l Plug pulled
on Chamber
summer movies
for lack of license
By Marguerite Alexander
Correspondent, The Sun
The banner on the bridge in
Sheridan announcing the days
and times of the Movies in the
Park is missing this year--not
due to engineering studies of
the bridge--but the lack of
proper movie licensing.
"We thought we had a
movie license. We do," City
Manager,Frank Sheridan told
the city council at the July 18
meeting. But that license only
applies to movies shown inside
the library.
The entertainment industry
is cracking down on busi-
nesses, organizations and mu-
nicipalities that violate public
performance copyright laws:
The laws are not new; they've
been in place since 1970. En-
forcement of copyright in-
fringement laws by movie li-
censing companies is, however,
on the increase.
"I think they are just being
more aggressive now," said
Walt Gowell, the city's attor-
ney. Enforcing licensing laws
has become another form of
revenue, he added.
While the Sheridan Cham-
ber of Commerce and not the
City of Sheridan sponsored the
outdoor movies each summer,
the events were held in the City
Park, which could make the city
responsible for any violation.
When concerns about licens-
ing popped up, the chamber did
some research. "We looked into
it," said Sue Adamson, the presi-
dent of the Sheridan Chamber
of Commerce. What they found
was that licensing companies
wanted to charge for each movie
shown. "It's pretty expensive,"
she said.
In past years, selling con-
cessions helped offset the cost

Planning
Commission to
hear testimony
tonight, 6:30 p.m.
The Sheridan City Planning
Commission will hold a public
hearing at 6:30 p.m. today to
allow public comment on the
proposed legislative changes to
the city's zone codes.
While many of the changes
involve reorganizing and re-
numbering the code to make it
customer friendly, other
changes are more substantive.
Changes include lowering
the front yard setbacks for both
residential and commercial
property, adding lot coverage
standards in residential zones
and requiting serial partitions
to go through the subdivision
process.
The proposed code amend-
ments will also clarify and
change the application~proee-
dures, add more uses to the In-
dustrial District and include
wrought iron and plastic as
fencing materials. The pro-
posed changes also amend
home occupancy use.
A letter sent to property
owners included the following
statement: "The City of Sheri-
dan has determined that adop-
tion of the proposed Zone
Code text amendments may
affect the permissible uses of
your property, and other prop-
erties in the affected zones, and
may change the value of your
property."
A copy of the code has been
placed at the Sheridan Library
and online at www.cityof
sheridanor.com. It is also avail-
able for viewing at City Hall
and can be purchased for 15
cents per page.
Tonight's public hearing
will be held at City Hall, 120
S.W. Mill St.
