With regard to the Electric Division, he stated reliability continued to excel; the utility continued to endure low electric usage by residents and that the lower revenues have been offset by wholesale revenues; staff continued with efforts to retrofit the Olive 1 and 2 units for return to service this summer; the demolition of the Magnolia 1 and 2 units was almost complete; construction of the Magnolia Power Project would begin in June with groundbreaking scheduled for June 10, 2003; and the old BWP administration building continued to undergo renovation.

1704-3

Gitana CUP

Revocation

Mr. Forbes, Senior Planner, reported the Council requested to agendize this item for the purpose of discussion regarding the Gitana Bar and Night Club (Gitana) and its Conditional Use Permit (CUP). He informed the Council Gitana operates under a CUP approved by the Council in 1998 and modified in 2000 and 2001. He stated recent attention had been focused on Gitana in the press as a result of police activity at the establishment, and the Police Department�s ability to initiate a cost recovery system for reimbursement for the police services rendered and that questions have also been raised whether Gitana was operating in compliance with its CUP.  He explained the Police Department was in the process of reviewing the history of police activity at Gitana to provide an accurate account of the police services rendered at the business. He stated if the Council wished to place the item on a future agenda, staff would provide a detailed report of the police calls, analyze the history of incidents and the related police activity along with any other complaints or issues that have been received and determine whether Gitana appears to be in violation of the CUP, and make a recommendation on whether or not to initiate revocation proceedings of the CUP.  He advised, pursuant to the Burbank Municipal Code, only the Council had the authority to revoke a CUP after holding a public hearing and determining that the permit was obtained by fraud, used in violation of the conditions of approval or law, or the business operating under the permit constituted a public nuisance.

He noted Gitana�s CUP provided for additional steps to be completed prior to the revocation hearing that would require the Police Chief to request a compliance hearing before the Planning Board for determination whether or not the police activity at that location created a substantial adverse impact on the City�s police services based upon the recommendations of the Police Chief. The Planning Board would also have the authority to request a revocation hearing by the Council.

Following Council deliberation, Mayor Murphy requested the item be agendized and staff provide further information on the revocation process.

Motion

It was moved by Mrs. Ramos and seconded by Mr. Campbell that �staff be directed to prepare the report on police calls for service as described above and schedule this item for the earliest possible date given the time that will be necessary to compile the data and prepare a comprehensive report.�
