>> Hello, dearest members of the Fall River Licensing Board. Tonight, I come before you as a resident of the Flint community living at 318 Jinx Street. My home directly abuts the city's Cash Street parking lot, giving
me a clear view of the top of Jinx Street at Pleasant Street, where Leonard's Package Store is located. I purchased my home in 2014, so I've seen firsthand the changes in the neighborhood, especially when
Leonard's liquor store changed hands. Since then, I've noticed an increase in people hanging in the liquor store, in the liquor store parking lot, sometimes openly drinking, sometimes trying to hide behind the dumpster on the
property. I've witnessed fist fights, including men, beating women outside and in front of the liquor store. As a city employed, I do work for the city of Fall River, tasked with revitalizing the
Flint community, specifically Pleasant Street. I've also seen drug dealing, overly intoxicated individuals, and liquor store patrons who purchase their alcohol and then sit on the steps of the Bank Five or in front of the old
Shalomar furniture store drinking, arguing, cursing, and fighting. Because I actually live in the neighborhood, no one pays any special attention to me. So, I see it all as it happens.
With the exception of the liquor store, the neighborhood has seen good changes. There's been real revitalization along Pleasant Street. The homes near mine at Jensen and Alden recently sold for $1
million. Imagine that. On Jenk Street in the Flint, new residents have purchased and updated what were once decrepit Flint properties. There's a growing sense of pride among those who live here. Multiple new businesses have
opened on Pleasant Street. The Flint is seeing real revitalization. I've watched though as the liquor store's unruly patrons create an atmosphere of fear, especially for
seniors. My own senior citizen tenant was so concerned about being robbed by liquor store patrons that she closed her Bank Five account and opened another at a local Pleasant Street bank. I've also
seen neighborhood police ask patrons lotterying in front of the bank why they're there and they simply claim we're waiting for the bus. But then when the police leave, the bus arrives and the lotteryers, they don't get on. They
just keep publicly drinking, hanging out, entering and exiting the liquor store for more drinks. In closing, I am asking the Fall River Licensing Board not to revoke the probationary status of
Leonard's liquor store at this time. The probationary period has taken place during the winter months, which had been especially cold and snowy, meaning that the usual activity that the store has seen had come to a minimal during the
cold winter months. Now that the weather is warming, we're just starting to see people coming out and gathering again near the liquor store. As a resident of the Flint and as a city of Fall River employee, I respectfully request that
Leonard's probationary status remain in place for now. And what I have for you is a copy of my letter for each of you. I did print enough, but I also included photos of the traffic, the foot traffic. Who do I give these to? Just give them
to me, okay? >> And I'll give them to >> So you will you will see pictures. There are drug interactions going on. And because I work for the city and my job is community revitalization, my job is to be out in the community and see where
are the problem areas, what is the problem, what is causing businesses not to want to move into the Flint. And me specifically, I was able to convince a doctor to consider opening up an urgent
care, an urgent care facility in the Flint. And when that doctor saw the behavior that was going on in front of that liquor store, she said, "No way." She just decided it was not the place for her to open up a business. >> Okay.
>> Thank you for your time. Do you have any questions for me? >> Well, well, wait a minute, Mike. I don't In all due respect, U Miss Sandler did this under citizens input, but we have an agenda item. >> Okay. >> This should be addressed the gender item. >> Do you want me to remain forward? >> Oh, I do. I do because they're
represented by council and I want to make sure that council's aware of your request. >> Okay. >> And you know, we'll deal with it then. So, if you could please stay here. >> Sure. And and and please forgive me. I request all of you please forgive me for not being here for that original meeting
but my husband had a heart attack so I was not around and I happened to pop open license in and I said oh my gosh there was a hearing and I've been timing it and checking the calendar because I said for the next go around >> because I got some questions about the pictures as well. >> I have video footage as well and other
businesses have been sending me footage as well. Well, we the agenda item is under um old business number seven, but the agenda goes pretty quick. So, yes, >> but please stay around if you don't mind. >> Not a problem. >> Not a problem. >> Um article two, which is one day liquor
permit St. Cecilia ban 293 Almond Street, Maria Lowour, uh for July 25th. Oh, excuse me before I get started and I do apologize for everybody. We only have a two member board tonight. Okay? Our third member is not here. So you have to have a unanimous vote. So anybody who
