In reference to the current Agenda Item C-3 concerning the agreemen t
between Achievement House and the city I commend Achievement Hous e
for taking the initiative of opening a food and beverage establishment wher e
no one else would dare for decades . My only objection is the requiremen t
that Achievement House obtain a beer and wine license . There ar e
numerous restaurants throughout the city that are able to attract clientel e
without alcoholic beverages . As this will be a training facility for th e
physically and mentally handicapped will they all be capable o f
comprehending the current liquor sales laws to minors? With this regulation
in the agreement knowing the workers who will be training at thi s
establishment does the city really feel they can escape liability if liquor i s
sold to underage patrons? Will the employees be able to handle patrons wh o
imbibe to much? Should they be required to? Patrons are not allowed t o
drink in other city facilities, why here? Considering this is directly accros s
from Laguna Middle School and a training facility for the handicapped,I
feel a more family friendly menu and atmosphere should be encouraged t o
attract local neighbors and the after school crowd .
Given the location and purpose of the restaurant I believe the beer and win e
would be more of a detriment than a benefit . I would encourage you t o
delete the requirement for a liquor license to sell beer and wine from th e
agreement .
I did not notice it in the agreement but I hope Achievement House does no t
have to get approval of its menu from anyone at the golf course or city hal l
as this requirement it what has spelled disaster for the restaurant in the ne w
county buildin g
