Good day. My name is Antony Vigliotti. I am starting the Worcester License Commission Yoga. Before starting the yoga, I would like to inform you that this is a hybrid yoga. That is, it is directly and online. The online link is in the Worcester License Commission agenda. If you are online, press star 6 and star 6 to mute your computer. To unmute, press star 6 again. This is a public service, so it is being recorded. The minutes are being recorded later. Help in this process. All participants must speak clearly through the microphone. For those who are directly present, you have a microphone on the back. When we call your agenda request, we ask that you please come to the podium. Press the green button, then the green light will appear. Continue to say your name, residence, and explain the request we have in front of us. There are many things that we continue to change in the agenda. I read them when I check them one by one. They will inform you that the best way is to call the Inspectional Services Office. Before we continue, I would like to introduce you to the employees here today. On my left is Commissioner Chiron Fisher. On my right is Commissioner Marissa Cruz. From the Inspectional Services Office, Deborah Steele. On behalf of the CET Law Department, Attorney Amanda Moran. From Worcester Police Department, Sergeant Thomas Inham. From Worcester Fire Department, Chief Armstrong. When you call Harji, you must inform him. There will be questions from the board commission and others here. Anyone here can ask questions or give their opinions online. When they complete, the commission will make a decision. If you have requested for a regular license, after hearing today's statement, if approved, it will be uploaded to the Alcohol Beverage Control Commission. This is a process that usually takes 4 to 6 weeks. If approved, the Inspection Service Office and the License Commission will be notified. You will also be notified, but it is your responsibility to ensure that you have all the permits starting with code, fire, and construction. I am starting the Worcester License Commission Agreement with this on August 6, 2026. Second.

3:05•Speaker 4

Adhe. Chair Lee.

3:06 – 3:17•Speaker 2

Adhe. The first in the agenda is our one-day event. The first is HHDYO Casita Cultura Latina at the Institute Park. Good day. Good day.

3:46 – 4:20•Speaker 4

My name is Anagarina Vyar. I live in Lawrence, Massachusetts. I work as a dance planner for Cassidy. We are going to run this festival. This is our fifth time. This year we are moving the place to Institute Park. How many people will participate in this event? We calculate that there will be 1000 to 2000 people a day. Usually people come and go in different groups. That's why people spend an hour or two there and spend a lot of time on important tasks. What have you done for the safety of the shelter?

4:20•Speaker 2

Yes, we use the police force for safety. We use the shelters in the park.

4:25•Speaker 4

Where do you get the money from? Our money comes from Ruby Wines and Berkshire Brewing Company.

4:42•Speaker 3

We will also have tequila and tequila-added beers. Okay.

4:47•Speaker 2

Thank you, Commissioner Fisher.

4:49•Speaker 4

I don't have any questions. But I feel that... Chair, I investigated that both the vendors she mentioned were in wholesale. Oh, okay. Good. That was my wish.

4:59•Speaker 2

I don't have any questions. Commissioner Cruz.

5:02•Speaker 4

I don't have any questions.

5:03•Speaker 2

Sergeant Needle, I may have made a mistake. Please forgive me. What do they have in common as security? You said you would use the police force. Is that what you are doing?

5:11•Speaker 4

Yes, just like we do every year, we will organize a police force to investigate the police force.

5:19•Speaker 2

Have you ever investigated a self-defense office in the middle of the road? That?

5:23 – 5:38•Speaker 4

No, we will not investigate a self-defense office for that. We will set up a fence in this area, there will be an entrance gate and a way out. There will be a person there who will investigate the people who live there, and there will be a person among our people who will investigate the details.

5:38•Speaker 2

Yes, we use wristbands. Yes, we use wristbands. Portable toilets Do you have toilet facilities?

6:07•Speaker 4

We are going to use the toilets in the park.

6:09•Speaker 2

There are no other portable toilets. How many people are expected to come?

6:13•Speaker 4

There are no other portable toilets. We expect people between 1,000 and 2,000. But as I said earlier, people come for an hour or two and then leave. Okay. Excuse me. Are you saying that about 1,000 people are expected?

6:23•Speaker 1

Yes. Aren't you expecting the toilets of the town hall there?

6:36 – 6:49•Speaker 4

Yes. When we conducted this at the CET Hall, the toilet facilities there were limited. So, it was inappropriate for us. We haven't had any problems for the past three years. Mister, that's a disappointment.

