SECONDED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY. GO AHEAD. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL, SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL DEPARTMENT. CITY COUNCIL SCHEDULED THESE PUBLIC HEARING SESSION 27-318 OF VIOLATION OF THE 27-319 OF THE CITY CODE. COUNCIL GRANTS A LOT OF -- AND STAFF ADMINISTRATIVELY GRANTS APPROVAL FOR ALCOHOL BEVERAGE PERMITS AND ONE IS A SPECIAL RESTAURANT PERMIT. PERMIT FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES TO ALLOW FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS TO HAVE A PERMIT WITHOUT GETTING A LICENSE FROM THE STATE, BUT ONE OF THE CONDITIONS ON THOSE IS THAT THEY MAINTAIN AT LEAST 51% OF THEIR SALES IN FOOD. AND SO AS PART OF THE GRANTING OF THIS TYPE OF PERMIT THROUGH THE CITY, SECTION 27-319, WHICH I HAVE DISTRIBUTED COPIES OF TO COUNCIL REQUIRES THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER OR THE HOLDER OF THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE LICENSE KEEP AND MAINTAIN BOOKS AND RECORDS THAT SHOW THAT THEY, IN FACT, ARE COMPLYING WITH THAT 51% GROSS SALES OF FOOD AND 49% SALES OF ALCOHOL. YOU WILL SEE THERE IN ACTION -- SUBSECTIONS A-1, A THROUGH D IS REQUIREMENT TO MAINTAIN SEPARATE BOOKS AND RECORD AND HAS TO IDENTIFY THE DAILY SALES OF FOOD AND ALCOHOL AND THEN GROSS SALES OF FOOD AND ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE FOR EACH CALENDAR YEAR. THEN IN SUBSECTIONS A-2, PROPERTY OWNER AND HOLDER OF THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE LICENSE IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A SIGNED STATEMENT TO THE DEPARTMENT REFLECTING SEPARATELY THE GROSS SALE OF FOOD AND THE GROSS SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE MADE FROM THE BUSINESS FOR THE PROCEEDING ANNUAL PERIOD. YOU WILL SEE IS SUBSECTIONS, B, SORRY, 2-B, THOSE STATEMENTS MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY BY HAND DELIVERY MAIL OR POSTMARKED ON OR BEFORE THE 31st DAY OF JANUARY OF EACH YEAR. SUBSECTIONS B OF SECTION 27-319 LISTS THE PENALTIES FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH ANY PART OF THE SUBSECTIONS. I WANTED TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO SUBSECTIONS C AS WELL, NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ANY PART OF THIS SECTION SHALL BE DEEMED A VIOLATION OF THE SECTION AND SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 27-318. COUNCIL WILL RECALL THAT 27-318 AUTHORIZES COUNCIL TO SUSPEND OR REVOKE THE APPROVAL FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES OF AN ESTABLISHMENT WHEN COUNCIL DETERMINES AFTER CONDUCTING A PUBLIC HEARING THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER OR HOLDER OF THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE HAS BEEN FOUND TO VIOLATED ANY ONE OF A LAUNDRY LIST OF ITEMS. SPECIFICALLY TO THESE. AND AGAIN, I PROVIDED COPIES OF SECTION 27-318. IF YOU GO TO PAGE 506, LIST THERE IN THAT LAUNDRY LIST IS VIOLATED ANY PART OF SECTION 27-319, RECORDS, ANNUAL REPORTS IN THAT R ZONING CLASSIFICATION. AND ALSO AS KIND OF A CATCH-ALL, VIOLATED ANY SECTION OF CHAPTER 27, WHICH OBVIOUSLY 27-319 IS A PART OF. THOSE ARE THE BASES OF THESE HEARINGS TODAY. EACH OF THE ESTABLISHMENTS WE SENT OUT LETTERS TO ABOUT 58 ESTABLISHMENTS EACH OF WHICH FAILED TO PROVIDE A WRITTEN REPORT TO THE CITY IN A TIMELY MANNER BY JANUARY 31 OF 2025. AND SOME WE HAVE NOTICED THEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY CODE REQUIREMENT PUBLIC HEARING 27-318. AND AS COUNCIL MAY RECALL, WE HAVE DONE A NUMBER OF THESE HEARS PREVIOUSLY AND COUNCIL MAY SUSPEND UP TO 30 DAYS FOR THE FIRST VIOLATION OF 27-318. IN TERMING WHETHER TO SUSPEND OR REVOKE AN APPROVAL OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF PAGE 506. THE GRAVITY OF THE VIOLATION. ANY ACTION TAKEN BY THE VIOLATE TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION AND ANY PREVIOUS VIOLATIONS COMMITTED BY THE VIOLATOR. I WILL NOW TURN IT OVER TOWER RICK COTTON WHO WILL PRESENT THE CASE FOR EACH ESTABLISHMENT. AND I WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL MAY HAVE AS WE PROCEED WITH THE PUBLIC HEARINGS. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. MR. COTTON. >>ERIC COTTON: GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL, ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. FOLLOWING UP ON MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ'S STATEMENTS, EACH YEAR AT THE END -- EACH YEAR ON JANUARY 1 IS THE TIME FRAME WHERE PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO SUBMIT DOCUMENTATION TO US IF THEY HAVE AN R DESIGNATION OR ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT THEIR FOOD SALES. WE ARE JUST ASKING -- A FORM THEY FILL OUT AND TELL US THE PERCENTAGE OF THEIR SALES FOR NONALCOHOLIC FOOD AND BEVERAGES AND NONALCOHOLIC FOOD AND BEVERAGES AND COMMERCIAL INSURANCE AUDIT. A MOTION THAT COUNCIL PUT THAT BACK INTO PLAY AROUND 2008 OR SO. AND IF THEY GET THOSE DOCUMENTATION INTO US BY THE END OF JANUARY, THEY ARE CONSIDERED TO BE IN COMPLETE COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE. IF