RH:sc 898319 Attachment MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA City Council Meeting p7198 AQTION: _c �A�Vd4 B 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 ITEM . 8/28/89 Re; Item 9A continued from 8/16/89 meeting Moorpark City Council, I would like to set the record straight, with respect to a typographical error contained in the letter, which the Moorpark City Council received from Mash Associates. Specifically, the error was in the hours of operation on Friday and Saturday nights. The letter indicates the hours would be from 11 a.m. to 12 midnight and the hours should have been from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. . Councilman Perez in fact mentioned this obvious error at the council meeting on August 16, 1989. My thoughts were dwelling on matters we were discussing prior to his comment, and I therefore did not respond to Councilman Perez's inquiry. This error needs to be rectified for a variety of reasons. The liquor license of Chuey's Restaurant is unristricted by the City of Moorpark with respect to hours of operation and would therefore create an environment of unfare competition. We checked with the State Liquor Board to confirm that the license issued to Chuey's was in fact a new license, and issued unconditionally. Secondly, the difference in the investment capital required would certainly suggest that unfair competition is not warranted in regards to our new business. To comply with the hours as indicated in the letter by Mash Associates, our restaurant would have to stop serving dinners at 11 p.m. , which in turn suggests that patrons who arrive after 10:45 p.m. could not be served due to preparation time. I am confident that the Moorpark City Council didn't then or now, intend to create an arena of unfair competition between local businesses. I thank you in advance for your action in this matter. ouhair You n RECEIVED AU6 2 9 g9�9
