MAGNUSON stated that the current owner of the license has filed a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Proceeding and Judge Conley of the Federal Bankruptcy Court has issued a stay of any civil proceedings with regard to the assets of the bankruptcy estate in which the liquor license is one and he checked with the Bankruptcy Court today - the Court has specificially made an order which is attached to the license and that no action can be taken on it - it is presently property of the estate - what happens to the license greatly affects the value of the bankruptcy estate which is of interest to the creditors - he advised that the Council not take any action of any kind with regard to the license until the City receives word or approval from the Bankruptcy Court of any pending transfer. 4.

MR. GOULD did not feel that it affects the driveway at all - it is just the building that is located on this property. MR.
