meeting.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
councilmember
goodes!
Oh
I'm!
Sorry,
just
you
put
into
the
record
that
council
member
ding
felder
will
not
be
participating
today,
not
virtually
not
in
person,
and
we
just
wanted
to
make
note
of
that
before
we
begin
miss
grimes.
I
see
you
on
the
line.
Do
you
have
anything
at
this
time.
D
Yes,
sir,
I
was
just
going
to
do
a
brief
introduction
as
to
how
these
hearings
will
transpire
compare
previous
ones.
E
D
Thank
you,
gina
grimes
city
attorney.
The
hearings
on
your
agenda
today
relate
to
five
different,
a
b
establishments
that
receive
citations
for
failure
to
enforce
the
city's
health
law
requiring
wearing
of
masks
indoors,
and
I
know,
there's
seven
items
on
your
agenda,
but
it's
actually
just
five
different
establishments.
D
So
after
watching
the
last
two
sets
of
of
hearings
and
the
amount
of
time
that
city
council
is
dedicated
to
this
matter
and
in
an
effort
to
conserve
your
time,
we
reevaluated
these
last
five
cases
and
and
strive
to
negotiate
with
each
of
the
establishments
to
arrive
at
a
settlement
so
that
we
wouldn't
have
to
have
full
evidentiary
hearings
this
morning
and
we're
happy
to
report
to
you
that
we
have
negotiated
a
proposed
stipulated
settlement
in
order
for
all
five
establishments.
D
So
for
each
of
those
three
nights
during
the
last
three
weekends,
we're
seeing
almost
a
hundred
percent
compliance
with
that
with
the
with
the
health
law
requiring
masks
indoors.
So
again,
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
willingness
to
undertake
this
process
and
that
it
sends
a
strong
signal
to
this
to
av
establishments
that
the
city
takes
seriously
enforcement
of
the
conditions
that
they
place
on
av
establishments,
and
I
think
the
action
this
morning
too,
is
especially
critical
with
the
upcoming
spring
breaks
for
colleges.
D
Since
college
students
comprise
a
large
demographic
of
the
customers
of
these
different
establishments.
So
with
that
just
want
to
explain,
as
mentioned
we've
been
in
settlement
negotiations,
we
as
far
structuring
these
settlements.
We
evaluated
each
of
these
cases
using
the
same
two-step
process
that
council's
obligated
to
follow.
First,
we
have
reevaluated
it
determining
whether
violation
occurred
and
second,
if
so,
what
penalty
was
appropriate
and
in
evaluating
whether
a
violation
occurred.
We
re-examined
the
evidence
that
we
had
with
the
focus
just
on
mass
query.
D
So
what
I
mean
by
that
is
we
weren't
as
concerned
as
to
whether
or
not
there
was
dancing
or
congregating
in
certain
areas
or
standing
at
a
bar
as
long
as
the
customers
were
wearing
masks.
That's
all
the
city's
enforcement
efforts
were
intended
to
ensure
so
then
going
on
to
how
we
determined
the
appropriate
penalty.
D
So
since
mask
wearing
was
the
primary
goal
of
this
health
law
and
masks
were
worn.
We
have
stipulated
to
a
finding
of
no
violation
and
thus
no
penalty
and
the
the
probably
the
biggest
influence
on
that
determination
was
the
strong
enforcement
plan
that
was
implemented
by
the
risks
and
I'm
when
it's.
What
they're,
when
they're
up
for
their
hearing.
D
I'm
going
to
ask
that
their
representative
briefly
present
to
council
what
their
enforcement
plan
entails,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
we've
heard
a
lot
about
the
challenges
that
operators
face
and
enforcing
the
health
requirement
for
wearing
masks
indoors.
But
I
think
it's
equally
important
for
you.
All
to
understand
the
type
of
safety
measures
and
enforcement
plans
that
are
necessary
and
are
possible.
D
B
B
F
F
C
Just
for
the
purposes
of
counsel,
following
along
with
regard
to
the
ritz,
I
believe
that's
numbers,
two
and
four
on
the
agenda.
Is
that
correct
ms
wells?
Yes,
two
and
four
are
what's
before
council
now.
Thank
you.
F
Morning,
council
members,
my
name
is
michael
cook,
I'm
with
the
law,
firm,
greenberg
trailer,
and
we
represent
the
business
known
as
the
ritz
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
this
morning.
We
also
appreciate
the
work
that
the
city
has
done:
the
city
attorney's
office
and
working
with
us
to
resolve
this
by
proposing
a
stipulation
and
an
order
that
incorporates
the
revised
enhanced
health
and
safety
plan
that
we
created.
F
F
In
fact,
there's
no
employee
who's
been
diagnosed
with
covid
and
there's
no
to
the
best
of
our
knowledge.
Any
indication
that
any
case
of
covet
has
been
has
been
traced
to
the
ritz.
F
They
implemented
that
plan
successfully,
but
they
started
receiving
the
violation
citations
of
violation
in
early
january
of
this
year.
At
that
time,
the
rates
reached
out
to
greenberg
tri-rig,
and
we
in
turn,
turn
to
a
global,
consulting
firm
that
we've
done
work
with
in
the
past
and
we
put
together
with
them
in
order
to
get
some
good
scientific
input
on
what
the
ritz
was
doing
and
to
improve
it.
If
necessary,
we
worked
with
them
and
we
put
together
a
team
of
three
scientists.
F
The
other
two
are
industrial
hygienists,
both
certified,
one
of
whom
has
expertise
in
respiratory
issues,
and
we
had
them
meet
with
the
staff
at
the
ritz,
go
to
the
the
the
operations
there
and
observe
the
operations
review,
the
existing
health
and
safety
plan
and
make
recommendations
on
what
else
might
be
done.
They
did
that.
We
implemented
that
and
changed
the
plan.
F
A
No,
do
we
have
anybody
in
the
public
that
wishes
to
speak
on
this
item,
which
is
two
and
four
combined?
This
is
for
the
ritz
eboard.
C
Mr
chairman,
I'm
going
to
suggest
because
this
is
a
quasi-judicial
matter
and
it
appears
that
this
is
a
settlement.
Perhaps
the
discussion
can
be
limited
to
what's
before
city
council
as
to
whether
to
accept
and
move
forward
with
the
settlement.
A
Okay,
so
the
the
subject
matter
will
be
limited
to
the
the
settlement.
That's
being
discussed,
questions
or
comments
from
council
members,
councilman
goodes.
No,
all
right
do.
We
need
a
motion
to
yes,
mr
shelby,
just.
C
G
C
H
A
E
C
G
You
know
the
just.
The
fact
is
that
we
have
parties
that
are
voluntarily
coming
here
for
an
agreement
that
they've
reached
we're
strike
that
who
are
asking
us
to
approve
an
agreement
that
they
voluntarily
reached
with
the
city
I
mean
if
this
city
council
doesn't
approve
that,
then
good
lord
help
us.
