“We certainly appreciate the heads-up, too, on the items that you just named. Just, I guess, as a personal question, is this – are you – Is this a personal issue in some regard to you? Are you working with an organization? Is this a council issue? I understand the regulations. What's behind those? That might help us frame this conversation as well, too.”

“So just for general information before we dive too deeply in, Could we possibly have someone from planning give us sort of the 10,000-foot view of regulations that we currently have in regards to smoke and vape shops and any information regarding signage and that thing? It might help shape our conversation. I know you're both looking at each other.”

“I think there's been a number of valid points made this evening. I think this— This idea that there is certainly enforcement that can be stepped up in some regard.”

“Some of the other things are fairly easy. I think to the point about free enterprise, I am... hesitant about how we try to enforce that. I get the idea that there are different kinds of categories of businesses and we have debated that long and hard over the last 20 years on sexually oriented businesses, on tattoo parlors, on piercing places, on now vape and smoke shops and gummies and all that kind of stuff. I think one of the things that we do have to understand is that Wade Hampton, you probably have as much of Wade Hampton in your district as anybody does, probably more. And that seems to…”

“Well, enforcement is a directive in some regards from this group, but there's also a tradeoff as well, too. You know, do we want to... Take police off the streets to, you know, enforce, you know, looking for people that are buying underage or that sort of thing. You heard... today that, you know, there are some issues that we can address with, you know, with additional people. So that becomes a budgeting question in some regard as we move forward.”

We've got people that, you know, um, we've got unlicensed food trucks. We've got, you know, this is, this is a growing town with a lot of opportunities. And so, um, You know, we just got to figure out how we're going to address that with the resources that we have at this point. I know we get a monthly report of activity. How about y'all make a note to get back with us, let's say, 60 days from now and – Give us a little update on where we…”

“I think that from a law enforcement standpoint and from a code standpoint, just a visit to say we've had this conversation would go a long way. Okay. Any other thoughts or comments before I close the workshop? That concludes our workshop for this evening. We'll gather here in about another 10 or 15 minutes for our regular meeting.”

“We've got a lively little crowd tonight. In public forum this evening, we have two people that would like to appear. We set aside a time at the first of the meeting for public forum. Public forum is to address an item that is on our schedule. And this item is to be discussed later on in our meeting. So what I will do is, there's just two of you, and I would like to ask that you make appropriate use of your time. It's suggested to be around three minutes, and we'll try our best to to stay in that time frame if we can. If you are one of the presenters this evening, as I call your name, if you…”
