SE club and the West vle club for um reinspection and um permit how we doing on the on the extensions for the um so the vle club um had a couple minor violations um I understand they're working on them they had to get a KNX box for their building uh they purchased a box it wasn't the proper box they were going to order that um and has the hood been cleaned the what the kitchen Hood yes okay the kitchen that been done that the kitchen Hood was done it was the what do you call the powder on there the suppression yeah okay and that's done okay so what just basically in the Caron oxides all set in the basement yeah so we're just waiting for that lock box and then we can and your lock box was over y okay it takes about 7even days to get it yeah okay and that's it okay I will get notification once once it ships okay so is there any would is there any safety factors that are an issue if we give an extension I just don't want there be any safety issues if we stay open okay I I'm fine with the extension I any you want oh no I'm fine with it um does it need a motion uh no a no it doesn't need a motion so we'll keep the extension open and then until everything gets approved yeah as soon as I get the bo I call Y just call and um we'll come down it's going to come unlocked we'll have to lock it for you yeah I heard you guys okay placement of the Box does he already know where it's supposed to go near the door yeah near the front door somewhere near the do you want to wait do you want to wait until or if you want we can come down and you know show exactly sure okay as soon as we got it I'll sure sounds good all right that'd be great thank you very much thank you good night you all right and new business next and Megan is before that um we just had the deep sea Club okay um they have completed all their inspections however they're waiting on a permit is that correct um so my understanding is last Friday wasn't it last Friday um building and electrical will conduct an inspection down there um for the work that was done they needed to add heat detectors and the rear porches um to meet the code um they were installed without a building permit um so that I spoke to the contractor this yesterday morning he has not applied for the permit yet being that he hasn't applied um fire department cannot sign off and approve it without without first reviewing it and and approving the permit so um he told me he was going to try to get in yesterday but I don't believe he did okay so we're kind of just waiting on on the contractor now okay so waiting on the contractor permit process and then are they the deep sea Club is that like a seasonal club or they open okay again I'll ask the question secret it's a secret Club um is it it's a safety issue or is it I I can't my understanding the devices are in we have not tested them so right you know it could be a safety or building department said they did test they inspected them now they did not test them so the the um issue the concern that came up was that this is for the apartment part of the building okay not necessarily the bar so if they were if they were two separate permits then the bar would have been fine and passed it would just be the apartment buildings that are awaiting these re inspections but she does not want to split them she wants to have one inspection for the whole building so it has because it's attached to the yeah so the entrance to the the bar is also the entrance to the apartments in the same stale well so that could be a the is because you have people there's people living there this building is fully occupied as far as I is there a reason why they contracted has my he my understanding is he pulled electrical permit was unaware he told me he needed to pull a building permit my understanding is the electrical inspector made him aware of that um he sounds like talking with him yesterday he was unsure of the process is kind of impression I got um he told me he has not had time to get out and do the permit he also with the permit had to supply a drawing of the devices where they located it and he said he hasn't done that yet I believe it's just his time that come out as kind of what's holding it up for the permit process and the concern is that there's apartments attached to it yeah I mean you guys aren sounding off on it but you're not preventing anyone from living there either correct correct so do we leave it business as usual until the building inspector approves it I mean it's you think he's going to I can't assume anything but the remaining part of the building you know the full interior is fully protected with fire alarm it's just the the rear stairs stair yeah which is at one point open V which they enclosed and never properly protected what what do you think my suggestion maybe third the extension till the next meeting if it's not rectified by then then we then we uh then we don't allow another extension agree I agree with that okay I'm fine with that is that okay y I'd be fine with that okay because that'll give them till [Music] February hopefully it'll be done by then the 11th I think it would be uh February 11th so February 11 okay so either myself or Tom I'll reach out to that contractor again and just let yeah just just yeah and if they need something from us then we can just send it so you know it's not going to get extended beyond that right it's then we're running into our concerns as a safety issue right okay we do that so I approve that okay the extension there that and is that the final any other new business or is so Megan will be resigning from her position she's not leaving the city but she is uh resigning from her position as a License Commission Clerk and we will have a new clerk assigned but another Megan name okay when does she start she uh she's coming tomorrow to do her intake work so perfect we hoping next week if not or the week after but we'll slowly get her in here well you've been