E
A
Very
good:
let's
get
them
up
and
we'll
we'll
begin
with
the
first.
I
J
J
Closing
small
businesses
due
to
non-technical
regulation
do
not
honor
the
all
that
you
made
when
taking
the
position
that
you
know
now
occupy.
So
please
do
your
duty
efficiently.
We
do
not
demand
less
of
you
than
that
today.
In
the
news
the
dojos
published
the
u.s
hospitalizations
down
about
70
percent.
A
All
right
next
speaker,
please
and
when
you
come
up,
raise
your
right
hand,
we'll
swear
you
in.
B
K
K
K
K
Are
we
relying
on
code
enforcement
to
make
the
decision
on
citizens
as
to
when
they
are
putting
their
masks
on
what?
If
they're
having
their
very
last
drink
that
evening,
keith
o'connor
the
city's
neighborhood
engagement
manager,
said,
enforcement
has
recently
evolved
to
give
officers
discretion
to
warn
barn
owners
if
the
only
violation
witnessed
was
mass
customers
standing
on
a
dance
floor
instead
of
issuing
a
citation.
K
K
Is
every
single
establishment
being
checked
all
over
the
city
and
if
so,
is
it
possible
that
we,
as
citizens
may
be
able
to
see
the
report
that
tells
us
who
was
keep
playing
and
who
was
not,
and
also,
if
you're,
going
to
put
a
business
owner's?
Livelihood
in
danger
is
code
enforcement,
properly
educated
and
experienced
enough
to
analyze
each
per
single
procedure?
Please
help
our
businesses,
please
stop
violating
their
liberty
and
freedom
and
help
figure
out
a
way
to
help
them
keep
their
businesses
function.
K
L
Okay,
first
of
all,
I'm
not
thank
you
for
the
the
time
and
I'm
not
here
to
say,
don't
wear
a
mask
if
you
want
to
wear
a
mask
by
all
means,
please
do
if
that
makes
you
more
comfortable.
L
I
wanted
to
get
down
to
the
reasoning
of
why
all
these
mandates
are
happening
and
I
believe
mostly
they're
altruistic.
There
might
be
some
financial
here
if
we
go
I've
been
quoted
and
I
looked
up
that
the
reason
for
the
public
good
and
the
right
of
government
to
do
things
for
the
public,
good,
health-wise
and
mandating
goes
back
to
a
case
jacobson
versus
massachusetts.
L
That's
back
in
1905
jacobson
refused
to
take
his
vaccine
in
1897
and
it
went
to
the
supreme
court.
He
lost
because
judge
harlan
said
it's
necessary
for
the
common
good.
The
court
emphasized
that
government
officials
were
acting
out
of
necessity
as
smallpox
was
prevalent
and
increasing
in
cambridge,
so
the
emergency
situation
justified
the
government
taking
these
measures.
L
Now,
if
we
look
at
the
smallpox
risk
that
disease
was
much
more
virulent
than
covid,
the
mortality
rate
was
30
percent
and
higher,
often
in
babies,
with
more
of
a
legacy.
Afterwards,
compared
to
covid's
what
99
to
97
percent
recovery,
depending
on
your
age,
witness
me
I've
been
living
in
tampa
for
a
year
moved
in
probably
about
the
middle
of
all
this
beginning
of
it
I
mean,
and
I
had
coveted
at
70
years
old.
I
realize
that
I'm
blessed
genetically
with
good
health,
but
I
also
make
health
decisions
based
on
what's
good.
L
L
So
many
times
I
said,
go
die
when
we're
arguing
about
the
mass
thing
go
die
boomer
from
covid
nice
and
at
the
same
time
they
might
be
taking
health
choices
that
are
scientifically
proven
very
bad.
L
However,
I'm
not
trying
to
diminish
anybody's
loss
from
that
they
have
sustained
and
family
from
covet.
In
fact,
our
hearts
go
out
to
these
people
as
they
do
in
any
deaths,
but
it
also
does
not
change
the
fact
that
a
large
portion
of
society
has
been
mentally
damaged
from
this
last
year
in
covid,
probably
every
one
of
us
have
a
certain
extent
of
ptsd
back
when
this
started.
I
was
so
all
on
board.
You
know
because
it
was
flat
in
the
curve.
We
don't
want
to
overwhelm
the
system,
and
I
think
everybody
got
that.
L
But
now
we've
gone
to
from
flatten
the
curve.
Don't
wear
mask,
wear
a
mask.
Wear
two
masks
wear
a
mask:
even
after
90
of
the
people
get
a
vaccine.
L
Are
in
a
place
where
you're,
not
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
where
your
paycheck
is
coming
from,
they
do
you've,
put
them
between
a
rock
and
a
hard
place
between
two
sections
of
society,
one
that
wants
to
mask
and
ones
that
don't
and
I'm
just
saying
make.
Let
us
make
our
choices.
E
E
I
believe
that
this
settlement
is
a
waste
of
taxpayers
money.
You
are
basically
the
city
of
tampa
and
their
code
enforcement
is
basically
harassing
these
small
businesses.
Small
businesses
notice
all
the
businesses
that
are
being
fined
today
or
penalized
today
or
small
businesses.
I
don't
see
walmart
in
here
being
penalized.
I
don't
see
target.
I
was
in
walmart
and
dale
mavery
the
other
day
without
a
mask.
There's
hundreds
of
people
walking
around
in
these
big
corporation
businesses
without
masks,
chili's
applebee's
sullivan
steakhouse,
but
you
don't
find
them.
E
You
go
after
the
you
go
after
these
small
businesses
and
harass
these
small
businesses
and
then
cause
them
emotional
distress
caused
them
to
con
hire
attorneys
to
defend
themselves,
and
I
don't
believe
in
our
mass
look.
This
is
a
fashion
statement
right
here.
This
is
a
fashion
statement.
You
people
shame
on
the
city
council
for
dragging
these
people
into
the
into
this
building
and
wasting
their
time
and
resources
they.
These
people
are
trying
to
feed
their
families
they're
trying
to
feed
their
families.
E
These
businesses
they're
trying
to
make
a
living
unconstitutional
mass
mandates
in
the
state
in
this
state
there's
in
the
state
of
florida,
is
wide
open,
but
in
tampa
you
just
want
to
go
around
and
harass
people
you
want
to
harass
people
this.
This
city
council
is
harassing
you
harassing
these
small
businesses
stop.
I
hope
every
one
of
you
people
get
sued
by
these
businesses-
and
you
know
what
not
in
your
official
capacity,
because
you
guys
are
protected,
because
you
know
the
taxpayers
will
foot
your
legal
bills.
B
M
Marie,
yes,
we
are
in
a
state
of
emergency,
but
it's
not
just
kovid.
