The Public Hearing opened at 3:05 P.M. Deputy City Clerk Webb introduced the item. The application was received and posted for the required twenty days and no protests were heard. The application was routed through Community Development and the Police Department and no concerns were raised. The applicant has paid the application fee and the license fee. The applicant was available for questions. Councilman Kuknyo noted that he visited the location and saw a change in the attitude of the new owners..Coyote Joe's is now more of a restaurant than a bar, with a different sound system. Jimmy Savoini, Coyote Joe's owner, said they are aware of the complaints regarding the loud music. He recognizes the responsibility of owning the bar. The large kitchen is back and the location will be a family friendly restaurant. Councilman Lamerson said he is happy to see another generation of Savoinis reinvesting in the community. Carole Stensrud, Prescott resident, said she is distressed about the opening of Coyote Joe's, but is glad that Mr. Savoini is a responsible owner. She managed a radio station for 10 years and said that sound is a complex thing and asked that the owners make sure they take care of the sound. She said that comments from the police department showed that there are no requirements for businesses regarding sound.
