BEST BEST & KRIEGr LLP Tom Thanopolous Olympia Grill & Lounge, Inc. March 16, 1999 Page 2 According to Mr. Ragels, you submitted an application for your advertising sign and that review of the sign was pending before the Development Review Committee at the time of our meeting. We understand that in the meantime your advertising sign has been approved by the Community Development Director. According to Mr. Ragels, you have submitted an application for a dance permit to the City Clerks office and the Community Development Department is preparing a staff report so that this application may be reviewed by the City Council at its meeting on March 16, 1999. After confirming the status of the above items, we engaged in a discussion of the following: We confirmed that your building has a maximum occupancy of 261 people. You indicated that you would always have at least one guard for every 50 people in the club and that you would always have two guards no matter how many people are in the club, if the club is open for dancing on the dance floor. For purposes of determining when the business is open for dancing, the City would consider whether a DJ is playing music and whether strobe lights or other dance fighting is on. We agreed that there may be instances in which customers of the club engage in impromptu dancing to regular CD's that are being played over the music system and that the two -guard requirement would not apply in these circumstances. It was decided that you would use your best judgment in determining when three guards or more are required on busy nights and that you would be open to discussing the security needs from time to time with the Police Department representative. We further agreed that all guards on duty at the club must be certified and must have on their person at all times their "guard cards" from the California Department of Consumer Affairs. Under no cararnrstances whatsoever, shall you use any guards which do not carry such guard cards. We agreed that prior to the opening of the club and on a monthly basis thereafter, you will provide the Chief of Police or his designee with a fist of all guards which may be assigned to the club during that mouth. According to . Mr. Ragels, you have obtained the necessary reciprocal parking agreements in order to provide more parking spaces for your club. These agreements shall be executed in recordable form, and shall be provided to the City Clerk for recordation with the County at the expense of the club. We agreed that you would have a guard in a motorized golf cart patrolling RVPUBWtCdNI6