THEY DON'T DO THAT, STAFF -- DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION STAFF SENDS OUT A FOLLOW-UP LETTER SAYING -- IT IS CALLED A NOTICE OF NONCOMPLIANCE AND LATE FEE. AND IT GIVES THEM UNTIL MARCH 2 TO FILL OUT THE DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED TO STAFF. WE SENT OUT -- THERE IS 167 ESTABLISHMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT IN THE CITY OF TAMPA. OF THAT NUMBER, 109 REPORTED ON TIME. 58 DID NOT. SO THOSE ARE THE 58 THAT ARE ON THE LIST THAT MR. SHELBY HAS, I WILL BE PASSING OUT IN A MOMENT. OF THOSE 58 -- SO WHEN WE SEND OUT THE NOTICE -- THE NOTICE FOR NOTICE OF SUSPENSION THAT HAS EVERYBODY HERE TODAY. IT WAS A VERY DETAILED, LABOR INTENSIVE TO CROSS REFERENCE PROPERTY OWNERS, BUSINESS OWNERS BASED ON WHAT THE STATE HAS. AND OF THOSE 58 THAT DID RECEIVE NOTICE, THERE ARE NOW 28 ARE IN COMPLIANCE. I WILL GO THROUGH THAT LIST FIRST. FOR THOSE, STAFF IS NOT RECOMMENDING ANY ACTION ON. AND THEN THERE IS ANOTHER LIST OF PEOPLE COME INTO PARTIAL COMPLIANCE AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT RESPONDED AT ALL TO ANY OF THE NOTICE COMING BACK TO THE OFFICE. THIS IS CONSIDERED A FIRST VIOLATION BY THE CODE, SO NEXT YEAR, THE FEE IS $100 WHEN YOU FILE ON TIME. NEXT YEAR THE FEE GOES TO $500 IF YOU DON'T FILE ON TIME. SO LET ME GO THROUGH LIST FIRST OF THE ONES IN COMPLIANCE. BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW AND THEY CAN THEN GET READY TO LEAVE. I WILL GIVE THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS AND ADDRESS WE HAVE ON FILE. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: COUNCIL, I AM SORRY, SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, I DID PROVIDE COUNCIL WITH SAMPLE MOTIONS FOR YOUR EASE OF REFERENCE. I BELIEVE IF YOU HAVE THE LIST THAT MR. COTTON IS GOING TO GO THROUGH NOW, I TRIED TO COLOR CODE THE MOTIONS FOR YOUR EASE OF REFERENCE. GREEN MOTION GOES WITH THESE RESTAURANTS THAT ARE GOING NOW. I THINK WHAT WE WILL BE ASKING FOR AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE MOTION IS A FINDING OF VIOLATION. AND THEN THE ACTION OF NO SUSPENSION FOR THOSE THAT HAVE ALREADY FULL COMPLIANCE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO THE ONES THAT ARE IN COMPLIANCE, IS THAT GOING TO REQUIRE A SEPARATE HEARING FOR EACH ONE OF THESE ESTABLISHMENTS? OR WILL WE BE ABLE TO MOVE IN AS SOON AS YOU ARE FINISHED WITH YOUR PRESENTATION? WE WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE THIS ONE THING AFTER YOU ARE FINISHED WITH YOUR PRESENTATION? >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU CAN, BUT THIS BEING A PUBLIC HEARING, WE WANT SOMEONE IF THEY WANT TO ADDRESS COUNCIL INDIVIDUALLY, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT. SO WE CAN ASK -- AFTER YOU GO THROUGH THE LIST, WE CAN ASK THEM TO LINE UP. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MY NEXT YES. DO I NEED TO CALL BASED ON THE BUSINESS NAME FOR EACH ONE OF THESE BUSINESSES TO SPEAK PUB LIECALLY? >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: I WOULD SUGGEST AFTER MR. COTTON GOES THROUGH THE LIST. ASK IF ANYONE FROM THE ESTABLISHMENTS IF IT IS COUNCIL'S PLEASURE TO FIND THE VIOLATION BUT NOT SUSPEND. IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT OR ALLOW COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THAT MOTION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ, YOU CAN SAY IF YOU AGREE WITH THIS. MAYBE BEST FOR MR. COTTON TO READ THE NAMES IN THE GREEN. AND THEN THERE WOULD BE A MOTION THAT MOVES BOTH OF THOSE. FIRST PART LISTING ALL THE RESTAURANTS. AND THEN THE SECOND PARAGRAPH SO THAT THE PUBLIC AND THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE WITHIN THE GREEN, WHEN THEY HEAR THEIR NAME CALLED, THEY KNOW THAT MOTION APPLIES TO THEM AND MIGHT NEED THE MOVE FOR THEM TO FEEL COMPELLED TO STAND UP AND SPEAK. IF. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: I COMPLETELY AGREE. I WANTED COUNCIL TO BE AWARE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE WILL MAKE THE MOTION AND THE SECOND AND WITHHOLD THE VOTE SO AT LEAST THEY KNOW WHAT THE MOTION WILL BE. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: CORRECT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU VERY. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: YOU ARE WELCOME. >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT YEAR IF SHE CHOOSE TO NOT FILE TIMELY -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK THEY ALREADY ADDRESSED THAT. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL DEPARTMENT. FINDING OF VIOLATION 27-318 CARRIES A MAXIMUM SUSPENSION OF UP TO 30 DAYS. SECOND VIOLATION CARRIES WITH IT A POSSIBLE SUSPENSION OF UP TO 60 DAYS. AND A THIRD VIOLATION -- YOU KNOW A COMPOUNDING. ALSO I BELIEVE THE LATE FEE NEXT -- FOR A SECOND FAILURE TO TIMELY FILE YOUR REPORT IS $500 AND NOT $100. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: YOU ARE WELCOME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION ON THE FLOOR FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.

