LEGISLATIVE REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT - GAMES OF AMUSEMENT
APPLICATIONS

view Committee, presented the Legislative Review Committee minutes

view Committee questioned the Chief of Police with regard to the

created any major police problem and was not certain on how to
enforce any proposed ordinance. Chairman Strickler stated that
the Legislative Review Committee discussed with a representative
from the Unified School District on the District's position con-
cerning the game machines. The School's representative stated
that the School District objects to having these machines located
near schools and presented information on what he saw as particular
problem areas. Also discussed was the legality establishing and
enforcing the proposed ordinance to limit game machines. (23)
The Legislative Review Committee agreed that the most effec-
tive and productive method to resolving this problem would be
handling the problem areas as they arose. The Committee recom-
mended that no changes be made in the existing ordinance dealing
with the location of games of amusement and allow the Police De-
partment and School District time to implement and evaluate their
informal program.

Committee, answered questions.

that would limit the hours of operation of game machines.

PUBLIC HEARING - RESCIND DINE AND DANCE PERMIT - MICHAEL
AND PAUL GOEHRING - THE GROVE - 1353 NORTH "E" STREET
This is the time and place set for a public hearing to de-
termine if the dine and dance permit issued to Michael and Paul
Goehring for The Grove should be temporarily suspended or per-
manently revoked due to continuing violations of laws and or-
dinances and non-conformance with the conditions of approval re-
quired as a condition to issuance of the dine and dance permit.
(54)
Mayor Holcomb opened the hearing.
Susan Hopkins, Deputy City Attorney, gave a history of the
events leading up to a public hearing on whether the dine and
dance permit for The Grove at 1353 North "E" Street, should be
suspended or revoked as recommended by the Chief of Police.
In a memorandum dated January 21, 1983, Police Chief Ben
Gonzales stated that on October 12, 1982 his office received an
application for a dine and dance permit from Michael and Paul
Goehring. After investigation by his officers that disclosed
many violations of laws and ordinances, the Police Chief recom-
mended that the application be denied. The application was denied
by the Mayor and Council on December 6, 1982. On December 9,
1982, the dine and dance application was reconsidered and approved
subject to the following five conditions:
1. That a special officer and matron be in attendance
at all times that dancing is permitted.
.
2. That the special officer and matron wear distinc-
tive nonpolice type uniforms approved by the Chief
of Police.
3. That the special officer and matron be persons with
previous law enforcement experience.
4. That sufficient lighting and security be present
to prevent parking lot problems and such as public
drinking, drug sales or other disturbances of the
public peace.
5. That the policy adopted by The Grove as "company
policy as to employee's duty", be strictly en-
forced by applicants.
The Police Chief further stated in his memorandum that his
office conducted investigations on January 8 and 19, 1983 where
officers observed obvious non-compliance with the listed condi-
tions.
.
The City Clerk swore in all those present to testify.
- 24 -

.
.
.
The following presented testimony on behalf of the City of
San Bernardino: Officer Michael Grzonka, Officer Michael Potts
and Detective David Snell.
San Bernardino Police Officer Michael Grzonka, Officer
Michael Potts and Detective David Snell testified as to what
they witnessed at The Grove during their investigations con-
ducted on January 8, January 19, and February 17, 1983.
The investigations resulted in the issuance of citations for
the consumption of alcohol by minors. In addition, the officers
observed non-compliance with the listed conditions imposed by the
Mayor and Council on December 9, 1982. Among these violations
were: the failure to have a matron present at all times during
operating hours, the security guards were not wearing the dis-
tinctive, non-police type uniforms approved by the Chief of
Police, and the special officer and matron did not have previous
law enforcement experience.
Attorney Milton Dawson, 330 North "D" Street, was present
to represent the owners of The Grove, Michael and Paul Goehring.
Attorney Dawson asked questions of each of the Police Officers
as they testified.
. Susan Hopkins, Deputy City Attorney, gave a summary of the
testimony and the violations.
The following testified on behalf of the owners of The
Grove: Paul Goehring, owner, Kimberly Droess, matron, and
David McCullum, security guard.
Chief Ben Gonzales was also called to testify regarding a
meeting he had had with Paul Goehring.
The Police Chief explained why he recommended that the dine
and dance permit be suspended or revoked.
The Mayor and Council discussed the conditions of approval.
Council Member Marks made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Hernandez and unanimously carried, to find that all con-
ditions of approval, except Condition No.2, have been violated.
.
Council Member Quiel made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Marks and unanimously carried, that the testimony did not
provide sufficient evidence to find a violation of Condition of
Approval No.2.
Allen Briggs, Assistant City Attorney, answered questions
of the Council stating that it would be proper for the Council
to consider prior violations, those that were presented at the
first public hearing on The Grove.
Police Chief Ben Gonzales recommended denial of the dine
and dance permit as this would prohibit 18 to 21 year olds from
entering The Grove.
The Mayor and Council agreed to continue the hearing to an

p.m., in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 300 North "D" Street,
