Monica
Thank you for the notice. We at LGBG appreciate the outreach. However, I wanted to make sure that you
know that May 5th is one of the most significant evenings of the year in the food, beverage and
entertainment industry. It will be extremely difficult for people in the industry to attend a 7pm meeting
on that night. I don't know if there is anyway to defer to a different meeting, but doing so will surely
guarantee greater industry participation.
Thanks
Joe

Good Afternoon,
The Town of Los Gatos has been discussing changes to the guidelines for
businesses offering Alcohol and Entertainment for several months. In April of
2014, the Town Council formed an Ad -Hoc Committee to study this issue and
make recommendations to the full Council. On October 15, 2014, the Ad -Hoc
Committee presented their recommendations to the Town Council, who then
directed staff to take the comments and create ordinance language and return to
the Council with this draft ordinance.
The draft ordinance language and staff report are in the process of being
completed and will be available on the Town's website beginning Friday, May 1 in
preparation for the Council discussion on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at 7:00 n m
1 ATTACHMENT 5
during a regularly scheduled Town Council Meeting. At this meeting, the Council
will be discussing the language that is proposed to become an ordinance. As a
part of this process, following the Council's discussion, the draft ordinance will be
considered by the Planning Commission for recommendations back to the Town
Council. Once this happens, the Council will discuss the Planning Commission's
recommendations and finalize the ordinance for codification within the Town
Code.
We are notifying you of the upcoming meeting on May 5, as you have either
expressed interest in being notified of this subject, or you are currently operating
a business that may be affected by any changes to the Town Code surrounding
Alcohol and Entertainment services in Town. Please also feel free to share this
with others that you believe may have an interest in this matter. The public is
welcome to comment on this or any item on the Town Council Meeting agenda by
completing a public comment card at the meeting. In addition, comments are
welcome prior to the meeting via email or mail, and are included in the public
record given that they are received by the submittal deadline of 11 a.m. on
Tuesday, May 5, 2015.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or would like further
information.
