(Mr. Guerra voting Nay to the preceding item). Mayor Morris introduced a discussion regarding the extension of hours of sale of alcoholic beverages in the City. Mr. Guerra stated individuals make their own decisions to go to Austin. Mr. Moore stated he would be willing to try this on a trial basis. Mr. Taylor advised the Council the City can have the extension of hours for a period of time for all of the City for all the days it is allowed. Comal County is trying to rescind late hours and are being sued, because establishments selling alcoholic beverages are claiming they have a right to have late hours and not have this rescinded. Mayor Morris stated she has talked with downtown owners who are not opposed to the extension of hours but who do want more police presence in the downtown area. Mr. Moore stated he does not think extended hours is a right, and responsible performance must be achieved. Rick Travis stated they clean up their own litter and thinks there needs to be full-time maintenance to clean up all of the area. Mr. Hernandez stated New Braunfels/Comal County is flip-flopping on this issue, but he does not think all businesses will want to stay open until 2:00 a.m. Mr. Cox stated Rick Travis and Fred Guerra are persuasive. Mr. Cox thinks there is an alcohol problem, and if the business owners think there is an economic problem with the limitation of time, this was a known issue when they opened business. He stated the need for police protection in the downtown area is an ongoing concern, and thinks it would be a bad move to extend the hours. Kenneth Manning who owns the Draft Choice Sports Bar stated they cut drinking off for those who drink to excess. They are sure few drink to excess in the downtown bars. Colonel Dishman who owns the Tap Room stated their doorman takes someone home when they are intoxicated and tows their car for $30. They pick up their trash when they close at night, and when they open each morning, they pick up whatever trash accumulates over night. Colonel Dishman stated they can control what happens inside their establishment, but do not have control of those who are going to Austin and elsewhere. Rob Robinson stated he is a member of the Downtown Association, and this is an important issue. He is
