be helpful!
Thank you for your consideration. If you have questions please let me know.
Sincerely,
Ilene Dudunake