It's
also
the
death
of
small
businesses,
loss
of
wages
for
everyday
people,
among
many
other
things,
because
we
are
experiencing
political
malpractice
by
those
whom
we've
elected
to
serve
and
represent
us,
but
instead
choose
to
use
their
positions
to
turn,
recommendations
into
law
and
punish
the
people
out
of
their
their
own
fear,
their
disdain
of
our
governor
and
his
policies,
while
hiding
behind
the
general
blanket
of
health
and
safety
code.
M
This
would
also
make
code
enforcement
in
violation
of
the
mayor's
executive
order.
In
paragraph
4,
section
l,
as
well
as
paragraph
9,
section
l
of
the
hillsborough
county,
face
covering
order.
If
a
bar
or
restaurant
isn't
threatened
with
revocation
with
a
case
of
hepatitis
b
is
present,
and
all
that
is
required
is
for
them
to
alert
the
health
department
and
leave
it
up
to
the
news
to
report
allowing
customers
to
decide
whether
or
not
they
want
to
patron
that
business.
Then
why
is
this
any
different
wearing
seat
belts?
M
Is
a
law,
however,
when
someone's
in
a
car
accident
and
isn't
wearing
a
seatbelt
city
council
isn't
doing
quasi
hearings
for
car
dealerships
trying
to
revoke
anything
because
they
didn't
post
signs
and
force
their
customers
to
wear
a
seatbelt.
So
why
is
this
any
different
wearing
masks
in
a
restaurant
or
a
bar
is
not
the
same
as
rodents
and
insects
in
the
establishment.
It
is
also
never
on
the
customer
to
help
that
establishment
rid
of
such
things.
So
why
are
you
trying
to
do
that
with
this?
M
A
vote
to
revoke
the
money
maker
of
a
bar
for
not
policing
their
customers
and
forcing
social
compliance,
which
is
not
a
part
of
the
code
or
ordinance,
is
a
vote
for
government
acting
as
a
mafia
and
not
as
representatives
of
the
people.
This
is
coercion
and
it's
unethical
adopting
an
executive
order
to
an
existing
general.
Whatever
you
say
is
a
violation
code,
because
you
don't
agree
with
the
governor's
decision
to
have
a
state
mass
mandate
and
not
find
individuals
is
forcing
compliance
and
is
not
the
job
of
elected
public
servants.
M
That
is,
you
politicizing
an
illness,
not
those
who
question
it.
It
shows
your
constituents
that
you
want
them
to
do,
as
you
say,
or
else,
and
that
is
operating
outside
of
the
cons,
the
consent
of
the
people
making
it
unjust,
which
deems
such
actions
null
and
void.
And
since
you
want
to
revoke
the
money
maker
of
small
businesses,
I
would
suggest
we
suspend
your
your
pay
since
you're
employed
by
taxpayers
until
you
can
stop
behaving
like
parents
dealing
with
disobedience
and
behave
accordingly.
M
As
representatives
of
the
people
majterrei
says
it
best,
a
free
nation
must
remain
free
by
allowing
its
citizens
to
decide
not
be
forced.
Anyone
who
doesn't
understand
that
and
would
attempt
to
bully
you
into
submission
doesn't
understand
freedom
I'll,
actually
take
it
a
step
further
and
add
that
those
who
force
compliance
are
anti-freedom,
thus
being
anti-american
and
are
against
the
people
and
do
not
belong
in
public
office.
B
N
N
We,
the
people
of
tampa,
have
had
enough
of
these
bogus
hearings,
okay
and
it
looks
very
targeted
because
code
enforcement
is
not
going
to
every
single
business
to
make
sure
that
they're
wearing
their
masks.
Okay,
it
just
seems
that
that's
our
perspective
as
of
right
now,
okay,
the
people
are
seeing
this
and
we're
seeing
it
in
that
perspective,
that
you're,
targeting
and
specifically
going
after
certain
businesses-
and
it
happens
to
be
that
the
city
of
kent
city
council
has
a
vendetta.
N
N
These
businesses
have
have
bought
thousands
of
dollars
worth
of
masks.
They've
posted
signs,
they've
asked
their
customers
to
please
wear
them.
What
else
do
you
want
them
to
do,
as
you
heard
earlier
today,
that
they've
even
consulted
with
with
scientists
and
things
like
that,
just
to
figure
out
how
to
work,
how
to
do
this
properly?
How
to
do
this
safely,
but
that's
not
good
enough
for
city
council,
I'm
I'm
asking
you
guys
to
please
just
this.
This
really
seems
unfair.
This
seems
unconstitutional
and,
frankly,
un-american.
N
G
For
the
sake
of
the
public,
because
I
think
there's
some-
you
know
we
hear
about
city
council,
city
council,
mr
shelby,
can
you
please
inform
just
go
over
procedurally
how
these
cases
came
before
city
council?
Just
so
that
if
you
could
well.
C
Council,
I
believe
I
I
would
defer
to
this.
These
are
administratively
brought
to
city
council,
and
this
is
pursuant
to
27
dash
318
of
the
code
of
ordinances.
This
is
as
a
result
of
them
having
the
privilege
of
having
alcoholic
beverage
special
use
permits.
If
you'd
like
to
have
more
detail.
I
can
certainly
ask
the
city
attorney
to
do
that,
but
this
is.
This
is
a
process
where
the
code
ultimately
gives
the
authority
to
the
city
council,
but
it
is
pursuant
to
the
process
that
set
forth
in
city
ordinance.
E
And
and
a
city
city
attorney
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
get
several
emails
a
day
saying
why?
Don't
you
change
the
mask
order?
City
council's
not
involved
in
the
mass.
E
We're
under
an
emergency
order,
right
now
by
the
mayor
and
by
county
commission
and
if
you
like,
or
don't
like
the
mask
order,
contact
the
mayor
and
contact
the
county
commission.
What
we're
doing
today
is
the
city
process,
the
code
enforcement,
which
also
works
for
the
mayor.
By
the
way
they
have
repeatedly
will
hear
the
cases
but
they've
repeatedly
gone
to
certain
establishments
and
they've
come
back
with
these
cases,
and
so
we
have
to
hear
them
in
this
quasi-judicial
format.
But
I
would
encourage
anybody
who
doesn't
like
the
policy.
E
A
All
right,
the
attorney
that
was
here
for
the
the
ritz
if
you'd
like
to
come
up,
sir,
and
I
believe
we
asked
for
a
motion
to
close
the
public
hearing
and
then
a
motion
regarding
the
settlement,
correct.
D
Mr
chairman
gina
grimes
just
to
be
clear
and
concise
as
to
what
we're
asking
you
to
do.
We
are
recommending
in
this
case
that
there
be
a
finding
of
no
violation,
because
their
patrons
were
wearing
masks.
However,
they
were
not
social
distancing,
but
our
recommendation
is
a
finding
of
no
violation
of
the
of
the
health
law
and
therefore
no
suspension
is
recommended
and
but
further
we
are
asking
that
their
safety
plan
be
approved
and
and
made
a
condition
to
their
as
ongoing
compliance
with
that
plan.