would desire to not go forward today, we would table it. And when when we have the third member, if you desire, you don't have to go forward today, but you have to decide before going before your agenda item when I call you. You can't go forward if things don't look good. Say, "Oh, now I want to come back next

So, um, this is kind of all new to us as well. Um, I'm willing to do what we need to do, open to suggestions if there are any. Um,
>> I think somebody I think the actual establishment came before us last summer >> and I had some concerns about being able to keep those people confined into that area. >> Um, I mean, I just don't want to see you get in trouble with your overall liquor license >> by having people think, as Mr. Pereira
rightfully states, that they can go back and forth. >> Okay. You got to just make sure you really got to tell your police detail that they got >> I I also plan on having our own um door man whatever word you want to use to be out there policing as well outside of
our the actual detail. Um >> can I make a suggestion? >> Sure. Um, detectives, is is it I don't want to give you more work. Last thing I want to do, but you think he could you can meet with him or he can meet with you guys, come to the station, whatever. I mean, upstairs and um come up with a
safety plan and he could forward it to Miss Pereira, you know. So, so we know so there is a strategy in place that they're going to be able to prevent people from walking across Burg Street because, you know, they're going to want to, you know, it's think it's a block body. >> Of course, that's why I didn't want to do >> the past. They had it in the past. They
did the direct but they they cornered off the purchase and it worked good. I actually worked at detail a few times. >> That's not what's happened. You're going to be the only right. Right. Yeah. Obviously in the future like to do get get it to that level to do what they used to do there years ago, but for this quickly and

>> Mr. Hathaway. >> Excuse me. Sorry. Glenn Hathaway, building commissioner, zzzoning officer for the city of For River. Um, Mr. Chairman, we've had some complaints from the neighbors in the past in regards to this particular
location. Um, I would ask this gentleman has not checked with us, the meaning the zoning office to see if uh they can we can work anything out or knowing that there was a change of ownership. So he's not aware, I'm sure, of the complaints
from the neighbors uh extensively from the neighbors uh whereby there were let's say uh lenting renting or leasing or borrowing uh adjacent pocketplaces from an adjacent business
um and it became contentious. So what I would like to suggest to the board if I can is that he come to the building department at some point and have a conversation with the zoning officer because I believe there is also a zoning decision on the number of vehicles that this place can
carry. We don't have that in front of us but I believe there is. Um, if it isn't in the zoning, it was in the licensing of the former owner to have a restricted number of car spaces for auto sales. Um,
yes, there is some off streetet parking on the side street that's there, but that was contentious also with the neighbors. >> Yeah. Well, you can't come off street parking. So, I would like to see the board ask the board to table this. Um, have the prospective
uh owner come to me and talk to me about it. We'll sit down. Uh, we can discuss it with perhaps the light the uh detectives also and come to a conclusion. >> I have no problem with that. I I mean, I'd rather just have this young man getting into business to make sure his
his plan is accurate, you know, because I no disrespect to him, but still only shows nine claws. I He's only handwriting them in. I'd like to know where the parking spaces are going to be to display the cars, where he's going to have customer parking and employee parking because I think that's required
under the the ordinance. I know it is. >> I agree with you. But also at the same time, I I would like to keep the young man out of trouble and make it successful for him. So >> I agree. That makes sense. >> I agree because you got an auto repair business there, too. Yeah. >> You already got that license?
>> Not yet. I I'm going to I'm going to >> the variance for that business. >> Can I see you have a variance? >> How many years ago? >> Uh 20 years ago and the various still good because the slice is still active. >> No, it's still good. The variance
doesn't go away. >> And I haven't not fired the building department because it was just a regular transfer and they said I should not was up there. at a whole time and it was a just transfer of names and for actor license and I
have missed the monies right there that did a full investigation on this matter with the neighbors. She did check with about 15 or 20 neighbors by that back in the day. She has a reports there saying there is no issues with the neighbors
whatsoever and was a win-win situation on my side because I hold that license for over 20 years. I gave up that license two years ago to change business. >> And back in the day when I >> Well, don't say that. You might want to stop talking. >> Oh, I'm sorry.
