ON-SALE LIQUOR LICENSE FOR EAGANDALE CLUB
Mr. Graham Gurr, who is the general partner of the Eagandale Racquet
Club, appeared and introduced Mr. William Hickey as the Bar Manager and person
who would be listed as the licensee for the on-sale liquor license. Mayor Blom-
quist was concerned that the liquor license holder be a responsible person and
further that City Ordinance #42 suggests that the liquor licensee be a managing
partner whenever a liquor license is granted to an establishment owned by a
partnership. Mr. Gurr explained that he is presently an Australian citizen
and is filing for United States citizenship. He further informed the City Coun-
cil that Mr. William Hickey is a responsible person and that he would be the
liquor license holder on a temporary basis until his citizenship is approved.
Mr. Gurr then stated that he would apply for the on-sale liquor license as the
managing partner of the Eagandale Club. After further discussion on the matter,
in a motion by Smith, seconded by Egan, with all members voting in favor, a
variance to Section 42.04 (3) of the on-sale liquor license ordinance, #42,
was approved by granting a liquor license in the name of the Eagandale Racquet
Club to Mr. William E. Hickey on a temporary basis until Mr. Graham Gurr,
managing partner, is granted United States citizenship.