O
Vieira
I
was
going
to
move
the
recommendation
from
the
city
attorney.
A
O
O
A
C
To
chairman
that
motion
applied
to
both
numbers
too,
yes,.
A
P
Good
morning
for
the
record,
kate
wells
chief
assistant
city
attorney,
I
am
here
on
item
number
one.
The
establishment
is
known
as
mcdinton's
irish
pub
located
at
405
south
howard
avenue.
I
have
provided
council
with
a
copy
of
the
proposed
settlement,
stipulation
and
order
for
your
consideration
just
quick
background
and
not
to
go
back
over
everything
that
miss
grimes
said,
but
her
comments
certainly
apply
to
each
case
that
you
will
be
hearing
today.
P
The
suspension
is
for
a
proposed
period
of
three
consecutive
days,
commencing
on
thursday
march
18th
2021
at
noon
and
ending
sunday
march
21st
2021
at
11
59
a.m.
The
proposed
dates
were
presented
to
us
by
the
establishments
council
and
the
city
was
receptive
to
the
proposed
settlement,
and
we
would
ask
for
your
approval
this
morning.
A
Okay,
please
raise
your
right
hand,
we'll
swear
you
in.
B
Q
Q
Q
We
have
presented
a
safety
plan
to
the
city
attorney's
office,
which
includes,
as
she
stated,
closing
for
those
three
days,
also
for
the
remainder
of
the
time
that
the
mayor's
executive
order
is
in
effect,
the
inside
of
the
establishment
will
be
limited
to
reserve.
Seating
only
patrons
will
be
given
a
wristband
if
they
have
reserved
seating.
The
only
patrons
that
can
go
inside
of
the
establishment,
with
the
exception
of
going
to
the
roped
off
restroom
will
be
those
patrons
that
have
the
wristband.
Q
Q
They
will
continue
to
have
the
hand
sanitizer
stations
throughout
the
establishment
and,
in
the
event
that
a
patron
is
seen
without
a
face
mask
and
an
employee
notices
it
an
employee,
will
approach
them
tell
them
to
wear
the
face
mask.
If
the
patron
refuses
to
do
so,
they
will
be
made
to
leave
the
building.
G
P
A
I'm
sorry
yeah,
so
three
and
five
same
address
same
business
name,
so
just
for
the
clarity
of
the
record.
Yes,
ma'am.
P
Thank
you.
So
the
next
item
is
with
respect
to
an
establishment
known
as
prama
ebores
premier
night
spot
located
at
1619
east
7th
avenue.
The
settlement
before
you
for
consideration
is
based
upon
three
separate
notices
of
intent
that
were
issued
the
first
on
january
14th,
based
upon
violations
found
on
january
1st
and
january
8th.
P
Prior
to
that
code,
enforcement
had
met
with
representatives
for
proma
prana,
I'm
sorry
on
july,
17,
2020
and
again
on
december
31st,
based
upon
the
allegations
in
each
of
the
notices
of
intent.
The
settlement
before
you
provides
for
a
finding
of
violations
for
each
notice
of
intent
and
the
period
of
suspension
is
proposed
to
be
seven
consecutive
days
commencing
april
5th
and
ending
april
12
2021
and
as
with
the
prior
settlements.
A
health
and
safety
plan
is
included
with
the
settlement
and
continued.
P
A
No,
do
we
have
an
applicant
for
or
a
representative
for,
mr
laro?
If
you
could
please
raise
your
right
hand,
we'll
swear
you
answer.
B
B
I
One
concern
that
we
had
is
we
hate
to
get
a
worse
deal
than
everybody
else,
which
is
why
we
thought
the
seven
days
was
a
little
generous.
I
don't
know
if
the
council
would
amend
the
consideration
to
the
three
days.
That
seems
to
be
the
maximum
penalty
being
considered,
but
all
those
things
being
said
we
had
actually
put
together.
I
think
a
pretty
elaborate
safety
plan.
I
When
we
talked
about
this
with
the
city,
we
established
that
this
is
a
five-story
building.
It
has
a
capacity
of
over
800
and
that
without
any
pressure
and
certainly
not
required
by
the
the
governor,
we
limit
the
occupancy
to
no
more
than
500.
There
is
signage
everywhere
on
the
club.
In
fact,
there
are
two
very
large
video
screens
that
continuously
display
the
mass
requirements.
I
When
we
presented
that
to
the
city,
there
were
over
120
people
that
had
had
been
ejected
for
non-compliance
and,
interestingly
enough,
two
of
those
people
felt
that
they
should
not
have
been
ejected
and
they
hired
attorneys
and
we've
received
letters
from
their
council
saying
that
they
were
improperly
ejected.
So
that's
an
additional
expense.
The
one
factor
that
we've
concluded
in
our
safety
plan
that
we
spoke
about
was
before
any
executive
order.
I
In
fact,
back
in
august,
in
doing
the
research
similar
to
my
predecessors
and
trying
to
meet
with
the
experts,
we
provided
a
air
handler
which
cost
seventeen
thousand
dollars,
which
was
the
best
device
for
a
business
of
that
size.
That
was
recommended
by
the
cdc,
so
without
any
warning
without
knowing
that
there
would
ever
be
these
issues
on
their
own.
My
clients
voluntarily
posted
that
and
installed
that
air
handler.
I
Lastly,
we
have
thermometers
used
at
the
front
door
to
detect
any
potential
patron
with
any
kind
of
problematic
symptoms,
and
if
they
obviously
have
a
temperature,
then
they're
denied
entry.
We
also
presented
to
the
city
that
we
have
31
employees,
five
of
which
were
added
specifically
to
roam
the
facility
and
ensure
strict
compliance
with
the
executive
orders
and
then,
lastly,
we're
trying
to
use
all
reasonable
precautions
to
protect
against
the
spread
of
the
coven
19
virus.
So
I
like
to
think
that,
in
our
get
together,
we
presented
a
lot
of
different
issues.
I
I
Obviously
I
don't
want
to
deviate
from
an
agreed-upon
settlement,
but
if
the
council
could
see
fit
to
try
to
at
least
maintain
some
consistency
with
the
way
that
they're
handling
these
cases
three
days,
apparently
being
the
the
maximum
penalty,
given
a
lot
of
people
not
getting
any
penalty,
maybe
I
can
make
an
ore
tennis,
but
I
don't
want
to
lose
this
deal
and
I
don't
want
to
aggravate
anybody
by
deviating
from
the
discussions
that
we
had
I'm
just
looking
for
equity
and
fairness
here
and
obviously
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
comply.
I
If
you
have
a
place
of
public
assembly
and
code
enforcement,
is
there
and
someone
instantaneously
gets
up
from
their
seat
for
whatever
reason
they
decide
and
removes
their
mask
to
take
a
drink
or
to
talk
with
a
friend
there's
just
no
time
for
anybody
in
management
to
ensure
100
percent
compliance,
and
I
think,
if
you
recall
from
the
first
time
I
had
the
privilege
of
addressing
counsel,
there's
just
no
way
to
ensure
strict
compliance.
