“Are they looking at the number 12? Is that set for now? I mean, there still seems to be a murkiness for me between the instructional studios for dance, karate, and so forth, and the health and fitness establishments. I don't want to throw a new, it's too late for metaphors. But is that one being reviewed? I'm just, are we gonna get any additional information on that distinction? If not, we can address it at a later point, but.”

“Just this notion between a dance studio, you know, dance and karate, you know, we took out aerobics and health and fitness, but then there's health and fitness establishments. I mean, it still seems to me It's hard for me to tell where the line is between those things.”

“I mean, it may be something we wouldn't allow, I don't need to throw that in right now, but I think it's something to think about, or maybe just defining it a little more clearly, but.”

“I mean, if these are sort of boutique-y type studios, the number 12, I think that's fine, and 13, I know what we're talking about, but maybe it's definitional for now.”

“Yeah, and making sure that existing arrangements are protected. And I think, Councilman, I think you were about to explain them, so you'll do a better job.”

“Yep. My recommendation would be to include the language in what's in this language that Fernandez proposes in what were in the document, and then write it for first reading. And then if there needs to be a clarification for second. But I think putting it in there, I think there's a presumption that it's appropriate. So I would put it in there.”

“I guess my thought is it seems like it's a common thing in other places. Look, I understand the point about you don't like the skeleton. No, and listen, it's a fair point. You're making it. But to me, I'm not sure why we're eliminating it entirely if it's being enforced with discretion and we're not forcing people And they're working with people. In other words, I'm a little concerned that we're just taking it out entirely when it's not a problem. I don't know that it's a problem. It's also a little hard to make the decision right now, candidly.”

“So is there something we could do that would work? Because your point's good. I mean, but maybe is there something we can do because it's first reading now. Is there something we can put in there that allows an option if it's so pervasive or so something, whatever the word may be, so that there's at least the ability if it's a true problem. But your point's a good one. So that it's not a ticky tack foul, but is there some way to, is there something we can do?”

“So can we, is it possible to, rather than try to craft language on the fly, to prove what we have now and then at second reading we address it? With the instruction that's somewhere around the second.”

“Just a quick thing on peacocks and iguanas. What I was going to ask the manager, and literally it's one question. I would like to, maybe for the next meeting, but certainly by budget time, I've had a number of conversations ongoing about the iguana issue and the peacock issue, and it seems like a big issue. A big problem is the bottlenecking is the trapping. And one thing that has been suggested that we should look into is the possibility of some sort of uh either staff increase or contract you know really to up the trapping personnel for both animals to the extent possible so i would just…”

“So one thing, I do think, if I recall correctly from my own situation, you can, if there's a case, you can do it under the statute. It will leave a little bit early if somebody has plans. Because I did it early. And then, of course, right when they changed that form to 6, right after I filed my stupid form. But anyway, that's a different point. I don't think we should change it. I think we should keep it as June. I'm concerned about the confusion of having one seat in June and the other seats in August. You know what I mean. One seat in August and the other seats in June. I think it is plenty…”

“Am I? I mean, the charter envisions even having a special election within 60 days under certain circumstances. So I just feel like it's enough time for people to do it. And it is a two-year. I mean, and by the way, the term will be up again in two years. So this is a special election. That's what we just called it.”
