In addition, numerous employees have been charged and convicted of similar violations occuring at the premises. One employee, Roger Lee Tyson, was convicted on two counts of Penal Code Section 311.2 (obscene films) and one count of Penal Code Section 311.5 (sale of obscene films) on December 14, 1971. Another employee, George Sylvester Blair, was convicted on the same date for a violation of the Penal Code Section 311.2 (possession of obscene material) and Penal Code Section 311.5 (sale of obscene material). 6. The Council further finds that the application should be denied because the applicant, its employees, officers, and agents have been convicted in courts of competent jurisdiction by final judgments of offenses involving the presentation, exhibition, or performance of obscene productions, motion pictures, or plays. As the cases above illustrate, the president of the applicant, N. Robert Blake and two employees have been convicted under sections 311.2 and 311.5 of the Penal Code. The crimes for which these persons have been convicted are directly related to the business of the applicant which is the sale, production, and exhibition of obscene matter. The pattern of past conduct is sufficiently clear to indicate that there is a substantial, clear, present, imminent danger that applicant will continue to violate said sections. Further there is no redeming social importance to the activities of the applicant. The Council further finds that, because of said past conduct, denial of said application is necessary to preserve, promote, and protect the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the community. Therefore, the City Council sustains the denial of the issuance of the permits and upholds the decision of the Hearing Officer denying said permits.
