The hearing was set for city council consideration Jan. 14 at 6 p.m. But, Liquid Assets Inc., the parent company of both establishments, recently retained retain-ed attorney Joe Tesch for the hearing.

Until Draper addressed the council, it had been considering extending the hours of the Main St. trolley or providing bus service on a schedule matching that in the rest of Park City. The first alternative would have cost $6,000 and the second $2,700 for the rest of the winter season. The new proposal, which was agreed to by Park City Ski Area representative represen-tative Wayne Matthews at Thursday's meeting, is to extend only the 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. downtown bus runs far enough to pick up customers at upper up-per Main St. They will arrive at upper Main "somewhere around 8: 15 and 9: 15," said Draper, and throw off the scheduling only slightly.

Carter added that the purpose of the scheduled hearing on the issue before city council members Jan. 21 is to "hear why or why not the licenses should be revoked and decide on appropriate action. Anything is possible," he noted. "The council has broad discretion in deciding what it will do." Senator's Cup fees waived Whether to waive the $800 in security costs to cover the Senator's Cup activities this weekend occupied much of the city council agenda Thursday. Thurs-day. In the end, despite City Manager Arlene Loble's admonition to deal with waiving fees as a general policy which cost the city money, council members voted unanimously to bear the $800. Lobel noted that $500 of the cost would be an "out of pocket expense" which would be paid to the University of Utah for extra security coverage, since all Park City police would be occupied with Film Festival duties. Police Chief Frank Bell noted all other event sponsors repay the city for extra charges associated with security, except for Autumn Aloft. ChamberBureau representative Jay Bundy argued the proceeds for the event would all go to charity the Primary Children's Center, and so the fee should be waived. The council apparently agreed, but did move to consider a general policy statement on fee waivers. Liquor licenses renewed Seventy-six beer and liquor licenses in Park City were renewed for 1988 by city council members Thursday. ' One, held jointly by the Alamo and The Club, was extended to Jan. 21 at midnight. A hearing on whether or not to revoke that license will be held on Jan. 21.

Planner Suzanne Mclntyre told the Record day glow neon window win-dow signs, canvas, changeable copy banners and sidewalk -advertisers framed in flashing lights are cropping up all over the city. Most, if not all, are illegal under the sign code. But all must first be reviewed and permitted by the planning department. It's a simple process, she said. The business need only fill out an application and submit it for review. Mclntyre noted the city would be sending letters to all the violaters this week to let them know the relevant policies.

Council member Ann MacQuoid, who is a member of the U.S. Film Festival board, said it might be appropriate to consider charging customers in the future, but not one week before this year's festival opens. "They've advertised free ridership," she noted. MacQuoid also took the opportunity to inform the council that the festival brought between 30,000 and 35,000 visitors to Park City last year. "And pre-ticket sales have doubled this year," she added. She also dispelled a rumor that the Sundance Institute, which sponsors the festival, was considering another location for it. "Mr. Redford and Sundance do not want to move from Park City," she said. "They are very very pleased with Park City."
