Minutes of Workshop Session
held Thursday, September 14, 1995
Village Attorney George Baldwin reviewed the revised ordinance draft, which includes
new language prohibiting display or exposure of specified anatomical areas in any
commercial establishment where alcoholic beverages are, or are available to be sold,
dispensed, consumed, possessed or offered for sale or consumption on the premises.
Mr. Baldwin offered various additional regulations which he thought the Council might
want to consider, as follows: 1) requirement that any adult entertainment business must
divulge criminal acts within 5 years (based on secondary effects law); 2) require names
and/or aliases of employees; 3) require maintenance of a 3-foot distance between a
dancer and any patron (this would include putting money in a garter belt) -this would
require local enforcement, since it is not included in the County's Adult Entertainment
Code; 4) limit exposure of breasts and buttocks. Mr. Baldwin stated that items 1 and 2
would not require regulatory authority by the Village, however items 3 and 4 go beyond
the County's Code and would require enforcement by the Village.
The Village Council directed that items 1 and 2 be incorporated into the draft and sent
to the Planning Commission as soon as possible. Further, a request will be made to the
County Commissioners through Commissioner Marcus to incorporate items 3 and 4 into
*~ the County's Adult Entertainment Code. Mr. Baldwin recommended that the Council go
forward immediately with the revised draft as it is written now to get it on books, and to
continue with additional amendments as necessary. The Village Council forwarded the
current draft to the Planning Commission for their review and recommendation, and
directed that the first two amendments be considered in their deliberations.
