Mr. Robert Hirsh addressed the Commission, stating he and James Arlin had submitted an application for a package liquor and beer license at a location on West San Francisco and Tam Drive, where a proposed shopping center, to be known as Minute Mart is to be erected. Because their lease required them to submit plans for installations, Mr. Hirsh and Mr. Arlin requested information as to whether the Board of City Commissioners would approve their application for a liquor license, based on a favorable police report. Commissioner Sharp advised that two licenses would be available after the taking of the census, as it was estimated this would show a population of 60,000. To Commissioner Fountain's question as to how far their establishment would be located from that of Joe Julian, Mr. Hirsh replied it would be in excess of 1,000 feet. Commissioner Fountain then stated he would help Mr. Hirsh and Mr. Arlin in any way possible, but added this was not to be construed as a commitment. Commissioner Sharp advised he had received two or three calls from Modeling Agencies, complaining about the Recreation Department program on modeling, stating he did not believe the Recreation Department should compete with Modeling Agencies and he was of the opinion this matter should be investigated by the City Manager. Superintendent of Recreation Bruce Trent stated their program was known as the Charm Club and consisted of about 50 teen-agers. -0O0- 2-17-60
