Mayor Love called the Public Hearing to order at 7:00
p.m. All members of .the Council were present.
The purpose of this Public Hearing is-to hear the public
concerning the possible revocation of the occupational
license of Mr. Richard P. Stahl, owner of the Dutchman's
Rathsk®ller, 775 Northlake Boulevard, North Palm Beach,
Florida.
Mr. Thomas Yeager, Village Attorney, stated the first
thing he would like to do was to have this record of to-
nightTS proceeding reflect that last Thursday, October
13, 1977, there was a public meeting, there were fifty
or so Village residents who requested and joined in the
action to revoke the occupational license of the Dutch-
man~s Rathskeller, and also at that meeting Mr. Stahl
was present and did present his side of the story and
evidence to the Council as well as bringing in, in his
support, other members of the community.
I want this record to reflect that since the ordinance
does not provide a method of hearing, we•wish that the
transcript of that record, the recorded transcript of that
meeting which we have kept, to be incorporated into this
meeting without rehearing the entire proceedings all over
again. I believe we have the right to do that. The Village
is prepared to have the Public Safety Director, or one of his
Lieutenants, verify the fact of all the complaints listed in
the letter of October 14, 1977 by Mayor M. C. Love, Jr. to
Mr. Richard P. Stahl which specifies the offenses-which form
the basis of this revocation hearing. I think, as a matter
of procedure, I will just put on Lieutenant Roberts and let
him explain to the Council what these things are about. That
would be the only evidence we are going to present in support
of this petition.
