BUSINESS:
OLD: CONSIDER REQUEST TO MODIFY CONDITIONS ON LICENSE FROM J.
MONTES, INC., DBA EL RODEO NIGHTCLUB (CON'T FROM 05/27/98):
Bruce Barker, County Attorney, stated this item was continued on May 27, 1998,
to allow time for a meeting between himself, Deputy Mark Profitt, and Daniel
Carr, attorney for J. Montes, Inc. Mr. Barker stated he sent a letter to Mr. Carr
requesting he submit his suggestions regarding patrons presenting identification
when entering the bar; however, he has not yet received it. He further stated
Deputy Profitt and Mr. Carr met and discussed wording for the condition.
Mr. Carr stated he listened to the record from the May 27, 1998, hearing and is
familiar with the comments and concerns of the Board. Mr. Carr stated he met
with Deputy Profitt; however, he could not reach Mr. Barker with their joint
recommendation. He suggested posting a sign stating, "No one under age
twenty-one shall be allowed on the premises and persons who appear to be
thirty years of age or younger, must present valid identification." Mr. Carr
explained the El Rodeo Nightclub has been loosing business from its older
customers and stated the restriction was justified for the previous ownership;
however, it is no longer necessary. Chair Harbert commented that she saw two
bars with signs posted requiring customers be eighteen to enter and all must
have identification. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Carr stated the
guard does require identification to be presented, and his clients are willing to
post a sign as requested. Mr. Barker recommended the condition read as
follows, "Only those patrons who are twenty-one years of age or older, shall be
allowed inside the premises during regular business hours with the exception
of employees. All persons who appear to be thirty years of age or younger shall
be required to carry on their persons, adequate, currently valid identification of
age, those documents set forth in Colorado Liquor Code Regulation 47-128.3,
while inside the premises." In response to Mr. Barker, Mr. Carr stated the entire
condition might not be as effective, and suggested a shorter version be posted
on the sign. Following discussion, Mr. Barker stated he and Mr. Carr will work
on the final wording for the sign and requested the Board consider his
suggested wording for the Condition as it will appear on the liquor license.
Deputy Profitt stated the State Liquor Code requires all liquor establishments to
post a sign with standard requirements listed. He agreed with posting a sign
which reads, "All persons who appear thirty years of age or younger are
required to present valid identification." In response to Commissioner Baxter,
Deputy Profitt stated these requirements should not make deputies jobs harder.
He clarified the initial reason for the request was to assist deputies when trying
to identify patrons involved in fights or other disputes. Deputy Profitt stated the

license comes up for renewal in October 1998, and he will monitor the situation
until then to see if conditions improve, and give a report at their license renewal.
He stated he would rather give periodic reports rather than present a year's
worth of reports. Commissioner Hall commented there is a process to present
issues during the year if necessary. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to
approve the request of J. Montes, Inc., dba El Rodeo Nightclub, with the new
language as stated by Mr. Barker, and require the establishment to post a sign
in English and Spanish with wording as agreed to by Mr. Barker and Mr. Carr.
Commissioner Hall seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

times with no response. He explained this is a narrow lot and Mr. Wright,
adjacent property owner to the south, is offering $225. Mr. Warden stated the
County has no need for this property and recommended declaring it surplus and