>> No, because after two years, it lapses. >> So, if you shut this place down two years ago, you don't have a business anymore, sir. >> The business was not shut off, sir. Someone else took over the license. We have a lease agreement with them and now they couldn't keep up to the business. Someone else is taking >> No, no. I I I understand, but I thought
you said it hasn't You gave up the business two years ago, meaning you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, may I elaborate a little bit? >> Well, I'm with that change of >> Can I can I I don't think you're going to have to because I think we're going to make a motion to table this and get this right because he has a variance to
operate auto repair and auto sales for not more than 20 cars. 10 only can be shown. That's pursuant to his variance. So, that's going to go through you. So, he can't have any more than 10 cars for sale, but he also has to make sure he has the requisite amount of cars for the
business itself. and he's got to I want him to know that before this. Not saying there's any problem, but I think we're going to I would entertain a table of this to the next meeting and at that point in time for him even the the the former owner to go in and see you and get these all things all resolved.
>> Just I a couple heads up before I make the motion. Um the investigation that the gentleman back there that you conducted, how long ago was that? That's all >> it's been probably about se several years. I will say that Glenn and I did work on >> frequent neighbor complaints that were coming in mostly the that there was
limited parking. There was parking >> obstructing the roadway and things of that nature. >> So this obviously this this um board has been very very pro business and we want to help you just like sty wants to help you keep you out of trouble. So, I'm going to make a motion to to table this
business until to a time in the future where you you reapply after you meet with the um upstairs with the zoning, the license, and whatever you need, whoever you need to meet with upstairs and square this stuff away and then come back once you're squared away and we'll we'll certainly entertain this business.
Again, could be as recent as next month or could be in a couple months, whatever it is. Okay. >> It's kind of like on you at this point. I don't think we can make the any conditions to the motion. You're just going to motion the table. It's up to him to do what he has to do. >> Right. But I can tell you I can tell you what I'm going to look for myself
afterwards is a detailed plan >> that shows the amount of spaces you're going to show cars to sale for sale, spaces that you have designated for the auto repair shop, spaces that you have for customer
parking, and spaces that you have for for your um excuse me, for your employees. Because by this variance, you only get 20 spaces for both businesses. That's why you're not going to have these other problems with things on the street. I want to see your plan showing
how you're allocating 20 spaces for two businesses, customers, and for employees. That I'm I'm fairly certain. I mean, I'm an attorney. I'm fairly certain that's what your variant says. You're going to have to show it. And it's not going to that's going to alleviate problems you
may have because there might be over 20 cars in total on that property. Okay? This way you don't get yourself in trouble. But I'll second that motion at the table. All in favor? >> I. >> All oppose. You can take that. That's that's that gentleman's verance. >> Okay.
>> All right. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Hway. >> Common victimist of article 4 common vix Newport Creamy Restaurants LLC 1708 President Avenue. Mark >> Bogian Gojian. But my name is Caitlyn Dodson and I'm the one that's applying

requiring that Shurog and Jant also pledge their shares uh to Northern Bank and Trust. >> Okay. So, we're approving a ple basically a pledge of the license from from the >> or I think it's this is just for a pledge of the shares because the license is already pledged um to Northern Bank and Trust and the inventory is already

It was ongoing. It is what it is. Okay. I just don't want it to become a situation where there's people hanging
around there at midnight, loud music, congregating outside. All you always just used to be a small Portuguese restaurant, maybe a bar, a little bit of a bar crowd like guys sitting there, regulars. I don't want this to become brought bringing into the neighborhood like kind of nightclub kind of
situation. I'm really really don't want that to happen. >> No, we're not having that. >> Okay. I Well, I'll tell you I I can't even vision how they would have the entertainment in there. >> Well, I haven't been there in 30 years, so I >> No, I probably 10 for me, but I remember
the bar. You go in, it was along the wall and it was a little area, not much like and it was a weird ship. It was like almost like a a long angle the bar. >> I do remember that. >> And and then you got the restaurant in the back. That's it. So, where where you going to have this? >> We still have the same. The only thing we move a lot of table. We don't have a lot of table we still have before.
>> So, so in the restaurant part or the bar pot thing? The restaurant will have a little little small area. >> Yeah. >> In pl area area that we can know. >> Yeah. >> I can show you the video like this. >> I do have a question.

you being there. I think you can admit other than you being there it's it's >> Yeah. But both live upstairs too. >> I know >> you know and I have a park in the in the back and driveway and the other guys the bar shop he told me going to let let me use like a couple park there too. His
name Mike >> Mike. Yeah. I just talked to him right now. He say anything you can buy any any paper you guys need it you know. Just Thursday, Friday, Saturday. >> Say again. >> Thursday, Friday, Saturday. >> The only thing we did we did uh is a
Sunday morning we do breakfast, brunch is the people go there like early like 11. >> No, no, no. But your entertainment you want Thursday, Friday, Saturday? >> No, we're only going to do not Thursday. We're going to do s Friday. >> Okay. >> Saturday and Sunday morning.
