“long story short essentially that there just wasn't a whole lot of empirical data to support taking action we actually heard from a high volume of and i'm talking citywide yes there are documented individual instances no question about that no one's arguing that but 2022 the thought was you know citywide there's some isolated instances let's try to attack it through enforcement But that's where we landed in 2022.

“So can I add to that comment on three? Yeah, I would just add one thing.

“Well, I guess my point is they're already allowed today. Correct. So we have registration and they pay taxes. Then to Councilman Armstrong's point, which I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, but you were like, hey, why do we need all this on our agenda in summary? And I'm like, well, so that way we could have some accountability. I'm just wondering if that's, I don't know, what do you guys think?”

“Councilman Will or Mayor Pro Tems kind of points about what can we do legally? I guess it was a two-parter. Number one, can we require current operators to go through an SUP process?”

“is Councilman Rankley literally said, I'm for three so long as we bring it back for a work session. Right, Councilman? No, you didn't say that. You just want it back for a work session. So I will look at three, I'll write it up, and then bring it back for a work session. Sounds like that's the consensus of council, because I think that'll allow us to do a little bit deeper dive and look at some of the accountability, some of the meat and potatoes, the regulations or the requirements. And then I actually think the requirements feedback rather than re-going through the same presentation, if…”

So I think one day a week is probably fine, so they can schedule out their games that way. Okay. There should be enough time in – if they have 14 games to do that, we can be more flexible on the games. I don't think anyone – is anyone opposed to having games on soccer pad B? No. soccer.”
