Rochester Hills Legistar System

Committee members briefly discussed issues of concern prior to the applicants

joining the meeting.

Ms. Leslie noted that at a previously owned establishment the applicants had

received a violation from the Liquor Control Commission (LCC) resulting from

serving alcohol to a minor. There was also an incident where an unsigned check

was sent to the LCC. Following investigation, it was determined that this was the

result of a clerical error and not the result of insufficient funds.

Committee members also discussed concerns regarding the request for a

Dance/Entertainment Permit, noting that the City would have no control over the

"type and size" of entertainment, and questioned where a dance floor would be

located in the establishment.

Ms. Hill welcomed and introduced applicants Thomas Everson, 1850 Bromley

Lane, Rochester Hills, and Curtiss Pagels, 905 East Buell, Rochester. Mr. Everson

and Mr. Pagels discussed their backgrounds in the restaurant business and described

their plans for their new establishment, C.J. Mahoney's Sports Grille:

* It is their goal to make the restaurant a full-service, "family operation."

* They will personally operate the business on a daily basis.

* The owners have completed all required certifications for food and alcohol

service, and will require these same certifications for all appropriate employees.

* They are members of the community, having moved to Rochester Hills in 1978.

* There are no plans for dancing in the restaurant.

* Only "solo entertainers" will perform occasionally; no bands.

* There will be a small area for "a few video games."

* There will be several televisions throughout the restaurant.

* The Dance/Entertainment Permit was requested in the event of private parties

and to avoid the necessity of having to request temporary permits when needed.

* C.J. Mahoney's Sports Grille will not be a night club.

* The one (1) previous liquor license violation involved an employee who

mistakenly served a minor alcohol.

* Neighbors adjacent to the proposed restaurant were notified of the plans for the

establishment.

A motion was made by Holder, seconded by Verschueren, that this matter be

Recommended for Approval to the City Council.

Resolved that the Administration & Information Services (AIS) Committee

recommends that the Rochester Hills City Council approve the request from

Christanthe Enterprises Inc. to transfer ownership of 2003 Class C licensed

business, located at 3260-3270 S. Rochester Rd., Rochester Hills, MI 48307,

Oakland County, Michigan from Troy Wok, Inc.

The motion carried by the following vote:

Mr. Bob Grace, Director of MIS, discussed the following items, noting that they

would be brought before City Council in the beginning of 2005:

JD Edwards / People Soft

------------------------------------

* The City's lead technical person on JD Edwards (JDE) has taken a new position

with the City. The MIS Department has taken the following steps to deal with this

situation:

1) Hired a consultant on a time and materials basis to provide

configurable network computer services and support.

2) Reviewing job applications for the position:

* Have yet to find an appropriate candidate.

* Will promote and train an existing employee if no applicants

have the skills required.

* May post the position again.

It is necessary that this position be filled because of upcoming projects:

* Network upgrade and JDE upgrade.

* Asset management and document imaging.

* Cover daily help desk issues.

* Research and create specifications, purchase and install equipment scheduled to

be purchased in 2005.

* All GIS applications are being changed over to an JDE database.

Potential Purchase of People Soft

-----------------------------------------------

* People Soft will only support the City's current version of JDE until February of

2005.

* The City has budgeted to upgrade to a new version or release in 2005 (RFPs are

under evaluation).

* If People Soft is sold to Oracle, there is no guarantee Oracle will support JDE.

* It is the consensus of the City's "power users" that the current JDE system,

while not perfect, is no worse than other comparable systems.

* However, a review of other software packages used by other communities will

be evaluated.

* It would likely take two (2) years to implement any new software system.

Network Upgrade

------------------------

* The City's current network infrastructure averages about four and a half years of

age.

* Plante Moran has been selected to replace the network.

* Anticipate design and specifications to be completed by mid to late December.

- Calendar functions and content