We're going to do like after people get out of church, we're going to do like brunch breakfast. >> What time on Sunday? >> We're going to trying to do like 12 to 4 and customer go there, help them, you know, make sure there's nothing outside parking. >> Now, I spoke to I spoke to the police
department up until this point. >> Yeah. They they they don't have many complaints, per se. Okay. And you only been open three months, which is good. You don't have many. >> Yeah. >> Um, so let me just see what else happened. I
got a couple things to say. Anybody in favor? Anybody opposed? Mr. Glenn Hathaway, building commissioner, zoning officer for the city of For River. Mr. Chairman, I have received some complaints from neighbors for parking.
Um, I would ask the board to deny this request for the entertainment due to the fact that they have no off- streetet parking whatsoever for the existing business that's there. There is the parking lots that the Oills
once had as part of their licensing agreement with the establishment of Oills has been sold off and now there is no parking whatsoever and it's seems to be detrimental to the neighborhood and here we are. we're going to take which
is a restaurant with a SLB bar um that once had parking somehow or another they were granted a uh change of views change of ownership for the license and did not check with the zoning officer on or the licensing for parking. Um thereby it's
affecting the neighbors. Um I don't know what else to ask other than to deny the license for the entertainment because it's only going to make it worse for the neighborhood. The only problem is that and I and I and we've had discussions. >> They don't have any.
>> That's fine. I you know I I I'm not so concerned about they there has been two calls to my office in regards to noise complaints. Um I've we're my girls in the office, the clerks. I tell them to tell call the police. If they tell us on
Monday or Tuesday, uh they got to wait until the weekend to call the police because that's when it's going to happen again. Now, if they don't call the police, that's I can't help that. I'm just telling you, explaining that I have received two complaints and I believe you >> our office two different times have received complaints from people in the
what I'm going to say is I'm guessing the neighborhood. But my concern here tonight is the fact that they're looking for an entertainment license with no parking whatsoever for that business. >> You mind? You know, go right ahead. Mr. H, I got to ask you a question because I
I I think you said it twice tonight that these people are getting licenses from us without checking with you on zoning. >> That's correct. >> Is that something we're messing up on? >> I don't know. It's falling through the cracks. So, >> we can't have that. That's >> I I don't want to speak out of terms, but
>> yeah, I already said that today. >> This particular >> him privately. I said somebody's got to close that loop if it is a problem. >> I talked to him. So again, there was >> let's talk about from day one with this establishment cuz that's the one we're talking about.
>> My understanding was the property the re the owners were retiring. They were selling the business and they were selling off all the real estate. The next thing I know, we were receiving permits to build in the parking lots of
Oills. Oils is closing. They they're closing the business. They're going to put apartments in where Oils was. That's what I know until I get two phone calls. My office receives two phone different phone calls at different times
from people complaining about the noise coming from Ogills and the parking arrangements. So, okay, now I start asking questions. Well, Oills is still in business. Well, how did they how did this happen? So there's a crack somewhere that that
fell through in the change of ownership and they never got the check >> with the licensing. >> So you're on top of that. >> Well, no, I talked to >> but here we are. We don't we sold the parking lots off, >> but I called today over to planning and
I was told today that there are no this that first of all, Oak Gills was opened before they ever bought any of the parking lots. that there are no zoning variances on record that ever conditioned O Gills. Nothing to do with them. >> This is years ago.
>> Yeah. That never conditioned O Gills to have any pocket. Never. So that's why they were allowed to file and and there's no parking requirement. I don't know if it's right, Glenn. And all due respect, I don't know. I called
late this afternoon in anticipation of this because I got a call about parking. And I told you I get a call about parking and I said, "Well, it's a zoning issue. If if the zoning if there was ever a variance to open that up way back when and they said you can have a
restaurant conditioned upon having 40 parking spaces, 20 parking spaces, 10. If they don't have 10, then they can't open up because it's in violation of zoning." So, what I'd like to do in fairness to these gentlemen is because you didn't even
know this was on today. In all due respect to you, you did not. You did not. >> And and I would like to to and in all patience to you guys, I'm sorry, >> maybe take a one month table of this to
find out exactly what the situation is. Well, with the pocket, as far as I'm concerned with the times they're asking, I was going to ask them to go from at least from a period to go only to six to nine. It's I know it's 1 hour less. Let's make sure it's not a problem and
they don't get any any complaints. >> See, I I respectfully disagree and I'm I'm okay. So, I'm obviously I I grew up in a FL and I'm very familiar with that area, too. They they were given not these guys way back then. O Gills was given a a license to open a restaurant.
