PASTOR MIKE FRAZIER
PRESENTATION TO THE HERNANDO COUNTY COMMISSION

March 12, 2002

To the Honorable Members of the Hernando County Commission.

Last Thursday at 11:09 p.m. I witnessed a nearly naked make stripper with his rear end totally exposed, coming out of the Hilltop Bar.  A sign out in front of the dive announced a Male review.  I called the Brooksville Police Department to report the incident. I am here today to ask you to immediately review our Adult Entertainment Ordinances & to ensure that this type of degrading and socially unacceptable behavior either becomes or remains illegal in our county.

A brief ride to Pasco, Pinellas, and Hillsborough counties should remind you of what our county will become if you don't act quickly. Do you want your legacy on the Board to be that of having allowed our county to become the new place for strip clubs, lap dances, nude bars, peep shows, adult shops, prostitution, lingerie modeling shops, massage parlors, & the like?  This is our future if you refuse to protect the public interest.

I am asking you to do two things.

#1 - Pursue whatever means necessary to remove or revoke the Hilltops liquor license.  My request is based upon several factors:

1. The Hilltop did allow a nearly naked male stripper (performing in their company sponsored Male Review) to exit their establishment with dozens of woman who, based upon the verbal testimony of some of the woman in attendance that night, were under the influence of alcohol. This caused a disturbance in their parking lot and on the small public street that runs along side their building.

2. The Hilltop failed to maintain order in their establishment which in turn may have interfered with businesses that are adjacent to their property.

3. The Hilltop failed to maintain their business in such a way so as to put the families living in the Union Street Area in the direct sight of sexually explicit / Adult Oriented activity.

 

NAC NOTE: REMAINDER OF THE COMPLAINT WAS UNAVAILABLE.