OKAY, VERY GOOD. I LIKE IT WHEN THEY ARE EASY. VERY GOOD. MR. COTTON. >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. THE NEXT LIST YOU ARE GOING TO COME ACROSS ARE THE ONES HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW. THESE ARE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT -- INDIVIDUAL ESTABLISHMENTS THAT HAVE COME INTO PARTIAL COMPLIANCE. SOME OF THEM HAVE SUBMITTED THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION BUT NOT THE LATE FEE. THEY SUBMITTED THE LATE FEE BUT NOT THE DOCUMENTATION OR PARTIAL DOCUMENTATION AND THE LATE FEE. FOR THOSE, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING A SEVEN-DAY SUSPENSION, BUT, AGAIN, UP TO CITY COUNCIL'S DISCRETION ON -- ON YOUR ACTION. I AM GOING TO DO THE SAME THING AND GO THROUGH THE NAMES AND THE BUSINESS NAMES AND THE ADDRESS. CRAVE RESTAURANT AND BAR -- YES, SIR? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HELPFUL TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE VIOLATION IS IF THEY ARE LATE IN THE FEE OR -- IS THAT HELPFUL? >>ERIC COTTON: I DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION IN FRONT OF ME FOR THAT. I APOLOGIZE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT'S GOOD. >>ERIC COTTON: CRAVE RESTAURANT WEST FOWLER. CASA MEXICANA WEST GANDY BOULEVARD. LANE BISTRO 17515 BRUCE B. DOWNS. DEVITO ITALIAN SPECIALTIES 200 NORTH TAMPA STREET. BLAZE PIZZA STORE 5057 EAST 14th SAFE. CARRIBEAN TWIST AT BEST COLUMBUS DRIVE.

AT 1202 NORTH FRANKLIN AND EDISON FOOD AND DRINK LAB AT 912-918 WEST KENNEDY BOULEVARD. THOSE, AGAIN, HAVE COME INTO PARTIAL COMPLIANCE AND SUBMITTED SOME OF DOCUMENTATION OR PAID THE FEES BUT NOT IN FULL COMPLIANCE YET. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL DEPARTMENT. BECAUSE THE REASONS FOR NOT COMING INTO FULL COMPLIANCE MAY DIFFER, I SUGGEST THAT COUNCIL TAKE EACH OF THESE INDIVIDUALLY AND PERHAPS CALL EACH RESTAURANT UP INDIVIDUALLY AND THEN THE MOTION I PROVIDED ON YOUR SAMPLE MOTION SHEET IS THE ONE THAT GOT THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTING ON IT. I TRIED TO DO YELLOW LETTERING BUT IT WAS HARD TO READ. THOSE ARE THE ONE S S THAT COUN MIGHT USE FOR THESE PARTICULAR ONES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WITHOUT THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE VIOLATION -- >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: VIOLATION IS THE SAME. THE VIOLATION THAT THEY FAILED TO TIMELY -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE PENALTY. WE HAVE TO WEIGH OUT THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: APPROPRIATE TO ASK THEM IF THEY PAID THE FEE. SUBMITTED THE REPORTS. WHAT ASPECTS THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO COMPLY WITH OR HAVE NOT COMPLIED WITH. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY, THANK YOU. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: YOU ARE WELCOME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS WILL BE DIFFERENT THAN THE FIRST ONE. ONE RESTAURANT AT A TIME. REPRESENTATIVE HERE FOR CRAVE RESTAURANT AND BAR AT 2001 EAST FOWLER AVENUE? NO? OKAY. SHOULD WE ACT ON THEM ONE AT A TIME? IS THERE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM CASA MEXICANA BAR AND GRILL 3642 WEST GANDY? GOOD AFTERNOON. >> HI. GOOD GOOD AFTERNOON. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: START WITH YOUR NAME FIRST PLEASE. I AM ASSUMING SHE DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH. >> YEAH, SHE IS NOT REALLY GOOD AT IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STATE YOUR NAME AND YOU CAN STATE HER NAME. >> MY NAME IS SIRIA VELASQUEZ AND MY MOM WHO IS THE OWNER OF CASA MEXICANA. WE DID RECEIVE THE NOTICE. AND I DID -- I AM THE ONE THAT IS ALWAYS IN CHARGE OF SENDING THE PAPER. I DID NOTICE THAT I SUBMITTED THE PAPER LATE DUE TO OUR -- OUR ACCOUNTING NOT SUBMITTING IT FAST FOR US. BUT THEY SAID THAT WE HAVE TO PAY A FEE. I DID NOT PAY A FEE. I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE FEE. I KNOW IN OUR PLAZA, WE GET MIXED UP SOMETIMES. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS THE CASE. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT NO FEE. ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY. OTHER THAN THAT, THE ONLY VIOLATION. SUBMITTED THE LETTER BUT DID NOT GET A NOTIFICATION OF A FEE. >> NO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STAFF, HOW DO WE CONFIRM THAT -- IS IT A RESTAURANT OWNER. HOW DO THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS LATE FEE? >> I KNOW FROM -- WHEN I RECEIVED THE COURT LETTER, THEY MADE ME SIGN AND I SPECIFICALLY SIGNED FOR THAT COURT WHEN I RECEIVED THE SPECIFIC LETTERS, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED THE PAPER. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IF YOU CAN SCOOT OVER AND LET HIM SPEAK. >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. WE SEND OUT CERTIFICATE OF MAIL. NOT CERTIFIED. IT IS ALLOWED IN THE CODE AND LITTLE LESS EXPENSIVE FOR THE CITY TO SEND IT OUT THAT WAY. CODE REQUIRES THIS INFORMATION TO BE DONE AND WE HAVE THAT EXTRA FOLLOW FOLLOW-UP. WE WOULD SEND OUT A CERTIFICATE OF MAIL TO THE ADDRESS ON FILE IN OUR SYSTEM. WHAT HAPPENS TO IT ONCE IT LEAVES THE OFFICE AND THE MAIL -- AND THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE GETS A HOLD OF IT, I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION, BUT WE DID SEND OUT THE LETTER TO THE -- TO THE INDIVIDUALS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY. >>ERIC COTTON: YES, IT IS IN THE CODE. REQUIREMENTS ARE IN THE CODE. I UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE IS SAYING SHE DIDN'T RECEIVE IT. BUT IT WAS SENT OUT. EVERYBODY ON THE LIST RECEIVED -- BASED ON INFORMATION WHEN THEY GOT THEIR ALCOHOL APPROVED TO THE CITY, THAT IS THE ADDRESS WE INCIDENT IS IT TO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I AM ASSUMING THAT WE SHOULD DEAL WITH THESE ONE AT A TIME THEN. ANYBODY COUNCIL WHO WISHES TO MAKE A MOTION ON THE FINDINGS IN THIS CASE? ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC TO WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING. >>BILL CARLSON: THEY STILL HAVE TO PAY, RIGHT? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT IS OUR DETERMINATION. >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. MR. CARLSON, THAT'S CORRECT. THEY HAVE TO PAY THE $100 FEE. >>BILL CARLSON: WHATEVER MOTION WE MAKE WILL BE SUBJECT TO PAYING THE FEE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT WILL HAVE TO BE INCLUDED IN COUNCIL'S MOTION. WHO WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS? >>LYNN HURTAK: SO MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ. QUICK QUESTION. APOLOGIES TO THE RESTAURANTS. WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN A WHILE. SO COULD WE SAY -- COULD WE PUT -- COULD WE SAY IF WE DON'T RECEIVE THE $100 BY -- >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CLOSE OF BUSINESS NEXT FRIDAY. >>LYNN HURTAK: TRYING TO THINK OF THE DATE. THE THIRD -- I AM SORRY THE 12th. I AM WAY AHEAD. APOLOGIZE. DON'T RECEIVE IT BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 4 P.M., THAT WE THEN HAVE A SEVEN-DAY -- THEN THAT'S WHEN IT KICKS IN. SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO? >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: CERTAINLY. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT WAY WE ALLOW THEM TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. BUT IF THEY DON'T COME IN BY THAT 4:00 PERIOD OR 5:00 -- WHATEVER YOU ALL RECOMMEND. IF YOU THINK EARLIER IN THE DAY WILL BE BETTER. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: CLOSE OF BUSINESS. >>LYNN HURTAK: CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON FRIDAY OR CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON THURSDAY SO YOU KNOW SO YOU CAN NOTIFY THEM? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: LET'S DO FR. >>ERIC COTTON: EITHER ONE. ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. EITHER DATE IS FINE. BECAUSE WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THIS, IF THEY NEGLECTED TO PAY THE FEE, THAT MONEY WE WILL POST PROPERTY AND SEND OUT A CERTIFIED MAIL TELLING THEM THEY ARE SUSPENDED. >>LYNN HURTAK: WOULD GO FROM MONDAY, NOT FROM SATURDAY. EXCELLENT. LET'S DO THAT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE A QUESTION REAL QUICK. THESE RESTAURANTS, DOCUMENTATION THIS IS THEIR FIRST VIOLATION, RIGHT? >>ERIC COTTON: YOU RECALL DURING COVID, THE STATE WAS FLEXIBLE WITH RESTAURANTS WHAT THEY CAN DO, SERVE AND WHAT THEY CAN SELL. TO GO BECAME A THING WITH ALCOHOL COULD YOU GET MARGARITAS TO GO AND STUFF. SO WE DIDN'T. STILL GETTING THE PEOPLE REPORTING BUT WEREN'T BRINGING THEM BACK TO CITY COUNCIL. SO MAKE -- TO ME, TO MAKE IT IN ALL FAIRNESS TO PEOPLE INVOLVED, INCLUDING THE BUSINESSES ESTABLISHMENTS, WE STARTED OFF THIS IS THE FIRST VIOLATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH. >>LYNN HURTAK: GOOD. I THINK THAT IS GREAT. SO I WILL MAKE THE MOTION TO FIND THAT CASA MEXICANA BAR AND GRILL 3642 WEST GANDY BOULEVARD VIOLATION OF 24-319 OF THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE FOR FAILURE TO FILE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS FOR THE CITY. IN LIGHT OF THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION BUT THE LACK OF -- I WILL SAY BY ACTION TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION, THAT CITY COUNCIL SUSPEND THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT ESTABLISHMENT -- AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT FOR SEVEN DAYS STARTING ON -- PLEASE GIVE ME THE DATE -- SEPTEMBER 15th? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SEPTEMBER 15TH. >>LYNN HURTAK: SO WILL BE THE 15TH. SEPTEMBER -- AT 12:01 A.M. SEPTEMBER 15, IF WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED PAYMENT BY CLOSE OF BUSINESS, I.E. 5 P.M. ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND. >>LYNN HURTAK: DOES THAT WORK FOR A MOTION? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU HAVE TO RESTATE THIS, YOU SAID 24 -- IT IS 27. >>LYNN HURTAK: I SAID 24? I APOLOGIZE, IT IS 27-319. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION -- >>LYNN HURTAK: DOES THAT MAKE SENSE. >> I HAVE UNTIL THAT DAY. >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU HAVE UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY. >> I DON'T PAY IT, THEN I GET THE SEVEN-DAY SUSPENSION. >> OKAY, CAN I KNOW WHERE I CAN PAY IT? >>LYNN HURTAK: BUT DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHY DON'T WE FINISH THIS BUSINESS BEFORE YOU GO OUTSIDE. A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ADIOS. OKAY. LEONG'S BISTRO AT 175167 BRUCE B. DOWNS. . >> GOOD AFTERNOON. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO WHY ARE YOU HERE? WHAT IS YOUR NONCOMPLIANCE? START WITH YOUR NAME, PLEASE. >> SORRY, FIRST NAME IS LINDA. LAST NAME IS LEONG. I AM THE OWNER OF THE RESTAURANT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: LEONG BISTRO? >> YES, SIR. I'M HERE BECAUSE THE REPORT WAS FILED LATE. AND I NEVER RECEIVED $100 FINE FOR WHATEVER REASON. BUT I DID PAY. AND I DID SUBMIT A REPORT. I CALLED THE PERSON ON THE LETTER, M AARLA. THE LADY I TALKED TO. SHE DIRECTED ME TO SUBMIT A PAYMENT. AND THERE IS ANOTHER PAPER I NEED TO NOTARIZE. I THINK THE REASON I AM STILL HERE IS BECAUSE ON THE REPORT, IT DOESN'T SAY I NEED TO SUBMIT THE AUDIT FROM THE INSURANCE AS WELL. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THOSE REPORTS FOR ALL THOSE YEARS, OUR ALCOHOL SALES IS ALWAYS LESS THAN 3%. LAST YEAR WAS 1%. AND NEVER OVER 5%. SO THE INSURANCE, THEY NEVER DID AN AUDIT IN THE PAST. AND THE REASON THE REPORT WAS LATE WAS BECAUSE -- THERE ARE TWO REASONS. THE FIRST REASON WAS MY DAD PASSED AWAY ON APRIL 5. I HAVE -- I HAVE HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE AS PROOF. I WAS FLYING TO NEW YORK BACK AND FORTH, BACK AND FORTH AND SLIPPED OUT OF MY MIND. THE SECOND REASON IS -- NOT REALLY A REASON, I APOLOGIZE. BUT I THOUGHT THAT IT IS DUE MAY 31. SO I DID ACTUALLY E-MAIL THE REPORT ON MAY 26, E-MAIL AS PROOF. NOT REALLY AN EXCUSE. BUT KIND OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHY. BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT. AND ALSO MY DAD PASSED AWAY. IT SLIPPED OUT OF MY MIND. AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THE $100 FINE IS NOT RECEIVED BECAUSE I WAS SO BEHIND ON MY ACCOUNTING. I HAVE BEEN FLYING TO NEW YORK ALMOST ONCE OR TWO TIMES A MONTH TO HELP MY DAD IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A HOME AIDE. EVERYTHING BECAUSE HEALTH WENT DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY AND IT WAS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. ALL MY STUFF ARE BEHIND. I GOT SO MANY LETTERS -- SO MANY LETTERS TO OPEN AFTER I CAME BACK. THEY MIGHT BE IN THE PILE, WHATEVER. IT COULD ACCIDENTALLY HAVE BEEN MIXED WITHING IT ELSE. BUT I NEVER SEEN IT AND I APOLOGIZE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: JUST TO BE CLEAR. IN YOUR OPINION, THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE AS OF THIS DATE IS THAT THE CITY IS SAYING THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR $100, IS THAT CORRECT? >> NO, I DID PAY $100. I DID PAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THEN JUST THE -- THE AUDIT THAT THEY ARE MISS SOMETHING IN. >> YEAH, SAYS AUDIT, IN THE PAST, I NEVER SUBMITTED AN AUDIT. I DON'T KNOW -- AND MY ALCOHOL SALE WAS LOW, SO THEY NEVER DID AN AUDIT ANYWAY. ALAN CLENDENIN: LET'S HEAR FROM MR. COTTON IF YOU CAN STEP ASIDE. >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO -- DON'T HAVE INSURANCE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OR FOR THE ALCOHOL COVERAGE OR DON'T DO THE AUDIT, WE SUGGEST THEM TO GIVE A NOTARIZED STATEMENT SAYING I DON'T HAVE AN INSURANCE AUDIT AND WE TAKE THAT FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH. IF -- THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATED TO HER. WE HAVE -- IF YOU ARE AWARE, THE STAFF IS RELATIVELY NEW TO WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE. SO THAT IS PROBABLY -- PROBABLY WHAT HAPPENED. AND THEY NEVER INFORMED HER SHE COULD JUST PROVIDE HER WITH A STATEMENT. SHE CAN STILL DO THAT AGAIN MUCH SIMILAR TO THE PEOPLE THAT WERE STILL UP. >>LYNN HURTAK: WE CAN DO THIS MOTION AND GIVE HER UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY TO PROVIDE THAT NOTARIZED INFORMATION. WILL THAT WORK FOR YOU? >> YES, MA'AM. DO I JUST PUT IT ON THE -- BECAUSE I -- I HAVE THE REPORT HERE. DO I PUT IT RIGHT HERE. BECAUSE I DID SUBMIT THIS -- >>LYNN HURTAK: IF WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS PART, THEN THE TWO OF YOU CAN GO OUTSIDE AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO SUBMIT THAT. DOES THAT WORK? >> YES, MA'AM. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THIS. >>LYNN HURTAK: SURE. I MOVE TO FIND THE LEONG'S HIS ASTRO 1517 BRUCE B. DOWNS BOULEVARD VIOLATION OF SECTION 27-319 OF THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE FOR FAILURE TO TIMELY FILE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS WITH THE CITY. AND IN LIGHT OF THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION, THAT CITY COUNCIL SUSPEND THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT FOR SEVEN DAYS STARTING ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2025, IF THE COURT DOCUMENTS ARE NOT FILED WITH THE CITY BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, AT 5 P.M., WHICH IS NEXT FRIDAY. REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, TIME SORRY. IF THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS ARE NOT FILED WITH THE CITY BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, AT CLOSE OF BUSINESS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.

EVEN IF THEY CHANGE -- IF ANOTHER BUSINESS MOVED IN TOMORROW AND THEY WERE SUSPENDED, THEY WOULD BE SUSPENDED. >>LYNN HURTAK: SO WHAT DO WE DO? ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK WE SHOULD PROBABLY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: NEEDS TO BE A COMBINATION. SIMILAR TO THE ONE WE DID WITH THE EVICTION BUT STILL DEMAND COMPLIANCE DOING THE FILINGS.