Absolutely. Okay. And there wasn't any consideration for parking because they they weren't there was no, you know, mandate that you have to have certain amount of parkings. This fell here and this in this group, they came and they opened a restaurant and and there's there's no um there still isn't any
condition for offse off street parking because it's still a restaurant. I'm gonna have to I I tend to agree with Mr. pathway that um there's no room there for entertainment in that in that I mean there's absolutely no so my motions are going to be to deny the application
>> that's my motion I I feel that there's no room in that neighborhood fairness he's got a business and what he originally asked for now he's asking to expand we gave him the original ask which was fine he was entitled to original ask because it was just a restaurant and now he wants to make it a
entertainment facility entertainment license so My my motion is to deny the application. >> It's a point well taken. I mean based on your I'll second your motion. >> Okay. >> All those in favor? >> I oppose. So voted. Motion for
entertainment license is denied. >> Thank you. >> Sorry. >> Lennon's package store. B. Lennon's package store 1331 Pleasant Street. Terun Kel. Now let me ask you this. This is not like attorney not to be here.
>> Was he Was he instructed to be here? >> The guys are not even here. >> That's what I'm saying. This I No, no disrespect to having you hanging around, Mr. Adler. I'm just one of my colleagues who's I know Representative Peter Celino. I'm not doing it solely because he's I know him, but he never doesn't
show up. >> He said he had spoken with you about him. He said he wasn't going to show up, but just to be planning on holding office. No, no, no. I had a conversation with him and I told him that I had not gotten any from the
from the um from the police department and I told him that we were more than likely going to extend this to the summer >> because of what >> what's on the agenda? What what are we here for today for this? What's what's this for? >> We we when he first came in, we gave him
probationary period like Miss Sler rightfully stated. She's 100% right. and he was supposed to be in and I told him that I would check with Detective Monus and see what it was. >> Okay. >> Okay. Um because he wasn't sure if he was supposed to be here last month.
>> Okay. Okay. So, I said, "Let me check to see if everything is okay and then we'll we'll take make some type of decision." Okay. That being said, I I now because of Miss Sandler's comments, I I want them here. Okay. I
will continue the I'm going to continue the probationary period for another month, but they're going to be here next month. Okay? But I also and I'm gonna ask you to be here next month if you can. Reason being, I want you to further explain your issues. The one question I
had for you aside from them is I looked at some of these pictures and I don't want to get into the weeds because I'll do it next month, but I see I see you got some congregation pictures, people congregating next to that other establishment. Now, is that a
problem, too? >> I'll tell you why they're congregating over there. >> Because the owner of the Paradise restaurant >> Yeah. >> told them to get away from his store. And I have text messages that I can print out and I
>> because he's coming back before us very soon. He's renovating his place. So I want to make sure that >> he doesn't want any problem. Mr. Ronald Renee, I'm very familiar with most of the business owners because like I said, my position with the city is to revitalize the Flint. So my job is to
always be out there engaging knowing who the owners are. If I see a problem, I bring it to their attention. if they see something to be a problem and need me to bring it, escalate it to Glenn or whatever department, that's a part of my job. And so, again, I'm
always familiar with the owners. And there have been times where they're congregating between the liquor store and Ronald Rene's property so badly that I'll take a photo and I'll send it. I'm like, "Ronald Renee," and he will look on his cameras and they won't know he's
inside. and he'll come in outside and he'll tell him, "You can't hang here at my property." He doesn't care what Mr. Patel doesn't say, but for his property, he's not having it. >> Well, he already knows cuz he's coming. I've had conversations with them. >> M Mr. Renee is not having that. Mr.
