C le o - L illia n n S o c ia l C lu b ,
3041 N. W illiam s A venue P o rt
land, O regon 97227 (284-7150)
has been part o f the com m unity
for o v e r fo rty y e a rs. Ju st as
people ch an g e o v er the years,
neighborhoods also change. The
n e ig h b o r h o o d
s u r r o u n d in g
C le o ’s has changed. T he liquor
laws have also changed. The co n
sequence for the club is that the
club m ust change or die.
In the last few years, n e ig h
bors have com plained about noise
from club p atrons, particu larly
at closing tim e. The m ajority o f
the com plaints have to do w ith
“ loud vo ices” or “y e llin g .” A lso
com plained about are loud ste
reos, car alarm s going off, "p e e l
ing o u t,” etc. The club has m ade
efforts to control the noise by
having a noise p o licy and secu
rity guards.
D espite efforts o f the club to
control the noise, the O regon L i
q u o r C o n tr o l C o m m is s io n
(O L C C ) has issued the club a
“tic k e t” o r notice o f violation,
charging the club w ith violating
O RS 471.315(1 )l(c ) “ N eig h b o r
hood L iv a b ility .” The possible
penalty for the tick et is license
can cellatio n .
In light o f the possible cancel
lation o f the liquor license, the
club has outlined five possible
scenarios to be accom plished by
M ay 31, 1999: (1) R elocate to a
non-residential neighborhood (2)
O perate in the present location,
prim arily as a restaurant (3) O p
erate in the present location as a
private club w ith an effective se
curity guard force to keep the
level o f noise acceptable to the
n eighbors (4) M ake no op era
tional changes; ask for adm inis
tr a tiv e h e a rin g (5 ) D isso lv e /
c e a s e o p e r a tio n . C o m m u n ity
opinions about w hich scenario is
m ost desirable and w ould be ap
preciated; call or w rite the club.
R e g a rd in g o p tio n (2 ), if you
w ould be interested in investing
in a new corporation to operate a
soul-food restaurant please call
R obert B row ning at the num ber
show n in this article.
The club currently holds a p ri
vate club (class b) liquor license.
M ost liquor licenses m ust be re
new ed each year. A city council
endorsem ent o f the license is part
o f the licensing process, and a
C ity C ouncil hearing may be part
o f the licensing process. The B u
reau o f L icenses m akes recom -
m en d atio n s to the C ity a b o u t
w h e th e r a p a r tic u la r lic e n s e
should be renew ed.
There may be a C ity C ouncil
hearing and a OLCC hearing on
the c lu b ’s liquor license w ithin
the next few m onths.
The club now seeks com m u
nity support in tw o w ays; patrons
who com e to the club, p a rtic u
larly at night m ust respect the
fact that the club now is in a
residential area, so there can be
no noise that is likely to disturb
neighbors. The club also needs
financial support to fight the up
com ing legal b attles and to ei
ther move or continue operation
in the present location. The club
is now selling m em bership cards
for $25 per year. Y ou can su p
port the continued operation o f
the club by applying for a new
m em bership card, or by m aking a
financial donation. O ther w ays
to support the club include w rit

Proposes to cancel alcohol privileges
T he O reg o n L iq u o r C o n tro l
Com m ission placed an immediate
suspension on alcohol sales and
serv ice at L eg en d s in C u lv er,
W ednesday, D ecem ber 30. The
OLCC is proposing to permanently
cancel the liquor license for the
business located at 319 W est 1st.
“C ontinued o p eratio n o f this
business w ould be a serious risk to
public safety,” said OLCC Adm in
istrator Pamela S. Erickson.
There have been numerous vio
lations within approximately three
weeks. The most serious was an
employee threatening to kill an
other employee with a firearm. The
proposed cancellation notice also
cites the operator for allowing an
employee to sell to a visibly intoxi
cated person, being visibly intoxi
cated while on duty, and threaten
ing and pushing police officers.
The owner is either unable or
unwilling to control liquor law vio
lations or prevent other incidents
that create a serious threat to the
public health and safety o f the com
munity.
The operator has until April 2,
1999 to request an OLCC hearing
to contest the proposed license can
cellation.