COTTON, IN A CASE LIKE THIS BECAUSE THE LICENSE GOES WITH THE PROPERTY, THE -- IS THERE SOME KIND OF NORTHWEST IF I THAT THE RESTAURANT NEEDS TO GIVE TO YOU SAY THEY ARE NO LONGER OCCUPYING THAT PROPERTY ANYMORE? >>ERIC COTTON: THAT THE HARD THING ABOUT ALCOHOL. AND THERE ARE CASES WHERE A HIS WILL BE OPEN THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF THE YEAR THEY THEN CLOSE AND STATE WILL REQUIRE THEM TO COME INTO THE OFFICE FOR A SIGN-OFF ON THE REST. OTHER TIMES THE BUSINESS CLOSES AND THE TENANT USES EXISTING LICENSE. SIT IS NOT AWARE OF THE CHANGE IN THE BUSINESS OWNERSHIP. SO THAT IS THE HARD PART. AS SUSAN WAS SAYING AT THE BEGINNING. THEY WENT THROUGH A LOT OF WORK TO TRUE UP THE DOCUMENTATION. BECAUSE THAT IS JUST THE ODD THING ABOUT ALCOHOL IS WE REGULATE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AND LICENSE COMES FROM THE STATE AND DOES NOT REQUIRE A NEW SIGN FOR US. WE DON'T HAVE THE CHANGE OF BUSINESS CARLSON CHARLOTTE THIS WEIGHS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO. BECAUSE THEY ARE A COMPANY A LOT MORE OUT LETS. COMING HERE FOR REPUTATION BECAUSE THAT WAS PROBABLY A SEPARATE BUSINESS AND AFFECTS THE LANDOWNER. COULD BE IN ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE SOMEBODY IS CLOSED DOWN THEY WOULDN'T SHOW UP BUT THE LANDOWNER DOES OR MAYBE NEITHER ONE. >>ERIC COTTON: SORRY TO INTERRUPT. I WAS GOING TO SAY BUT THE NOTICE FOR THIS HEARING WENT OUT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AS WELL.

CICCIO, PALM POINT AND WATER AND FLOUR, 1015 SOUTH POW HORDE. >>LYNN HURTAK: I MOVE TO FIND THAT WATER AND FLOUR ITALIAN RESTAURANT AT 1015 SOUTH HOWARD AVENUE AND CICC OH CALIFORNIA TAMPA PALMS AT 1702 PALM POINT DRIVE IN VIOLATION OF SECTION 27-319 OF THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE FOR FAILURE TO TIMELY FILE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS WITH THE CITY AND IN LIGHT OF ANY ACTION -- ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION THAT CITY COUNCIL SUSPEND THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT AS THIS ESTABLISHMENT FOR SEVEN DAYS STARTING AT 12:01 A.M. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2025 UNTIL THE FINE AND ALL DOCUMENTATION DELIVERED TO THE CITY BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 AT 5 P.M. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED. AYES CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. SANTE'S/CAFE HABANA AT SOUTH HABANA AVENUE. SANTE'S OF CAFE HABANA. OKAY, NOT PRESENT. NEXT IS URBAN AIR PARK AT 6250 COMMERCE PINES DRIVE. >> HEY, THERE DAWN ROBERTS. DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS FOR URBAN AIR. I CAME ON BOARD JUST FOR REFERENCE ON MAY 5 OF THIS YEAR. SO I AM KIND OF CLEANING UP ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN GOING ON BEFORE I CAME ON BOARD. THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE OWNER THE FIRST TIME HE HAS EVER HEARD OF A NOTICE FROM THE CITY ABOUT THE ALCOHOL SALES NEEDING TO BE REPORTED. SO ON AUGUST 7, THE OWNER, THE LANDLORD AND THE PARK ALL RECEIVED THE CERTIFIED LETTERS. BUT ACCORDING TO THE LANDLORD AND THE OWNER, NOBODY EVER RECEIVED ANYTHING BEFORE AND WOULD NOT HAVE ADDRESS IT EVEN IF I WASN'T ON BOARD YET. OWNER SAID WE SHOULD NOT BE ...ED AS IT A RESTAURANT. WE SHOULD BE A FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER. AND THAT -- NOT 51% OF OUR SALES IS FOOD. OTHER THAN THAT, I AM NOT SURE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. COTTON. YOU WILL HAVE TO CLARIFY TO COUNCIL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AND WHAT WE HAVE ON RECORD. >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. LICENSE THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT RECEIVED BACK IN 2020 WAS FOR A SPECIAL RESTAURANT. THEY WENT ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIAL RESTAURANT. IF THEY ARE NOT MEETING THAT REQUIREMENT, THEY NEED TO COME BACK IN AND REAPPLY FOR A SPECIAL USE AB 2 HEARING FOR A SMALL OR LARGE VENUE. BECAUSE THEY ARE -- THEY ARE NOT A RESTAURANT ANYMORE OR WHOMEVER WAS THERE IS BACK IN 2020. WHEN THEY MOVED IN, THEY JUST -- YOU KNOW, TOOK OVER THAT ALCOHOL LICENSE. IF THEY ARE NOT A RESTAURANT THEY NEED TO COME BACK INTO CITY COUNCIL AND APPLY FOR A NEW -- NEW ALCOHOL PERMIT AS A SMALL OR A LARGE VENUE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FROM A CITY'S FORECAST PERSPECTIVE HOW DO WE RESOLVE OF THIS IF THE LICENSE IS NOT COVERING THEIR OPERATION. >>ERIC COTTON: THAT IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION, EXCUSE ME. HE. >> FOR YOUR REFERENCE, H.H. GREG BEFORE THIS OWNER BUILT THE URBAN AIR. >>ERIC COTTON: CAN WE GET CONFIRMATION IF THE ESTABLISHMENT IS SELLING ALCOHOL AT THIS POINT? >> WE DO. WE SELL BEER, WINE, AND, LIKE, CELT ZERO -- SELTZERS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COVERED FOR BEER AND WINE NOW OR FULL LIQUOR? >> RIGHT NOW THEY ARE ESTABLISHED AS A SPECIAL RESTAURANT. REGARDLESS, RIGHT NOW THEY ARE -- THEY DON'T HAVE THE APPROPRIATE LICENSE TO BE SELLING ALCOHOL AT ALL. OR THE PERMIT FROM THE CITY OF TAMPA. DON'T KNOW WHAT HE THEIR STATE LICENSE IS, BUT RIGHT NOW, WHAT -- HOW THIS THEY ARE OPERATE SOMETHING IN VIOLATION OF THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS OUTSIDE THE PARAMETER OF WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TODAY. HOW THIS IS NOTICED? >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT DO WE DO? ALAN CLENDENIN: THING IS AN ATTORNEY QUESTION. >>ERIC COTTON: I AM GOOD WITH THAT QUESTION. