Uniform policeman from dark to closing 3. No loitering outside 4. Some type of dress code 5. Closing at 12:00 a.m. Mr. Tyson asked Mr. Wagner if any of these could fit in his plan. Mr. Wagner stated that he felt the no smoking would be hard to control ; that closing at 12:00 a.m. is a City Ordinance; and that a uniform police would be an additional expense, but maybe he could on Friday and Saturday nights. Mrs. Comola asked what sort of income is projected from this. Mr. Wagner stated that gross would be about $700 a week and that the net would range from $0 to $1 ,200 a month. Mr. Tyson asked about having a uniform policeman. Mr. Wagner stated that if they have any problems, he could see having some type of police protection. Mr. Tyson stated that he would be in favor of starting out with police protection and then if it was felt that it was not needed, it could be dropped. (Mrs. Comola left at 8:35 p.m.) Chairman Pippin stated that he talked with Mrs. Peterson (wife of the owner of Sir & Sons) and asked her why they closed the one in Euless. Chairman Pippin quoted Mrs. Peterson as saying that due to discipline problems and so many police calls, it became uneconomical . She stated they had problems with the property being destroyed and she did not feel that the youth of Euless were ready for this type of establishment.
