BETHEA: Uh-huh. <br /> IBARRA : Members shall appointed to the mayor. . .by the mayor <br /> and confirmed by Council and may be removed. . . <br /> BETHEA : So that ' s the general section that applies to all. . . <br /> IBARRA: Boards and commissions. 13-4, page 27. <br /> JUVIK : Excuse me excuse me!, gentlemen. I appreciate your <br /> comments on the commissions. I'm familiar with what goes on in <br /> the Water Commission. What is the Liquor. . .Liquor Control <br /> Commission? What does the commission have to do? <br /> IBARRA : Well, the Liquor. . .they approve licenses. <br /> JUVIK : This is the director? <br /> IBARRA : Yeah. Licenses. Liquor licenses. <br /> JUVIK : The commission itself? <br /> IBARRA : Yes. The director processes the application and <br /> presents it (inaudible) . And the commission will act on the <br /> licenses, whether to grant or deny, ! pursuant to state law again. <br /> See Liquor is again. . .is like Civil Service ; they have to follow <br /> state law. As far as the elements necessary to be found in order <br /> for a license to. . .to be given a license. <br /> JUVIK : That ' s what I thought, so, I mean their. . . Aren ' t <br /> they more or less constrained? I mean , do they actually have much <br /> power? Or does that mean they can vote down the liquor license if <br /> they don ' t like it, even though state (inaudible) . <br /> IBARRA : Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Certainly, a lot of <br /> times. . .even though the statute prescribes certain requirements <br /> that they must follow before they can grant the license. Lot of <br /> times these statutes are open for construc. . .interpretation and <br /> the Liquor Commission, just like yourself , we all can interpret <br /> things differently and , rarely , unless there ' s an abuse of <br /> discretion, rarely will the Court overrule that , even though the <br /> Court may not agree , unless it ' s clearly erroneous and an abuse of <br /> discretion. So, I 'm saying the Liquor. Commission looks at the <br /> elements required for a license to be granted , you know, the <br /> minimum square footage. Some are definite. And, of course , hold <br /> public hearings , take public input , before making the final <br /> decision. But once they make the decision and certainly, we ' re <br /> all human beings, they may make it in error, and then the <br /> petitioner ' s recourse is to appeal that to the Circuit Court. You <br /> know, to get the decision reversed. <br /> L 'ORANGE : Entertainment permits also? <br /> 42 <br />
