License at the Clown Bar on 16th Street (formerly Kathy's) had been
received from Patricia Whitney. He stated further that cur Police
Department had not had time to complete a background check on this

request for construction in the sand dune area since the adoption of the
Sand Dune Ordinance and this application for a permit came from Mr. Ralph