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL DEPARTMENT. I MEAN, IT SOUND LIKE -- AGAIN, THEY ARE OPERATING UNDER A PRIOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT THAT WAS APPROVED AS A SPECIAL RESTAURANT. SPECIAL REPS RANT IS AN S-1 ADMINISTRATIVE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT AND NOT REQUIRED -- WHEN THEY GOVERNMENT THE APPROVAL IN 2020, NOT REQUIRED TO COME TO COUNCIL AND ESTABLISHES EARLIER CLOSING TIMES. PARAMETERS ON OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND AND SALES WERE ONLY ALLOWED IF YOU HAD WHAT USED TO BE CALLED A SRX LICENSE WITH THE STATE IS CALLED A SFS, SPECIAL FOOD SERVICE. KIND OF A COMPANION LICENSE TO OUR SPECIAL RESTAURANT THAT RIESHS 51% GROSS SALES FROM FOODS. I AM NOT SURE WHERE THE DISCONNECT HAPPENED, BUT ACCORDING TO OUR RECORDS, THEY HAVE THIS SPECIAL RESTAURANT. SO I THINK MR. COTTON IS CORRECT, THEY NEED TO COME IN AND REAPPLY FOR A DIFFERENT TYPE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO WHEN THE CITY IDENTIFIES A COMMERCIAL BUSINESS THAT -- IN THIS SITUATION THAT LICENSE OR WHATEVER, THE APPROVAL THAT THEY PREVIOUSLY HE IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CURRENT FREIGHTING ENVIRONMENT, WHAT DOES THE CITY NORMALLY DO IN THIS SITUATION? >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. WE INFORM THE BUSINESS OWNER THEY NEED TO APPLY FOR A BE A,B LICENSE TO GET THE CORRECT DESIGNATION. WHAT DO THEY DOE WITH THE EXISTS LICENSE. RIGHT NOW THEY ARE IN VIOLATION THE CODE. THEY ARE NOT OPERATING WITH THE R DESIGNATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DO WE ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE UNTIL THEY COME INTO COMPLIANCE? COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>ERIC COTTON: THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION. >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT I WAS GOING TO RECOMMEND IS KIND OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE WITH EVERYBODY ELSE, BUT THEY HAVE UNTIL FRIDAY OF NEXT WEEK TO COME IN AND START A CASE. BUT IT IS REALLY UP TO YOU ALL. I MEAN, THIS IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO RELY ON YOU AS TO WHETHER -- IF THEY ARE NOT OPERATING UNDER A CURRENT CORRECT LICENSE, THEN I DON'T KNOW THAT WE CAN EVEN DO THAT, BECAUSE THEY -- IT SOUNDS TO ME IF THEY ARE NOT WORKING UNDER THE KERR CENT CORRECT LICENSE, THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL ALCOHOL. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF COUNCIL GIVES THEM, LET'S SAY AN EXTRA WEEK BEFORE THEY HAVE PUT IN A SUSPENSION, THEN WOOP THAT GIVE THEM ENOUGH TIME TO BE ABLE TO COME IN AND -- THE QUESTION WOULD BE IF COUNCIL MAKES A MOTION, WOULD THEM COMING IN FOR A CHANGE FOR A SU-2 STAY THE SUSPENSION? >>ERIC COTTON: THE ALCOHOL PROCESS -- RIGHT NOW THEY ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE CODE, NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE REPORTING BUT JUST IN VIOLATION OF THE CODE, BECAUSE HOW THEY ARE OPERATE SOMETHING NOT N COMPLIANCE WITH THEIR APPROVED AB. >>MARTIN SHELBY: FROM A PERSPECTIVE, LET'S SAY NOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT, WHAT DOES -- IT IS A ZONING VIOLATION, IS THAT CORRECT? IF. >>ERIC COTTON: A VIOLATION OF THE AB AND CHAPTER 27, YES, THAT'S CORRECT. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF YOU NOTIFYING THEM THAT THEY ARE OUT OF COMPLIANCE. >>ERIC COTTON: THIS HEARING IS NOW NOTIFICATION. WHAT NORMALLY HAPPENS WOULD GO FOR A SUSPENSION HEARING FOR FOR THE R DESIGNATION BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE CORRECT CLASSIFICATION BY US. THEY ASK THE APPLICANT -- THE QUESTION IS -- I AM NOT SURE WHAT LICENSE THEY HAVE FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA EITHER. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS SOUNDS TO ME AS THOUGH -- SHALL SORB THIS IS THE FIRST -- THIS IS THE FIRST MOMENT THAT THE CITY OF TAMPA BECAME AWARE OF THE POSSIBLE VIOLATION. SO IF THIS DIDN'T OCCUR IN THIS CHAMBER, THIS -- WHAT SHOULD -- WHAT IS THE NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA SHOULD BE SOUNDS TO ME LIKE WHAT YOU SAID WOULD START THIS PROCESS. THIS WILL MAKE THIS ISSUE MOOT. AND YOU A YOU WILL WILL -- AND YOU ALL WILL START FRESH WITH PURSUING THIS LINE OF ENFORCEMENT. AUTOMAKERS. COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM NOT A LAWYER -- NOT THAT THEY ARE AT FAULT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW. IF THEY APPLY IT WILL TAKE MONTHS -- A MONTH OR TWO TO GET HERE. SO WHAT ARE WE DOING? YOU CAN'T -- YOU DO ONE, YOU GOVERNMENT TO DO ALL OF THEM. THE FIRST CASE THAT I HEARD OF THIS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FIRST TIME THE CITY OF TAMPA BECAME AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL VIOLATION OF CODE. SO WHATEVER HAPPENS NORMALLY INVISIBLE TO US IN CHAMBER, STAFF SHOULD START THERE ARE AS THE STEP ONE OF THAT PROCESS, OUTSIDE OF THIS. AND THAT WILL -- AND I DON'T HOW WE RECTIFY IN CASE TODAY BECAUSE THIS IS KIND OF MOOT. COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: JUST SAID A DIFFERENT WAY. YOU HAVE ONE REPRESENTATIVE WHO SAID ONE THING AND THAT LEADS YOU -- SOME EVIDENCE THAT TOUGH NOW. BUT DON'T YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN OFFICIAL DETERMINATION? WOULD SOMEBODY, FOR EXAMPLE -- DON'T YOU HAVE A PROCESS FOR AN OFFICIAL DETERMINATION