STATUS OF PROPOSED CABARET ORDINANCE
SUBJECT:
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)d BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Request Sheriff's Department to assume lead
coordinating role on research of a proposed Cabaret Ordinance for
Contra Costa County. Further, request Sheriff's Department to provide
a report to the Board on December 13, 1994 on progress made as a
result of November 23, 1994 meeting between the Sheriff's Department,
Comumunity Development Department, and County Counsel. In addition,
request a timeframe be established for submittal of a draft ordinance
for consideration by the Board.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In response to concerns expressed by Bay
Point residents regarding increase crime and drug activity in the Bay
Point Community, a request was made of the Sheriff's Department in
August of this year that research be initiated on a potential
ordinance that would provide a useful law enforcement tool in
monitoring facilities that provide large scale entertainment as a
matter of business . Contributing to this request was the
administrative approval of an application to open a restaurant/bar
establishment in the Bay Point area that proposes to provide live
entertainment to a large group of people on a regular basis.
Residents in the Bay Point area, already subject to a high rate of
crime feel that .this type of establishment may contribute to an
increased need for law enforcement at a time when resources are
already stretched to the limit. A proposed ordinance, such as is
already adopted in Oakland, may provide a tool by which hours can be
regulated and specific security arrangements may be required of the
operator.

Re: Proposed "Caba`ret"Y .Orthnance `
A further meeting between County staff ( from the Sheriff ' s
Department, the Community Development Department, and our office) is
scheduled for November 23, 1994, to discuss a "Cabaret" ordinance.
The prior meeting between County staff did not produce a precise
understanding as to the problem to be addressed, and the control
desired, under a "Cabaret" ordinance. For instance, it is uncertain
whether such an ordinance should focus on land use, the licensing of
"Cabaret" operators, the regulating of how and when a "Cabaret" may
be in operation, and\or the supplementing of State criminal law
provisions . We hope that these matters will be clarified at the
upcoming meeting.
By copy of this memorandum, Community Development staff is
requested to provide our office with any information it has about the
zoning and status of the proposed "Me Mexico" establishment in the
Bay Point area.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me
(at 6-2066) .

SUBJECT DRAFkTINGOF °"CABARET"ORDINANCE ;
Confirming your conversation this date with Kathi
Baladad of my staff, it is my understanding that you will be
coordinating the drafting of a "cabaret" ordinance. This
effort should include the input of not only the Sheriff's
Department but County Counsel and the Community Development
Department as well. I have spoken with Sheriff Rupf
regarding this proposed ordinance and he indicated that he
believes it would be a useful law enforcement tool for
Contra Costa County.
Kathi Baladad will be the contact person on my staff .
Please advise her of the anticipated timeframe for this
effort.
I look forward to reviewing the ordinance once drafted.
Upon review by all involved departments, I will be happy to
introduce this proposed ordinance to the Board of
Supervisors .
