Bar Continued From Page 1A proval or amending on Nov. 13. The council has 90 days to approve the ordinance. Council member Mary Voss asked what this would do to the Oktoberfest. Jackson said the ordinance was not final and can be amended, and he said he would add a section with specific "lingo" for rules applying to the festival.

Voss also asked how they would know whether they would be in time to stop the proposed bar from moving into its possible location. Mayor John Burkhart said the proposed bar has to get all its permits through the state, and he said the bar hasn't received anything other than a two-way license to serve alcohol. He said this would give them some time to pass the ordinance, but Jackson said he wants to speed things along to prevent the bar from coming to the area. Council members Woodrow DeZarn and Jeff Joray were concerned about restaurants that serve alcohol. Jackson said such restaurants would have to get a variance to be able to serve alcohol.

"A variance would allow them to serve alcoholic beverages within 1,000 feet of schools, churches, parks or other taverns," Jackson said, noting the Zoning Board of Appeals can approve or disapprove, of a variance. "They have every right to say, 'We don't want this. This doesn't fit the criteria for the type of business we want in this location," he added. Jackson said this ordinance only affects the downtown central business district. "We are not limiting them from going somewhere else in Seymour," he said.

Burkhart said another bar in the downtown area would not help the town grow, and it would possibly prevent merchants from investing money in the area. "This the only creative way to control these issues, and that is to put the rule in place and grant variances as this community feels like are deserved," he said. "This will not be the kind of bar we want. It will fit in well with the tattoo parlor and topless bar." If the ordinance IS passed, then it will be in THE TRIBUNE, SEYMOUR, IND.

Violation of the ordinance, if passed, can result in a suit for injunction and possible criminal prosecution. A person in violation could face 30 days' imprisonment and a fine of $1,000. Council member Lloyd Hudson asked the fine be amended to $1,000 per day to give it more teeth. Also, Seymour Police Chief Jack Hauer came before the council meeting to ask that money be taken out of the Unappropriated General Fund, which is any money left over from the amount of money all city departments are able to spend for the year, and appropriate it into the police department equipment fund. "If you have any money left, you have to get it appropriated," Fred Lewis, clerk-treasurer, said.

Council members voted in favor of an appropriation of $26,950 to go to the police fund. The money came from selling of police surplus equipment, particularly six used cruisers. Hauer told council members his department is in the process of ordering 36 Benelli brand shotguns and 36 rack adapters. The 12 gauge, semi-automatic shotguns can carry up to eight "The shotguns are more in-line with what modern law enforcement is using," he said. Hauer said six of the shotguns they presently have are six years old and another half dozen are at least 15-17 years old.

"We would like to replace all of them at once so everyone has the same equipment, and they're all trained to use the same equipment," he said. The shotguns they have now will be sold to Jenkins, a law enforcement agency in Indianapolis, and the police department will receive a $3,975 line of credit for purchase of future equipment. Lewis said the request to appropriate the funds for the police department has to pass, another reading held by the city council on Oct. 23, and then it must go before the state board tax commissioners for their approval before the police department gets the money.