Patel on the other hand what I didn't say because I didn't want to get into the weeds is I've gone into the business to stop some of the behavior to have conversations and everyone says this I
don't speak English >> the workers say that you >> the workers are telling me I'll say okay here's my business card tell the owner to call me to this very hour to this very minute I've never received a phone call in fact I had a conversation with
my supervisor, Mike Dion, and I said, "Mike, this is really becoming problematic. I saw this residing as a resident on Jenkin Street, but as an employee for the city, and this is what my position is. This is a
bad problem because now I'm really playing more close attention." and my supervisor suggested I write a friendly little invite him in and kind of say to him, "How can we work together to resolve this issue?" Guess what? To this
very day, Mr. Patel has not responded. >> Well, if if you can please come at the next and I apologize for having you sit here. I wish I would have thought myself. I'm getting old. Um because I did have that conversation because I spoke to Heather and and and Detective
Monus and I I thought things were better and >> No, in fact, in my phone right now, if I were to pass my phone around, you'll see where they're starting up and there's this one short one. Oh, he's just blatant. And when he recognizes my
vehicle, he now will go sit at the bank. So, I even took pictures of him sitting at the bank because I'm working now to have a bus stop move. So that the police will not have that. Well, they said they were waiting for the bus because that kind of puts the police in a bad position and then when the police, like
I said, they drive off because they've got a call. Soon as the bus comes, they don't get on. So I figured, let me try to be a bit more proactive and work with the trans the regional transportation company and have that bus
stop moved. I I'll tell you um I was a police officer for over 30 31 years and I and I did quite a bit of my career in the Flint, the good times and the bad times and it's the first time I've had the pleasure of your company. I don't know you. I don't know if you know
me. I don't know you. And you're very eloquent and and I think you're an excellent advocate for the Flint and if you're going to be involved in the revitalization of the Flint, I think it's in good hands. My son is a Fall River police officer and it drives him nuts that I'm out
there. >> Can you I didn't catch your name at the beginning. You said >> Sadler. >> My son is William Sadler. Yes. The big guy. Yes. Yes. >> He grew up in the front. Are you >> I purchased that home in 2014. And the only reason I purchased that home is
because it had a guest house in the back. And my son wanted that guest house. I lived in Quinzy. My son wanted me to purchase property that he could put his photography and DJ equipment and be have a man cave in addition to he
didn't like living in apartments where he had to move because people were smoking marijuana or drinking or playing music and he at the time I think he just had the two little girls now he has four. >> You have an excellent son to an excellent police officer. So he asked me
to can't you buy a property and I purchased that property and I did so much so that I left Quinzy >> and moved to the property. >> That's nice meeting you. The Flynn's in good hands. Heather, I did have one question though about this the the um
the uh um Leonards. Since that meeting we had him here that day, has Mr. Patel made any contact with you at all as far as safety plans? he has or has. >> So, I'm actually glad that you asked because when I was brought to my attention that this was going on the agenda today, I had done some looking
into it to see what has progressed or not progressed as far as the recommendations that were brought in front of uh Mr. Patel and his attorney at the time. And from what I could see from the calls, it does seem as though he has been proactive. From what I read from some of the reports that were being
generated, our officers are still responding there, but at the request of Mr. Patel to deal with issues that are being being had there. However, I will say that I did agree with you in saying that when I looked at it, >> it does show that there has been a progression. However, these calls are
obviously been during the winter days and I know and we all know that as the weather gets warmer, that could potentially change. So, that was something that I had actually proposed as well when it was brought to my attention that it was going to be on the agenda. I mean, things look great and they do look as though they're moving in the right direction. However, it is
still a bit early to tell given that, you know, the problems will persist in the warmer weather. >> We'll wait till it's going to be tabled and we'll bring it up. But, I mean, given the fact that she's so involved and has pictures and so forth and so on, I mean, we're going to have to more than
likely without making a decision, I'm leaning towards obviously extending this and making sure we're on top of it because it just can't h it can't continue to happen because there is money being spent on Pleasant Street and re revitalization is moving forward. So, you know,
>> yes, we just had another business open on Saturday and unfortunately myself nor the mayor could be there because I was doing a Flint Community Garden kickoff along with the rail trail extension completion and so
I could not be at that business to really allow the public to see another business >> on Pleasant Street had opened. Um, motion at the table. >> Motion to table. >> I'll second that motion. All those in favor? All those opposed. Sorry to make you weak.
>> That's okay. I don't have any problems with that. >> Miss Kathy Assad's looking down on you and and and saying good job. Keep it up. >> Oh my gosh. I I wish she were here. I wish her daughter I'm hopeful that her daughter at least saw the pictures. And Lima. >> Yeah. Oh yeah.
>> Cuz I I had an opportunity to meet him. Kathy I didn't meet. >> Yeah. Oh yeah. I've heard amazing stories of how she really was a community advocate. >> Yes, she was. >> All right. So, thank you all for listening. >> No, thank you. And I again, I apologize. >> No problem.