You
do
your
best.
In
fact,
the
language
of
the
executive
order
says
reasonable
efforts.
I
Reasonable
efforts
are
just
those
they
have
to
be
reasonable.
They
don't
ensure
100
compliance
and
I'm.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
this
wraps
up
all
of
these
prior
issues,
the
prior
citations
that
were
handled
and
again
we
we
have
gotten
notices
of
appearance,
we'll
be
in
court
on
these
same
citations
in
june
for
arraignment.
That's
the
only
that's
the
only
thing
that
is
scheduled
right
now,
but
again,
I'm
just
trying
to
work
out
the
way
that
we
don't
risk
the
loss
of
substantial
business.
I
I
already
talked
about
all
of
the
different
suffering
that
my
clients
have
gone
through
with
the
inability
to
be
open
from
march
17th
through
september
25th
of
last
year.
So
I
will
seed
the
floor
and
I
thank
you
for
the
privilege
of
making
this
presentation
a
day.
O
You
know
in
our
last
hearing
I
talked
about
consistency,
it's
a
key
when
you're
dealing
with
a
bunch
of
businesses
just
to
stay
on
track.
I
knew
we'd
get
to
this
point.
That's
why
I
made
that
point
last
week
about
staying
consistent.
O
What
I
see
here
today
and
I'm
going
to
ask
the
city
attorney
about
consistency,
because
now
we
have
safety
plans
in
place,
which
is
a
good
idea
which
we've
had
from
the
get-go,
but
I
think
it's
a
great
start
now
that
people
are
putting
plans
in
place.
Maybe
that's
something
at
the
end
that
we
make
a
recommendation
that
staff
maybe
get
out
and
have
all
these
establishment
gift
safety
plans,
and
that
way
we
won't
go
down
this
road.
O
I
would
ask
the
city
attorney:
are
there
amenable
to
being
consistent
with
the
three
days
versus
the
seven
days
and
if
they
have
any
objections
to
that,
I
would
like
to
hear
before
this
council
may
intervene
on
that.
D
P
If
I
may
respond,
we
believe
that
we
are
being
consistent.
What
is
different
between
this
item
and
others
where
council
has
imposed
a
three-day
suspension?
This
is
based
on
three
separate
notices
of
intent
that
occurred,
violations
that
occurred
between
january
1st
and
january
23rd,
five
separate
instances,
so
the
the
three-day
proposal
is
consistent,
where
it's
the
first
notice
of
intent
and
those
establishments
likewise
have
submitted
a
health
and
safety
plan.
P
So
I
would
submit
that
the
proposed
timeline
is
is
extremely
consistent,
if
not
somewhat
conservative
based
upon
your
prior
action,
and
I
would
also
submit
that
the
seven
day
period
was
proposed
by
mr
laro.
We
did
not
propose
it
to
him.
We
asked
him
and
he
has
represented
other
establishments
that
did
result
in
a
three-day
suspension.
P
O
Let
me
get
clear,
mr
wrote:
he
approached
the
city
in
reference
to
the
summer
of
seven
days
and
apparently
the
city's
position
is
that
we're
being
lent
on
the
administrative
side,
because
there
were
three
separate
violations:
correct.
P
There,
yes,
there
were
some
settlement
discussions
over
a
period
of
time.
Initially
mr
laro
proposed
that
any
settlement
not
include
a
period
of
suspension
and
instead
allow
them
to
make
a
financial
donation
or
allow
the
establishment
to
make
a
financial
donation
to
a
non-profit
that
has
been
supporting
covet-related
issues.
P
When
we
looked
at
the
provision
in
chapter
27
with
respect
to
this
council's
authority,
your
account,
your
authority
is
limited
to
a
suspension
for
a
first
violation
anywhere
up
to
30
days.
In
this
settlement,
you
will
see
that
we
have
agreed
to
consider
all
three
notices
as
that
first
violation.
So
even
so,
you've
got
three
separate
instances.
P
O
A
K
Of
my
questions
answered
mr
laro,
you
will
concur
with
what
miss
kate
wells
has
said
and
that
this
was
done
by
the
act
of
the
your
client's
own
free,
will
and
accord.
You
said
you
had
to
struggle
with
it
prior.
E
A
E
Oh,
thank
you
very
much.
Mr
chairman.
I
was
going
to
ask
the
same
questions
my
colleague,
dude
and
central
vast
and
evidently
there's
a
little
discrepancy
in
one
presentation
and
rebuttal
on
the
other
code
enforcement.
If
I'm
asking
them
to
clarify
the
record
that
the
the
differences
are
there
any
difference
between
three
and
five
compared
to
two
and
four
as
far
as
the
amount
of
citations
given
and
opportunities
to
adhere
to
the
picture
of
the
special
item
that
the
mayor
proposed
some
time
back,
that
would
be
the
city's
law.
E
D
Gina
grimes
city
attorney
the
difference
between
this
case
piranha
and
the
ritz
is
that
in
at
the
ritz
they
were
cited
for
violating
the
social
distancing
requirements.
That's
in
the
board
of
county
commissioners
executive
order,
the
mayor's
executive
order
does
not
have
those
same
requirements
dealing
with
social,
distancing,
congregating
in
a
bar
or
dancing.
D
Our
concern
is
mask
wearing,
and
so,
given
that
the
ritz
violations
were
not
for
failure
to
wear
masks,
but
instead
for
failure
to
social
distance
in
an
effort
to
be
fair,
we
agreed
to
stipulate
to
a
finding
of
no
violation,
and
I
I
want
to
say
another
thing
about
why.
Why
are
we
all
here?
Why
it's
not
to
punish
businesses?
In
fact,
just
the
opposite.
The
city
did
everything
it
could
during
the
shutdown
to
facilitate
businesses,
staying
open
and
remaining
in
business.
D
The
reason
we're
not
we're
here
is
because
the
cases
fight
in
december
and
enforcement
efforts
started
and
most
restaurants
and
bars
complied
with
the
requirement.
There
were
a
handful
of
establishments,
a
b
establishments
that
did
not
comply
and
they
ignored
the
educational
and
encouragement
process.
They
ignored
the
formal
warnings
they
ignored.
The
first
citation
this
establishment
ignored
the
second
citation
they
even
ignored
the
third
citation,
and
it
wasn't
until
then
that
we
took
this
extreme
measure
and
granted.
D
We
believe
it
is
as
extreme,
but
there
was
no
other
way
to
get
their
attention,
comply
with
the
law
and
that's
a
condition
to
their
what
zoning
is
to
comply
with
health
laws,
and
so
that's
what
we're
asking
this
council
to
enforce,
but
we're
not
here
by
choice
or
to
be
heavy-handed
we're
here
at
really
by
default.
