Before reconvening, Mr. Carr will have the opportunity to listen to the tape and respond to Deputy Profitt's remarks following the land-use hearing. Deputy Profitt stated he agrees with the request of El Rodeo in principal because he has noticed a decrease in business from customers 50 years of age and older.

In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Barker stated security officers are allowed to check identification after customers have been allowed inside and may ask them to leave if they don't have identification. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated it is difficult to be lenient due to numerous problems which have taken place at El Rodeo. Commissioner Webster suggested everyone be required to show identification and have security personnel check it periodically. Mr. Barker recommended the Board recess this • item until Mr. Carr arrives.