IF THEY ARE OUT YOU HAVE COMPLIANCE AND MAKE THAT OFFICIAL DETERMINATION BASED ON WHAT THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID TODAY? >>ERIC COTTON: I THINK -- ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. WE CAN MAKE THAT CAN DETERMINATION BASED ON WHAT THE REPRESENTATIVE JUST SAID. INDICATED THEY ARE NO LONGER A RESTAURANT AND DON'T MEET THE 59-49. THEY NEED TO COULD BACK IN AND GET A NEW LICENSE FROM THE CITY TO OPERATE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS ALL CAN YOU HAPPEN OUTSIDE OF THE CHAMBER. HOW DO YOU WE CLEAR THIS OFF OUR DOCKET TODAY? >>ERIC COTTON: THEY ARE IN VIOLATION. THE QUESTION COMES UP, WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE MECHANISM. DO YOU SUSPEND THE ALCOHOL LICENSE THAT LEAVES THEM WOULDN'T THE ABILITY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE ATTORNEY ON THAT ONE. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL DEPARTMENT. I THINK IT IS -- CERTAINLY WITHIN COUNCIL'S DISCRETION BUT SEEMS IT WILL HAD BEEN DAY PROP YACHT TO ALLOW THEM A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME TO APPLY FOR AND HAVING PROCESSED A NEW AB PERMIT APPLICATION. IMSAY THAT BEING FAMILIAR WITH THAT PROCESS, IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME. THEY WILL HAVE TO HAVE A SITE PLAN PREPARED -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: 90 DAYS. >>LYNN HURTAK: AT LEAST. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SORRY DID YOU SAY 90 DAYS. CARLSON DPRARZ PRO-- KAZAKHSTAN >>BILL CARLSON: FROM A PROCEDURAL, TO PUT THIS PAST THE DATE AND YOU ADDITIVELY ADMINISTRATIVELY WOULD CANCEL THIS. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: I AM TRYING TO THINK OF WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR THE AB 2. >>ERIC COTTON: AB BY THE TIME IS SUBMITTED BY POUR OFFICE, A THREE-AND-A-HALF-MONTH PROCESS. SOME OF THE DOCUMENTATION THEY MAY ALREADY HAVE GIVEN THE FACT AN EXISTING SITE PLAN ON THE PROPERTY AND AN EXISTING LEGAL DESCRIPTION. SOME OF THAT MAY BE DONE. IN RESPONSE TO MR. -- COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON, I GUESS THAT WOULD BE AN OPTION. COUNCIL COULD CONTINUE THIS. GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK AND REVISIT THIS IF THEY ARE NOT N -- IN FRONT OF YOU FOR AN INAB PERMIT IN THREE AND A HALF OR FOUR MONTHS. AT THAT POINT, COUNCIL CAN TAKE THE ACTION TO SUSPEND. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FOUR MONTHS WILL BE JANUARY. >>ERIC COTTON: ALREADY CLOSE TO THE END OF THE YEAR. >>LYNN HURTAK: THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY. JANUARY -- WHAT IS TODAY, THE 4th. JANUARY 4th. >>ERIC COTTON: THE ALCOHOL ARE USUALLY LATER IN THE MONTH, THE FOURTH THURSDAY OF THE NIGHT. >>LYNN HURTAK: HOW ABOUT THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE -- >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SORRY, I WANT TO REMIND COUNCIL. YOU DON'T HAVE ALCOHOL BEVERAGE HEARINGS IN NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER DUE TO THE THANKSGIVING AND NAMES HOLIDAYS. USUALLY A BACKLOG IN JANUARY, SORE PERHAPS MARCH 1 WILL BE JUST TO GIVE THEM THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY. >>LYNN HURTAK: PERFECT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>BILL CARLSON: I WAS TRYING TO DO ONE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ALL YOURS, COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: ERIC, THE IDEA IS THAT YOU WILL EITHER REPLACE THIS ONE WITH A NEW ONE OR YOU WOULD HAVE CANCELLED IT AND SET AN EARLIER DATE. SO ANYWAY, I MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE TO FEBRUARY 1 -- MARCH 1. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF YOU COULD YOU -- >>BILL CARLSON: -- THE URBAN AIR PARK AB-1-20-0000024 AT 625067 COMMERCE PONDS DRIVE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHAT DATE, TIME AND PLACE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: EVENING SESSION MARCH 125:01. >>MARTIN SHELBY: REREZONING NIGHT? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: FEBRUARY 26. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FEBRUARY 26. >>MARTIN SHELBY: FEBRUARY 26, 5:01 P.M.

MY PROBLEM IS ONCE WE KNOW SOMETHING AND DOING IN. IF SOMETHING HAMS AT THAT THE RESTAURANT OVER THE DRINK, THE CITY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE. BECAUSE THE LICENSE WAS NOT THERE, AND WE KNEW ABOUT IT. I AM JUST SAYING THAT -- I AM NOT A BRIGHT GUY OR ANYTHING ELSE, BUT I HAVE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK A COUPLE OF TIMES. WHAT I AM SAYING IS, YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE US RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMETHING THEY DID UNKNOWINGLY. THAT'S ALL I AM GOING TO SAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANYBODY ELSE? >>BILL CARLSON: GET MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ TO WEIGH IN ON THAT. UNDER/* MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE STAFF WILL LOOK INTO THAT PARALLEL ISSUE. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ. I THINK THIS IS A COMMON REMEDY WHEN SOMEONE CAN'T MEET THEIR REPORTING REQUIREMENT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE 51% OF SALES. UP RECENTLY HAD AN OPERATION IN YBOR CITY THAT CAME BEFORE TO YOU CHANGE THEIR SPECIAL RESTAURANT CLASSIFICATIONING TO A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PERMIT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T MEET THAT.
