MINUTES OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
OCTOBER 22, 2001
INFORMATION:
1. Liquor Control Board (LCB) Proposed Rule Changes
Planning Director Krauss advised the new LCB policy changes are 180° from what staffwas told previously. He
mentioned problems with the Jade restaurant and the LCB not accepting Auburn's input based upon police reports.
Economic Development Manager Hicks said the LCB is shifting emphasis to community enforcement, work with
licensees, program of education with licensees to understand/implement rules, education to correct problems,
reducing penalties to licensees. It will be interesting to see how the new rules work with local government; most
licensees work to comply with the rules. However, a number of licensees attempt to thwart the rules or engage in
unlawful activities. Small establishments say they are being treated differently. Staff raised concerns related to
enforcement in the community, and who is the LCB customer? The new policies appear to be a step backward.
Mayor mentioned that LCB has new members and has hired an administrative director. Economic Development
Manager Hicks mentioned local issues and LCB going through a protracted period of working with the licensee.
The new policies have already started. Councilmember Poe acknowledged the problem of so many establishments
so close together.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Councilmember Poe referred to a letter received from Alan Keimig regarding traffic impact fees. Planning Director
Krauss commented that the traffic impact fee ordinance is in the process of being amended.
With no further items to come before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 4:15 p.m.
