DISCUSSION/ACTION

Discussion on the Cabaret License Ordinance

Councilmember Wood expressed an interest in identifying a monetary amount for services within theresolution that would trigger action on behalf of the City to recoup some of the costs for city services inresponding to incidents.

Councilmember Hewitt stated that he believes the purpose of the ordinance to be to define what isordinary versus what is extraordinary when the City is responding to calls for service.

Councilmember Hewitt questioned if a dollar figure is necessary or if we can rely on the Chief of Policeand Fire to determine what that threshold is through a policy.

Councilmember Wood questioned how many officers expended at one site would be consideredextraordinary.

Captain Hall stated that this is a big concern to him and to the Lansing Police Department when he has tosend out seven officers and one command officer.

Councilmember Wood questioned if the Lansing Fire Department files a follow up report following anincident.

Chief Cochran stated that there would be a hospital report if their services were needed. It would takeapproximately 15 to 30 minutes to produce the report. He does not have an average time that it takes todeal with specific responses ahead of time, as it would differ each time.

Mr. Smith suggested that Council request a detailed report of costs from the Administration that could beincluded as part of the record and findings of fact underlying the cabaret ordinance and the anticipatedresolution. This piece could wait until after the ordinance is in place.

Councilmember Wood requested that next years Committee on Public Safety continue working on theresolution to accompany the cabaret ordinance and make it applicable.
