Al.derman Strain was concerned about moving a street bar out of the downtown area. He said that this bar draws many people and would like to see it remain downtown. Alderman McConnell stated that the parking in the downtown area is not good that is one of the reasons they want to leave. Alderman Strain stated that we have the center street parking ramp which is only a block away. Wishing to answer the aldermen was Jeff Roehrick, owner of Rascal's. He urged the -Council to approve the move to Northbrook, however, he did not want to be responsible for security for the entird parking lot for all of the other businesses. The owners of Northbrook Shopping Mall has told Mr. Roehrick that he will try to get this parking lot under control in the summer. Alderman Bluhm stated that since this parking lot is a private lot, the Planning Commission can't really get involved in setting standards for that part of this transfer.

Alderman Strain stated that he does not want to see Rascal's move from.downtown. He wanted to know why besides parking would make him move from downtown. Mr. Roehrick stated that he wants to add a game room and expand his business which he cannot do at the present location. He also explained that he would not move unless he found a suitable tenant for the present location. ' The Council was questioning the status of the HUD 312 program that was issued to help Rascal's remodel. Mr. Roehrick stated that this would be taken care of and if it wasn't he would not move.
