Finn�'. J �/ 2: DO AM Bar Closing June 20, 2003 23 " �,N At the June 4`" City Council meeting, the Council asked me to prepare a report regarding the proposed bar closing time of 2:00 AM and its impact on law enforcement in Saint Paul. None of my district commanders haue reported that the later bar closing tnne will have a ma}or impact on their operations. All have "late start" officers who will be auailable to cover the later closing times. Ail districts wili have the flexibility to adjust their traffic caz (afternoon) starting times to deal with any problems that may arise. Tlus is simply a matter of readjusting resotuces. Patrons of drinking establishments who cause problems at 1:00 AM wili probably cause problems at 2:00 AM. The police department will provide the appropriate resources at whatever time the bars close. It is also possible that the e�tra hour will spread out the depariure of the bar crowd instead of having everyone leave en masse at 1:00 AM. The later closing time will provide additionai convention business and economic development for the hospitality and convention industries. I am happy to keep my officers busy at any time of the night or day. My recommendation is to amend Chapter 409 of the Legislative Code to pemut the sale of alcohoi until 2:00 AM by those establishments which have obtained a permit from the State of Minnesota. cc: Mayor Randy Kelly Deputy Mayor Dennis Flaherty D3 -S�� �'AINT �AUL �cea CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 401 �orth Robert Street s�;re i;o Saint Paul, Minnesota ii101 Phour. 6i1.2235000 Fas: G51123�ill9 Suburban Services Center 3262 Rice Sueet Liclle Canada, Minnesota >5126 Fhone: 6j11j6.4770 F�: G51.25G.4771 YOUR BUSINESS June 25, 2003 Councilmember Pat Harris Room 310-C City Hall Saint Paul, MN SSi02 Deaz Councilmember Harris: 1� � ��L L "`"�� �'W� GY' v"' v` �� � (. �'`, I urge you to support the 2 a.m. bar closing time for the City of Saint Paul at the council meeting this evening. The Saint Paui Area Chamber of Commerce supports policy that helps businesses in Yhe Saint PaullEast Metro area be niore competitive by promoting econoxnic growth throughout the region. In support of that principle, we want to ensure the hospitality industry in Saint Paul can continue to compete with Minneapolis. Ensuring a level playing field with the passage of this ordinance would do that. We ask that you support this ordinance citywide. Many of Saint Paul's most popular venues are not necessarily in the downtown core proposed for a ca�ve- out. Places such as O'Gara's, Tom Reid's, Vine Park Brewing Co. and ShamRock's need to compete for business just like the core downtown venues. Giving one establishment the privilege of having the choice to stay open an extra hour for business but not the other, places the city council in the unsavory position of choosing winners and losers. The better policy is to adopt an ardinance that fits city wide and allow individual operators to make the choice for their own business whether or not to stay open until2 a.m. Just like they will soon be able to do in Minneapolis. Your support of this ordinance is also important from a more global economic development perspective. Saint Paul has done a remarkable job over the last few yeazs repositioning ourselves and creating a vibrancy in our ciry that has resulted in tremendous activity in the evening hours. This image of vibrancy is important to our future efforts to attract and retain businesses and jobs in our city. Saint Paul cannot be seeu as Yhe sleepy city to the East. Again, I urge your support of the 2 a.m. bar closing time to be adopted citywide. Sincer�ly, t7" �� Larry Dowell President ADVOCATE c � a a� � g� � � i � �n � r� � � �° � � s� �rs �.� -ss� We oppose the extension of Bar Closing until2am. It will cause more police calls, more drunk driving and more problems with residential neighbozs. But if it is going to pass procedures should be placed on the establishments that choose to extend their license to mitigate some of the problems that will occur. Extending baz hours will cause more police calls, cause more disturbance even later in the night, therefore License holders should take responsibility for the privilege of later bar hours. Establishments that are within 300 feet of residential property should have securiry outside (not inside) all their exits after midnight. The security should enforce noise, loitering and other disorderly conduct issues. Bar owners are already supposed to be responsible for the orderly arrival and departure of their patrons, but are rarely held responsible for this. Security outside is a way for late night issues to be addressed immediately. At the state legislature, the proponents stated that the laCer bar time will a11ow the orderly departure of patron over the 1— 2 am serving hour. In this light of this, any new ordinance should reflect that establishments should be closed at 2am, and not allow to linger until later hours We respectfuliy request that you do not extend bar hours until2 am, but if you do, please take precaurionary action to prevent undue problems in the community. We Iso ask that you write cleu penalties so that any new ordinance can be enforced. Sign Printed Nam Address Phone �, �� � r=��ixie�y �75 Hfl�Ir Av. 551�Z �S'�.
