MOTION:
Alderman Poulos moved to pass the ordinance; Alderman Hurt seconded.
Mayor Thoms asked if there was any discussion or members of the audience who wished to speak. Bettendorf, Iowa attorney Michael Meloy came up to speak. He said he represented four Rock Island bars in the downtown District, specifically RIBCO and the Second Avenue Dance Club. He said he is also representing POG Ventures, LLC, operating as M.D. Green's at 1808 2nd Avenue. He said he is also representing RT Arena Inc on 811 Second Avenue, and lastly Born Entertainment LLC, or The Smoking Dog. He said he was there to discuss the proposed ordinance amendment regarding the hours of operation in the District. He said bar owners presently pay a fee of $1,200 for the right to be open until 3:00 a.m. He summarized recent events that led to the proposal. He said the change of hours will not solve the City's crime issue and will punish bar owners. He discussed the measures already taken by bars to curb these activities. He said the proposal would violate his client's vested property rights and due process of law. He said none of his clients have received written notice or notice of revocation to operate until 3:00 a.m. He asked why Council would want to infringe upon the downtown property owners. He said there has not been adequate thought or discussion placed by the City Council on this issue. He asked for Council to table this until after a Public Hearing and a written notice to each bar owner has taken place. He said if the ordinance goes through, the City is opening itself up to litigation. He thanked Council for their time.
Mayor Thoms asked any additional speakers to be as brief as possible without repeating what had already been said. Attorney John Flynn came up to speak. He introduced himself to Council. He said the measure requires bar owners to install expensive video and recording systems that is normally not required by a city. He said many bar owners have told him the last open hour is their most profitable. He said the violence that occurred was outside of the District area, and a bar right outside of the area will be allowed to remain open until 3:00 a.m. Mayor Thoms said that was not true, and that the measure would be City-wide. He said the District has gone above and beyond the requirements of a business district and the bar owners are losing their rights. He thanked Council for their time.
RIBCO owner Terry Tilka came up to speak. He said over 30 years, the District has boomed because of the hard work of the businesses in the area. He said they created the District, and employed hundreds of people over the years. He said they have donated thousands of dollars to charities and schools in the area. He said the City of Rock Island has proven to him that there are double standards, and the bar owners have nothing to do with any security issues. He said he is fed up, disgusted, and tired of this issue. He said Council is going to destroy everything he and the City worked for over the past 30 years. He said he has not received anything from the Liquor Commission or Police Department regarding violations, but did pay for a 3:00 a.m. license. He said he has contacted the Illinois Licensed Beverage Association, which is in support of him. He said he will not let this drop whether he opens or closes. He said some members of the Council should not be able to vote on this due to conflicts of interest. He thanked Council.
Daiquiri Factory owner Kyle Peters came up to speak. He said the 2:00 a.m. proposal cannot guarantee that loitering and violence are going to stop. He said the revenue will decrease until a true security plan is put in place. He said the bar owners are being punished and things are being taken away from them. He said the measure is not fair, and doesn't think closing at 2:00 a.m. will change the public perception of the downtown area. He thanked Council for their time.
M.D. Green's owner Bruce Harrell came up to speak. He said Council is making a knee-jerk reaction to the violence in the downtown area. He said they will lose revenue in the 2:00-3:00 a.m. hour as well as the 1:00-2:00 a.m. hour.
Alderwoman Swanson said there should be more discussion on the issue. She said closing the bars permanently at 2:00 a.m. is not a standalone measure to create a healthy atmosphere in the District. She said there is nothing given back to the bar owners despite taking away revenue. She said the City talks about partnership in the District but it sometimes seems like a one-sided partnership. She said since the last Council meeting, she did extensive reading of the comprehensive and downtown revitalization plans. She said the measures adopted in 2014-2015 could easily be shifted to 2020 with very little change. She said she spoke with bar and business owners and people vested in the downtown that have great ideas. She said she would like to have a special Council meeting solely focused on the downtown area, as well as a task force involving stakeholders in the District with the goal to put action steps into the downtown. She said the number one focus right now should be safety, and to take time to put a plan into place.
Mayor Thoms said the Executive Order would expire at the end of September, and asked Alderwoman Swanson if she would want a 2:00 a.m. closing with a sunset date mind, or let the Order expire and go back to 3:00 a.m. closing times. Alderwoman Swanson recommended Council do a sunset date. Alderman Poulos said his concern was for the safety of the downtown, and does not currently see many people there now due to safety concerns. He said an updated measure from the 2015 plans, amended to include action plans along with a sunset clause of February, may give everyone time to reevaluate the downtown area. Mayor Thoms said he does like the task force idea to help implement a plan. He said the difference now is that some TIF money may be available to assist the implementation. Alderman Spurgetis said he would like input from other Council members whether it would be valuable to set a sunset date or table the discussion. Alderman Parker said he would like to commend his colleagues for the amount of dialogue since the last Council meeting, and appreciated their willingness to see the issue from multiple perspectives. He said the downtown has been a focus of his time as an Alderman, and everyone should have perspective on the amount of time plans such as this may take. He said he would welcome the discussion of a task force, and said he has a lot of ideas on what he would like to see. Mayor Thoms asked him if he would support a February 28, 2021 sunset date. Alderman Parker said yes.
Alderman Poulos said changing the current environment in the District would help reduce the probability of further incidents. He said this is not the first time Council has reviewed this problem. He said he wants to make the District a place in which people would like to come. Alderman Geenen said he appreciated the dialogue on the downtown area. Mayor Thoms asked him if he would support a sunset date. Alderman Geenen said was in support of that.
City Attorney Dave Morrison clarified that this proposal is not based on an isolated incident. Police Chief Jeff VenHuizen confirmed there is not one isolated incident, but rather there have been a number of violent incidents including stabbings and shootings inside of other establishments. He said there is a public safety concern. He said since the 1:00 a.m. closing as part of the emergency declaration was put into place, there has not been a problem downtown. He said the downtown issues have been presented to every Council for the last 30 years. Mr. Morrison asked if this has historically been the case, and Chief VenHuizen confirmed it has.
Mayor Thoms said this proposal is something that does not normally go in front of the Liquor Commission. He said the City would look into making it right with bar owners as to what they have paid for their 3:00 a.m. liquor licenses, which have not been able to be used regularly since January 2020. Alderman Poulos asked if a sunset clause was added, would it bind Council if a movement forward has not been made, or if it could be revisited. Mayor Thoms confirmed yes, and it could be extended or made permanent. Alderman Parker asked if the language is amended, would it be added back after the sunset date. Mayor Thoms confirmed yes, and if no action is taken, the stricken language would be placed back. He asked Alderwoman Swanson, Alderman Geenen, Alderman Hurt, and Alderman Spurgetis if they would support an amendment for a sunset date of February 28, 2021. All confirmed yes.
Alderman Hurt rescinded his second. Alderman Poulos withdrew his motion and made a new motion with the implementation of a sunset date of February 28, 2021, and to consider, suspend the rules, and pass the ordinance; Alderman Parker seconded.
VOTE:
Motion passed on a 6-0-1 roll call vote. Aye: Poulos, Geenen, Hurt, Spurgetis, Swanson, and Parker. Nay: None. Absent: Clark.

Alderman Parker asked if there was an interest in any residential properties to participate in the program.

He said now the City wants to offer any lot for sale without having permission to discuss it first and arrange for a number of options to sell them.
