City staff outlines new non-objection process for liquor transfers; Socialite Cafe transfer reported with no police objection
Summary
City staff described a proposed new non-objection process for liquor-permit renewals and transfers and said the Socialite Cafe at Castle Hills Clubhouse had no police objections to a planned transfer; staff said the police chief would request a hearing if concerns arose.
City legal/administrative staff (identified in the transcript as Mr. Alouse) recommended moving to a non-objection process to handle liquor permit renewals and transfers instead of routinely initiating legislative hearings. "What I'd recommend is we simply advise council at a study session. The police chief does not recommend a hearing. Thus, there's no legislative action required unless the police chief would recommend having a hearing with liquor control," Mr. Alouse said.
The transcript shows the specific transfer under discussion is for the Socialite Cafe at Castle Hills Clubhouse, described as moving a liquor license from a golf-pro-listed license to the Socialite Cafe name; staff said there were no objections from the police department in the record. The study-session transcript does not record a formal council vote; staff said the new process would limit council hearings to cases where the police department requests a hearing.
The transcript contains a place-name variant "Andelia" when describing the city in this item; that spelling is inconsistent with the jurisdiction named elsewhere in the record and should be verified against official city documents.
