Councilmen Paul McPherson and Bob Steele opposed the issuance of the license because minors work at the cafe. Even though the minors would not be serving liquor, the councilmen thought that the workers should not be exposed to the cabarets atmosphere. Another problem in issuing the license is that Nephi does not now have a separate cabaret license. It is combined with a tavern license and dancing in taverns is prohibited by Nephi ordinance. The council tabled the license matter until the possibility of separating the cabaret license from the tavern license can be explored.
