Thursday, January 22, 1981 Dovis Gets New , Hediii Director Debated A request for a CENTERVILLE beer license for a new gasoline station in Centerville got cool reception from the City Council Tuesday. Councilman Kenneth Holman told Don Mikesell, who requested the license, that Holman would like to take away all the licenses weve already given out. I have a personal feeling against beer licenses, Holman said. I would be in favor of telling him now that we wont approve one." Mikesell said he is representing the Maverick Company which plans to build a gas station near the site of a new post office on Main Street at about 100 North. Mayor Golden L. Allen said he would be in favor of waiting six months before deciding the license request, to give the post office time to get going and for us to find out if they would have any objections. Mikesell said he would rather have the council deny his request now than wait. Im not in favor of the city giving out more beer licenses either, he said. Im just representing the company and they asked me to make the request. Councilman Norman Wright said he believes Its time the council took time to sit down and decide how many beer licenses we want to give out and how many are appropriate for a city this size. Dr. Enrico A. FARMINGTON Leopardi has accepted the position of director of the Davis County Department of Health at an annual salary of $50,000 per year, plus expenses. In a letter to the Davis County Commission, Leopardi said he would accept the position contingent upon Davis County paying the annual premium for medical liability insurance and medical society dues. The dues cover the American Medical Associations state and local membership requirements. He said the reason for the two contingencies is that they pertain to the practice of medicine and the need to develop and maintain good working relationships with the medical community, which are both key aspects of the directors role. In the letter, he said it was his understanding that a travel allowance of . J Councilman Robert Arbuckle asked what hours the station would be open, noting we have our troubles with juveniles and others and beer after 10 p.m. Mikesell said the stations normally are open from 6 a.m. to 10 or 11 at night, but that the later hour would be adopted only if a number of customers f"warranted it. He said a station in Bountiful is open until 10 p.m. Arbuckle said he was not as concerned about Mikesells request as he was about the next two stations coming in and asking for licenses. If we give one to this station, we will have to do the same for all of them," he said. Councilman Dale Ford said cutting down the number of businesses with beer licenses is not going to cut down on beer consumption. We cant control how much beer is sold if we have even one outlet in the city, Ford said. Wed just be showing favoritism for one business over another. The council approved a motion by Arbuckle to table the request for one month and discuss it at the next council meeting. Arbuckle and Holman were also appointed to serve as a committee to study the issue.