We
have
no
other
way
to
get
their
attention
to
enforce
the
safety
plan.
We
think
that
they
definitely
have
gotten
your
message,
our
message
to
do
so
and
that
it's
it's
critical
and
it's
important.
D
So
again
it
has
it's
had
this
enforcement
effort
has
had
the
effect
that
was
intended,
which
is
to
get
people
to
take
the
mass
requirements
seriously
and
to
enforce
it
in
their
businesses.
And,
let's
all
move
forward
after
this-
and
I
and
I
miss
wells
is
correct.
Mr
laro
came
to
us
with
the
proposal
for
no
suspension
and
to
give
us
money.
This
isn't
about
getting
money
for
whether
it's
money
paid
to
the
city
or
money
paid
to
a
not-for-profit.
D
It's
about
getting
the
establishment
to
comply
with
the
health
law,
and
so
he's
agreed
to
do
that.
He
proposed
the
seven
day
suspension,
not
the
city.
We
were
actually
surprised
to
see
that
he
came
back
with
with
that
amount.
D
So
it's
a
little
disingenuous,
mr
laro,
to
say
that
it
was
that
it's
inconsistent,
not
fair
compared
to
others
when,
when
you
propose
that
that
that
term,
as
far
as
the
suspension
is
concerned,
so
you
know
council,
I
I
have
no
problem
with
you
being
consistent
with
you,
know
previous
penalties
and
and
doing
the
same
for
this
establishment,
but
just
know
that
they're,
the
ones
that
propose
the
seven
day
suspension
time
frame.
E
I'm
not
trying
to
get
a
debate
between
two
very
well
qualified
attorney,
but
I
can
see
that
from
what
I
understand.
What
ms
grimes
just
said,
that
the
difference
is,
is
the
amount
of
a
warning
that
we're
giving
prior
to
the
citations
themselves
of
the
violation
is
a
little
different
than
it
was
given
to
two
and
four,
and
I
would
imagine
that
mr
laro,
being
the
good
attorney
that
he
is
more
likely
came
into
agreement
after
discussing
it
with
his
client.
E
I'm
only
making
an
assumption,
not
a
fact
of
law,
and
that's
why
I
asked
that
question.
Thank
you
very
much.
Both
of
you.
A
G
Sure,
thank
you,
sir.
You
know
with
regards
to
negotiations
and,
ultimately
a
request
by
mr
laro
for
seven
days
versus
three
days.
It
was
just
that
a
request
which
I
guess
we
can
pay
some
deference.
I
don't
I'm
not
sure
if
there
was
anything
signed
or
what
have
you
but
a
request.
That
obviously
is
entitled
to
some
level
of
deference.
You
know
my
big
challenge
with
regards
to
looking
at
three
versus
seven
days
and
now
with
this.
G
G
I
don't
mean
to
infer
that
whatsoever,
but
in
other
words
we
can't
see
everything
one-on-one
through
a
hearing,
so
you
know
I
we
we
appear
to
have
a
a
an
institution
here
that
is,
you
know,
requesting
for
a
finding
of
a
violation,
and
then
the
issue
seems
to
be
whether
it's
three
days
or
seven
days
that
are
going
to
be
going
there
and
I
think
we're
dealing
with
a
lot
of
different
issues
and
when
I
look
at
this
plan
put
forth
by
mr
laro
with
regards
to
the
efforts
that
have
been
taken
after
the
fact
after
the
fact
to
you
know,
address
this
public
health
challenge,
that's
certainly
something
that
obviously
goes
in
the
right
way
and
costs
a
great
deal
of
money,
which
also
should
be
entitled
some
deference,
but
just
some
thoughts
in
that
regard.
O
Because
violations
did
occur
and
I
keep
telling
people
you
can
always
mitigate,
but
did
a
violation
occur
and
that's
what
I
said
last
time
with
council
members,
it's
like
saying:
if
you
got
into
a
fight,
did
you
strike
somebody?
Did
the
other
person
strike
you
a
battery
did
occur
or
on
a
freight
occurred.
There
was
a
violation.
O
O
My
my
take
on
this
now
you
know
the
the
the
bar
owners
and
their
attorney
came
in
and
agreed
to
seven
days.
O
We've
got
some
new
policies
that
are
put
in
place
in
reference
to
these
safety
plans
and
some
other
activities
that
are
now
going
forward
and
again.
O
This
is
only
my
perspective,
understanding
that
people
are
getting
the
message
I
I
will
be
amenable
to
maybe
five
days
versus
seven
to
to
to
give
a
little
balance
again,
I
respect
the
city
attorney's
decisions,
that's
why
I
asked
what
their
recommendation
did
it
stand,
but
I
could
be
a
minimal
to
five
days,
but
you
have
to
be
punished
because
you,
you
came
forth
to
say
that
you
know
you.
O
You
admitted
you
had
violations,
that's
just
my
take
I'll,
listen
to
the
council
members,
but
I
just
might
take
maybe
five
or
seven
and
that's
still
being
likely
according
to
ms
wells
and
our
policies,
because
it
could
be
more
up
to
30
days
and
with
three
violations.
It
could
be
more
than
that
technically.
O
So
I'd
like
to
be
fair,
you
know
you
started
hearing
the
public
talking
with
this
council.
It's
not
our
executive
order.
It's
not
our
orders,
we're
just
a
judge
now
that
these
things
have
brought
to
us.
Now
we
have
to
make
a
decision.
We
don't
want
to
punish
any
business
owners,
we're
all
the
business
owners.
O
The
city
has
done
a
lot
with
trying
to
get
money
to
help
the
small
business.
I
remember
I
was
a
catalyst
about
the
one
tampa
a
catalyst
about
the
number
of
years
they
wanted
to
impose
on
small
businesses.
I
said
no,
a
small
business
takes
at
least
three
to
five
years
to
grow
and
they
in
the
city
of
green
brought
that
down.
So
I
really
want
to
hear
about
we're
not
trying
to
help
the
small
business
owners,
because
we
did
that.
O
O
O
Mr
rain
is
almost
80
years
old.
God
bless
he's
still
here
he's
still
here
I
suffered.
I
struggled
every
day
in
our
house
I
suffered,
so
I
have
compassion
for
those
who've
lost
loved
ones.
I
have
compassion
about
the
constitution.
Constitution
hasn't
always
been
feared,
all
people,
let's
throw
that
out
the
window.
Let's
look
at
the
real
facts.
