Following an involved argument in which many par-ticipated, an appeal for a cabaret license pertaining to a restaurant to be operated here was turned down by the City Council Tuesday night. Joe and Mike Delgado, who were turned down by the City Planning commission last week, were joined by several sympathizers in appealing the decision to the council. The Delgados said they were simply attempting to make their business as competitive as possible. They said a number of Mexican restaurants throughout the Salt Lake Valley have live entertainment and alcohol. The Delgado's appeal dealt strictly with the issue of whether they should be allowed to have live entertainment, which requires a cabaret license. They said they did apply for a license to sell beeer also. The Planning Commission did not deal with that issue, however, because, according to city ordinance, the restaurant would be too close to another establishment where beer is sold. The location of the restaurant, which is presently not in operation, is 7950 So. State. The Delgados said the business would be a family restaurant where dancing would be available. They said it would close by 10 p.m on weekdays and by midnight on weekends. "The building has two bars and a dance floor. It lends itself to that. It doesn't lend itself to anything else but that," Mike Delgado said. Council members reiterated concerns voiced by the Planning Commission about past problems at that location. Inadequate parking space resulting in blocked residential driveways, fights and other disruptive behavior were among the concerns mentioned. The Delgados said they were experienced businessmen and did not feel it fair to be tied in with what has taken place in the past. They added they were willing to haave security personnel man the parking lot. Lt. Dan Pearson of the Midvale Police Department then addressed the council. He said the Delgados were recently found in violation of the law because 35 people were allegedly drinking alcohol in the restaurant. He said that included four minors. In addition, Pearson said Delgado was uncooperative and misleading. "I would very strongly suggest that Mr. Delgado's appeal be denied, ". Pearson said.

He also said he wrote Utah's congressional delegation about the fact the Postal Service has not included city officials in planning the location of a new Midvale post office. He said postal officials did contact him after he wrote the senators and congressmen, but he told them his foremost concern at this stage is that the station get built, no matter where in Midvale. As to him being uncooperative and misleading, Delgado said it was not true. Councilman George Deneris then asked the Delgados if they were experienced businessmen, why did they not know they needed to have a license in order for people to drink beer in their restaurant. "Being experienced businessmen, you should have known that that was not permitted," he said. Mike Delgado said they requested such a license when they applied for their business license and from talking to acquaintances who had spoken to their lawyers, they were led to believe it was permissible on a trial basis. After Mayor Everett Dahl called 'an end to the debate, Councilman Reid Fillmore made the motion the the Delgados' appeal be denied. Councilman Ronn Cowley seconded ; the motion.

SANDY. Over the past several years, investigations into and the implementation of alternative housing patterns in the schools concerned only the elementary level of education. Yet concerned planners knew that problem would, sooner than later, grow its way into the secondary schools. That's why officials at the Jordan School District asked Ron Sing, an assistant principal at Brighton high school, to look into what options might be available at that level of education. After sifitng through what other districts, facing the same problem, have done, as well as other studies conducted within the state, Sing became convinced that there was no clear answer to solving the problem. Instead, a combination of concepts would be the best strategy. That's why he ended up with 16 final recommendations instead of the two he'd originally been asked to provide. At the top of the list, Sing recommended that a study of ways to afford technology to enhance the quality of education through foundations and grants be an process. "It would not replace the teacher," stressed Sing. In fact, Sing noted that the district should continue its efforts at allow- teacher, working with m Different Kind Of Rescue toilet bowl. Officers Dave Sanderson and Reed Scharman were called to the scene by the girl's parents who had been unable to coax the little foot from the toilet's grasp. The child had apparently climbed on the open toilet seat to reach the bathroom sink for a drink of water. She somehow slipped, forcing her foot into the small opening where it remained wedged. After bailing out the cold water, officers administered dishwashing liquid to the foot and sides of the porcelain bowl and managed to rotate the then slippery foot and free the girl. "We've been on a lot of strange medical calls," said Scharman. "Most involve problems, but this was a real unique approach." he said. The little girl and her foot are reportedly recovering nicely.

"This has been done successfully in the business world," noted Sing, "and other school districts have with it." Added to that, Sing would recommend that the district entertain a pilot project with the WICAT system m r n ing teachers to spend more time teaching. New construction would not be ruled out under Sing's recommendation. He feels two high schools should be built in the south and west areas of the district by 1991 to vocational-technic- ac- comodate the increase in growth. Alternatives to new construction could include extended day and double sessions. Sing, however, strongly recommendation that extended day or double sessions not be adopted as an extended longitudinal plan to solve student growth. A decision on the adoption of either the modified 5 or 5 education as a trimester year-roun- d 2 feeder needs to be made, according to Sing. Reflecting back on his visits to other schools and correspondence with other districts, Sing felt that concerns about the efeducation on exfect of year-roun- d tra curricular or after school activities were exaggerated. "We found that, at high school's has been tried, where year-roun- d students who are off track, simply come back to the school at the times when those activities are scheduled," he explained. could be imBefore year-roun- d plemented, however, the district would have to look into finding affordable and cost effective means to air condition buildings.

Currently, about 1,600 to 2,000 Jordan area students attend schools in the Granite District. Sing feels that should be increased. Also, a permanent iaison should be established between the two districts. At schools not impacted by more than five percent growth over the next five years, the use of portable classrooms could take care of the problem. Establishing magnet programs at schools for high risk, low motivated students, as well as gifted and talented or regional comprehensive year-roun- d coordinator to keep track of things instruction al would also help. Bridging the gap between secondary and higer education could include a "22" or collaboration concept within the district. Students could receive college credit for classes taken at the high school or high credit for classes taken at a college. Enrollment at the Jordan Tech Center should be increased from 300 to 900 students by reorganizing it into a selected enrollment centralized district comprehensive tionaltechnical high school. occupa- Sing recommended that building utilization studies be continued on a 5 year interval to chart how implemented programs are doing and to look at new alternatives. Sing was particulary concerned bout how the district will, at some future date, deal with the opposite of its current circumstances. "Where there's growth in student enrollments," Sing reported, "there will also be a decline. The district needs to keep this in mind when it looks over the above options. We don't want to get into the position of having to close schools in one area, as some districts have, while there are schools in another area that are overcrowded." 3-- PetAdsirof Scndy Did And Won Lett of Froo Mooltl (Soo dataili inside this ;.il).WP'.A'-BI.- paper.) ft" |
