MEMORANDUM

TO:
The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Bricktown
Police Chief Kim Wadding and I met today with Greg Prem and Scott Neuwoehner,
owners of Bricktown, to discuss the City staff recommendation for a six-month liquor
license renewal as opposed to the standard 12-month renewal.
Chief Wadding and I believe that Mr. Neuwoehner and Mr. Prehm are sincerely
committed to improving their compliance at Bricktown over the next year.
I respectfully request that Bricktown be issued the standard 12-month liquor license.

FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Bricktown Liquor License Renewal
As you consider the renewal of the Bricktown Liquor License, Chief of Police Kim
Wadding has provided information about the 155 calls for service at this facility,
excluding the 26 tavern inspections, between June 1,2004 and May 25,2005.
These 155 calls for service included 15 disturbance calls and 14 public morals calls,
which includes intoxicated persons and public urination. There were 99 criminal
charges filed, including 33 public intoxications, 32 with persons being in the
establishment underage after 9:00 p.m., 26 possession of alcohol while under the legal
age, seven disorderly conducts and one assault with a dangerous weapon.
Chief Wadding is not recommending any punitive action at this time, however, he is
recommending that Bricktown be issued only a six-month license renewal, so the City
does not need to wait 12 months before a review of their license is required before the
City Council.
I respectfully request that Bricktown be issued a six-month liquor license renewal.

Police Chief
Re: Bricktown - Liquor License Renewal
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the memorandum is to update the police calls for service regarding
Bricktown, 299 Main Street, and to explore consideration of issuing a six-month liquor
license.
BACKGROUND
The police department continues to experience a number of calls for service related to
the operation of Bricktown 299 Main Street in comparison to other liquor establishments
in the community. The following is a brief comparison summary from June 1, 2004 to
May 25, 2005.
Bricktown 155 15 14
Pia ers 79 22 5
Busted Lift 48 6 5
Bodines* 48 8 5
Knickers 42 9 3
Lux Club 30 12 0
Jumpers 20 2 0
Fat Tuesda 's 10 3 1
*Bodines - No longer in business as of May 5, 2005
For the past three years, the police department has met with owners, Scott A.
Neuwoehner and Greg A. Prehn regarding the ongoing concerns. In those meetings,
Scott Neuwoehner and Greg Prehn have stressed their willingness to work to reduce
the incidents of concern.
DISCUSSION
For the period June 1,2004 to May 25,2005 Bricktown had 155 calls for service (CFS).
Of those calls requiring the response of two or more police officers, there were 15
disturbances and 14 public morals (intoxicated persons/public urination and possession
of a controlled substance). There were 99 criminal charges filed, including 33 public
intoxications, 32 with persons being in the establishment after 9:00 P.M., 26 possession
of alcohol while under the legal age, seven disorderly conducts, and one with assault
with a dangerous weapon.
Currently, there are three pending municipal infractions for Cooper Management
(Bricktown) regarding allowing persons under the legal age to remain in the
establishment after 9:00 P.M. issued February 2, February 17 and March 31,2005.
Additionally one citation has been issued to an employee for selling or dispensing
alcoholic beverages after closing issued March 31,2005.
RECOMMENDATION
In reviewing this information I contacted Judy Sieb, Iowa Alcoholic and Beverages
Division 1918 S.E. Hulsizer Road, Ankeny, Iowa, regarding options available to
heighten awareness. To enhance an ongoing review process, an option available is to
issue the liquor license for a shorter duration than one year. Liquor licenses are issued
in increments of 5-day, 14-day, six months, eight months and one-year (annual). The
annual liquor license is the only license that is renewable; all others go through the
original application process.
There is no additional cost or penalty to the business for the different license periods.
With this type of option available, we recommend Cooper Management (Bricktown) for a
six-month liquor license. The six-month liquor license creates an additional time for City
Council review to assess the type and frequency of future calls for service.
ACTION REQUESTED
For City Council consideration to issue a six-month liquor license to Cooper
Management (Bricktown) to allow an additional time for City Council review of the type
and frequency of future calls for service.