O
If
a
rule
is
in
place,
can
we
follow
the
rules
and
if
we
can't,
let's
find
out
how
we
can,
if
we
don't
have
the
resources,
then
we
need
to
ask:
how
can
we
get
some
resources
or
how
can
we
someone
show
us
how
to
put
this
safety
plan,
which
I
think
is
a
marvelous
idea
staff
to
come
up
with
this
now
I
think
it's
gonna
help
a
lot
of
business
owners
understand
and
get
them
on
the
right
track,
but
again
I'm
unbeatable,
if
if,
if
other
counselors
want
to
chime
in
maybe
five
days
from
school
in
this
group,
just
to
try
to
show
the
public
and
show
that
we,
we
are
not
the
bad
guys
in
the
situation,
but
we
have
to
be
the
bad
guys
at
some
point
to
look
out
for
everybody.
G
Thank
you,
yeah,
and,
and
thank
you
for
that,
and
you
know
just
a
couple
of
thoughts
on
things
that
we
hear
with
regards
to
the
small
steps
that
the
public
can
take
to
prevent
the
spread
of
covet
19
a
pandemic
representing
a
pandemic
that
has
killed
over
500
000
of
our
fellow
americans.
Wear
mass
wash
your
hands
be
socially
distant,
and
whenever
comes
your
time
get
vaccinated,
you
know
I
I
have
not
been
infected
with
with
coven
19.
G
My
time
could
come.
Who
knows
right,
but
I
I
always
do
that,
and
I
say
that
the
reason
why
we
take
steps
to
protect
the
public
is
for
the
vulnerable
and
for
the
at
risk.
I
think
of
three
people
in
in
my
life
I
think
of
my
mother,
who
is
in
her
70s
our
senior
citizens,
the
the
men
and
the
women
who
who
raised
us.
G
I
think
of
my
brother,
juan
who
is
mentally
and
intellectually
disabled
and
different
people
like
him
who
have
disabilities
and
pre-existing
conditions
and
are
more
vulnerable
because
of
so
many
different
challenges
to
the
the
the
harms
of
covet
19
and
I
think
of
people.
Like
my
my
good
friend
mick,
who
is
a
vietnam
veteran
decorated,
a
marine
and
who
has
cancer
from
ancient
orange
everywhere,
mick
goes.
G
He
wears
a
mask
with
the
sign
of
the
united
states
marine
corps
on
there
and
he
always
asked
that
other
people
around
him
wear,
masks
and
mick
who
went
to
vietnam
and
was
in
combat
won't
step
into
a
restaurant
where
people
aren't
masked.
We
do
these
things
for
people
like
my
mom,
for
people
like
juan
my
brother
and
for
people
like
mick,
the
marine.
G
That's
why
we
do
things,
but
we
got
to
do
things
in
a
way:
that's
also
common
sense
and
implementation,
and
and
what
not-
and
you
know
I
I
look
at
this
business
and
this
establishment
and
and
the
the
steps
that
they've
taken
afterwards
and
again
without
and
that's
and
I
got
a
problem
which
is
you
know,
we're
being
asked
to
deviate
just
a
little
bit
from
what
may
have
been
agreed
to
in
one
form
or
another
right
without
looking
at
the
larger
picture.
You
know.
G
Part
of
the
picture
that
I
look
at
is
that
this
establishment
has
taken
steps
to
remedy
challenges
that
were
there,
and
we
also
have
to
make
sure
in
assessing
this
a
penalty
in
a
violation
phase
that
we,
you
know,
take
care
of
other
exterior
issues
and
and
try
to
mitigate
the
harm
that
could
come
to
other
people,
including
people
that
work
at
this
establishment
from
there.
G
P
If
I
may
respond
to
that,
you
said
something
that
caught
my
attention.
You
said
this
this
may
have
been
agreed
to.
This
was
not
only
agreed
to
this
was
offered
by
mr
laro.
So
what
is
before?
You
is
not
a
proposal
from
the
city
that
we're
imposing
upon
the
establishment.
This
came
from
the
establishment
and
I
believe
the
seven
days
was
thoughtful
on
their
part,
recognizing
that
other
establishments
recommended
are
represented
by
mr
laroche
got
three
days
for
one
notice
of
intent.
This
is
three.
A
P
G
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
and
and
ms
wells
thank
you
for
that.
I
misspoke
when
I
said
that,
and
I
believe
after
I
said
that
I
amended
my
remarks
so
you're
100
right.
It
wasn't
when,
when
I
said
that
I
was
like
no
wait,
they
did
agree
to
it.
So
I
I
I
believe
I
amended
that
and
I
originally
misspoke,
but
thank
you
for
that.
Thank
you.
A
E
E
Yes,
I
would
like
to
agree
to
the
or
make
a
motion
to
agree
to
the
settlement
as
presented
by
council.
A
Second,
we
have
a
motion
from
councilman
carlson,
senator
councilman,
sidrow
roll
call.
G
E
Sorry,
the
city,
miss
wells,
open
city.
F
G
I'd
rather
have
a
few
less
days
on
principal
I'll
I'll
vote.
No
and
if
there's
vote
no
for
now.
P
P
The
second
notice
of
intent
was
issued
on
january
27
2021
for
an
offense
that
occurred
on

9th
also
included
in
the
settlement
is
the
establishment's
proposed
health
and
safety
plan
which
they
would
have.
B
R
R
R
The
only
other
thing
I
wish
to
discuss-
and
actually
mr
laro
touched
on
it
briefly-
is
for
the
clubs
whose
license
are
being
suspended.
I
wonder
if
it's
appropriate
that
the
tickets
may
be
dismissed.
I
think
it's
within
the
authority
of
the
city
to
dismiss
those
citations,
we're
already
paying
a
great
penalty
with
everything
we're
doing
with
the
safety
plans
with
hiring
lawyers
with
dealing
with
disgruntled
patrons.
We
have
gotten
several
letters
from
patrons
who
have
been
objected.
R
You
know
threatening
litigation,
so
it's
a
very
expensive
process.
We
also
had
a
change
out
of
the
air
conditioning
and
air
filter
systems,
I'm
not
100
sure
of
the
cost,
but
I
believe
it
was
about
26
000.
With
all
of
these
things
that
you
know
I
I
would
just
ask
somebody.
Consider
the
city
council
maybe
discuss
the
possibility
of
not
you
know
piling
on
with
the
tickets
that
maybe
the
tickets
could
get
dismissed
in
lights.
I
did
not
say
this
previously
to
the
city
attorney.
I
just
thought
about
it.
R
O
O
Two
different
issues:
I
understand
about
the
bar
scene
and
we're
talking
to
you
if
there's
a
reference
to
how
the
bouncers
deal
with
the
unruly
patrons
and.
R
O
E
Miss
wells,
can
you
address
his
his
comment
about
the
the
fines
or
the
tickets
and,
if
it's
appropriate,.
P
The
with
regard
to
the
enforcement
of
the
citations,
my
office
is
continuing
to
look
at
how
to
handle
those
and
whether
or
not
it
would
be
appropriate
to
resolve
them
without
prosecution
based
upon
these
notices.
But
that
is
an
ongoing
analysis
and
that's
appropriately
left
with
the
city
attorney's
office
for
review.
R
B
S
A
N
S
Hi,
I
guess
you
can
take
us
down
now,
since
I'm
up
here,
I'm
attorney
candace
calucci
with
the
kaluchi
law
group,
and
I
would
like
to
make
a
couple
comments.
Just
in
general,
I
was
supposed
to
speak
on
piranha,
but
they
didn't
allow
me
to
come
up
because
they
didn't
know
that.
I
was
here
to
speak
on
that.
So
this
is
for
pranam.
This
is
for
all
of
the
the
nightclubs
in
general,
and
I
think
it
should
be
made
extremely
clear
to
the
board.
S
I
know
that
it
is
a
tireless
effort
to
try
to
find
that
balance
between
the
safety
and
also
allowing
local
businesses
to
still
go
forward,
but
I
think
it
should
be
made
extremely
clear
that
there
is
a
an
attempt
for
selective
enforcement
that
is
happening
with
the
clubs
in
ibore,
and
this
is
not
the
first
time
in
history.
It's
happened,
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
because
of
the
type
of
patrons
that
visit
these
establishment
or
just
the
idea
that
the
public
has
turned
and
villainized
ibor
for
years.
S
On
being
this
dangerous
place,
that
has
also
been
a
place
that
has
provided
jobs
for
thousands
and
thousands
of
local
family
members
and
friends,
a
place
where
people
can
come
from
all
over
the
the
world
to
to
give
money
to
the
city
and
an
effort
to
enjoy
themselves
just
by
coming
down
to
ebor.
S
So
it
should
be
made
very
clear
that
it
that
what's
happening
is
that,
on
thursday,
friday
saturday
nights,
which
are
the
key
nights
for
ebor
when
it
comes
to
the
nightclubs,
the
code
enforcement
is
coming
around
twice
a
night
to
all
of
these
businesses
looking
and
trying
to
make
these
actual
violations,
and
that
has
not
been
made
clear.
So
most
people
in
the
city
of
tampa.
If
you
ask
them
what
code
enforcement
looked
like,
they
wouldn't
know
what
they
look
like,
but
ask
anybody
in
ebor
what
they
look
like
and
they'll.
S
Tell
you
exactly
what
they
look
like.
This
is
not
been
something
that
has
been
equal
going
around,
just
like
another
person
had
said,
ask
how
many
times
they've
been
into
other
big
businesses.
So
it
becomes
very,
very
disheartening
when,
because
of
covid,
these
businesses
were
forced
to
shut
down,
so
what
really
should
be
happening
would
be.
Nice
is
for
the
is
for
the
board
to
say.
S
Okay
here
we
are
now
we
have
laid
the
hammer
down
with,
and
we
started
that
at
the
beginning
of
january,
even
though
after
the
governor
of
desantis
has
come
forward
and
made
the
emergency
order
months
prior
where
he
said
he
was
going
to
suspend
all
mass,
you
know,
penalties
and
and
fines,
because
he
was
so
focused
on
making
sure
that
small
businesses
were
able
to
stay
alive
during
this
and
had
already
been
shut
down.
S
S
The
minute
that
you
were
that
they're
in
front
of
you,
it
should
have
been
giving
the
deference
to
the
fact
of
what
have
you
guys
been
doing
in
effort
to
be
reasonable,
and
I
can
tell
you
because
I've
seen
the
evidence
that
the
code
enforcement
walks
into
some
of
these
establishments
are
there
all
of
five
minutes
and
then,
as
soon
as
they
see
someone
who
violates.
I
take
a
picture,
and
I
know
the
board
seemed
to
be
confused
on
what
reasonable
efforts
were
in
those
strict
liability.
S
And
just
because
you
see
a
picture
with
someone
out
without
a
mask
does
not
bleed,
does
not
mean
that
the
establishment
violated
their
obligation
to
take
those
reasonable
efforts.
So
I
understand
the
bigger
issue
here
and
we're
all
concerned
with
health,
but
it
should
be
made
very,
very
clear
to
the
board
that
this
is
not
an
equal,
an
equal
opportunity
for
everybody.
It
really
has
been
a
focus
for
businesses,
and
that
should
be
apparent
to
anybody
looking
at
this
because
ask
how
many
businesses
are
here
that
are
from
eboor.
S

A

Mr
chair,
on
item
number
six,
I
I
moved
that
we
agreed
to
accept
the
agreement
between
club
sky
located
at
1509
east
8th
avenue
in.
L
A
B
F
A
P
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
King
corona
cigars,
located
at
1523
east
7th
avenue.
This
item
is
before
you,
based
upon
a
notice
of
intent
that
was
issued
on
january
21st,
2021
based
upon
offenses
that
occurred
on
december
17,
2020
and
january
15
2021
prior
to
the
citations
and
the
notice
of
intent
being
issued.
Code
enforcement
inspectors
met
with
representatives
for
king
corona
three
times
back
in
july,
when
establishments
were
starting
to
open
up
again
and
then
again
on
december
31st
2020.
P
The
settlement
stipulation
presented
for
your
approval
today
includes
a
finding
that
there
was
a
violation
of
section
27-318
subsection
c1f,
however,
that
there
shall
not
be
a
suspension
based
upon
the
notice
and
based
upon
the
health
and
safety
plan
proposed
by
king
corona,
which
is
incorporated
into
the
settlement.
I'm
available
to
answer
any
questions.
A
B
H
Go
ahead,
sir
council.
As
soon
as
the
owner
was
aware
of
the
citations,
each
of
the
employees
were
reviewed
with
all
of
the
conditions
that
were
required
for
compliance.
You
have
copies
of
each
of
those
stipulations
signed
by
every
employee
of
king
corona.
A
O
A
O
Mr
simran
I'll
move
item
number
seven
with
the
agreement
with
the
city
and
the
establishment.
Yes,.
A
O
Miss
wells,
I
think
you
guys
have
done
a
great
job
in
trying
to
negotiate
these
settlements.
I
applaud
you
for
your
efforts.
O
P
So
I
think,
as
a
result
of
this
process,
with
the
hearings
before
city
council,
each
establishment
that
has
been
issued
a
citation
is
looking
at
those
steps
that
they
can
take
in
order
to
be
proactive,
and
I
think
that
reflects
on
the
fact
that
I
believe
this
weekend
and
last
weekend,
no
citations
were
issued
as
a
result
of
the
inspections
that
were
conducted.
Miss
grimes
at
the
beginning
of
today's
meeting
indicated
that
75
inspections
were
done
each
night
this
weekend.
O
I
was
just
wondering
you
know
that
way.
People
can't
say
well,
I
didn't
know
I
was
a
violation
if
you
have
their
safety
plans
or
if
there's
just
a
general
adherence
to
they,
they
may
not
have
to
submit
it
to
us,
but
at
least
have
it
on
hand.
So
if
code
goes
there
and
view
the
plan,
I'm
just
looking
at
options
that
way,
we
don't
have
to
go
down
this
road.