6:52•Speaker 3

I'm not sure how many toilets each link has. That is, are there toilets that can be used for special facilities and volunteers?

7:07•Speaker 1

Is that so?

7:08•Speaker 2

Yes. Okay. I don't know exactly what facilities are available in Institute Park, but if the number of people is high, it would be good to think about it in advance.

7:21•Speaker 4

If necessary, we can arrange toilets in connection with United Services. Okay.

7:24•Speaker 1

That is, you will have more portable toilets outside the facilities in the park. Yes. Yes, only if necessary. Okay.

7:38•Speaker 4

Next week, we will visit the place to make sure that the necessary things are there. Okay.

7:42 – 7:54•Speaker 1

Are there any questions or comments from the people here or online? I don't think anyone would agree. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

7:54•Speaker 4

No problem. Commissioner Cruz. Yes, Commissioner Fischer. Yes, Giglotti.

7:58•Speaker 1

Yes, thank you. I hope everything goes well. Thank you.

We have invited you to participate in Hot Dog Safari this year. That is, what is Hot Dog Safari, Mr. H, and how are we participating in this? I am not 100% sure. But I think it's a very common practice. This is not a Nathans hot dog restaurant. It's a hot dog restaurant where people walk around the whole day. So, instead of everyone sitting in the car, I thought of setting up a tent. Then, that's not a problem. Just do it boldly. Sign in to Roki. And we expect... Last year, more than 800 people participated. So, we expect it this time too. So, I decided to put a speaker in the back of the car to get some space. CERTIFIED SERVICE. All tips.

21:12•Speaker 3

No questions.

21:13•Speaker 2

Commissioner Cruz.

21:15 – 21:30•Speaker 3

I have an opinion. I would like to say that this is a very good initiative that is carried out in a very good way and that many young people in the city participate in it. They do this in Crumbedon Park and other places. So I wanted to make it clear. Sergeant Naita.

21:30•Speaker 2

There are no problems. Does anyone online have any questions or opinions? I think there is nothing. I express my gratitude for your acceptance.

21:39•Speaker 4

21:43•Speaker 2

Yes, thank you. May this work be successful. Thank you. Is this the third thing in the agenda? You said four. The fourth thing in the agenda.

21:51•Speaker 4

I thought there was something else in the third case.

21:53•Speaker 2

Yes, the third case has also been suspended temporarily. No one has responded to that, right? Yes, forgive me.

21:57•Speaker 3

But I think the fourth case has been suspended temporarily. That's online. Okay.

22:00 – 22:32•Speaker 2

The fourth case in the agenda is a request for a day's license on the 280th main street of Christopher Bissau. From 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on August 22, 2021. Mr. Bissau, are you online? Is there anyone online related to this request? I'm trying. You need to change the computer's mute. Yes, he's coming.

22:32•Speaker 1

Can you hear me? I can hear you now. Okay, sorry about that. There was a small noise this morning.

22:38•Speaker 2

Tell me who you are and where you live about this.

22:41 – 23:09•Speaker 1

Okay, Christopher Bissau. I live in Massilla, Sturbridge. We are hosting the Breakaway Music Festival on August 22nd, 2021. We are exhibiting the festival in the area next to the city. We have requested for a location that is close to the city. We are now exhibiting it in the Crocs property next to the city. This is what we did last year.

23:09•Speaker 2

Is this the hidden parking space opposite the bridge? Yes, that's right. Is there anything more to say about this?

23:18 – 23:38•Speaker 1

No, it will be the same as last year. It will continue this way. We use our own security office. We also have a lot of police offices. EMTs and fire safety officers will also be there. So everything will go as usual. We used to tie our place to the wall as usual. But now the entire block is tied to the wall. So it will be the same as last year.

23:45•Speaker 2

Okay. Thank you, Commissioner Fisher.

23:47•Speaker 4

No questions.

23:48 – 24:30•Speaker 2

Commissioner Cruz. No questions. Sergeant Naita. I remember the big thing they did last year. When I looked at the size and weight of the people who participated, it was very noticeable. It was very clear what they could do. So there were no problems. There were no problems at all. There were a lot of police officers, the Agnishamana army, the police, the EMD, the EMDs were there, the EMDs were in the command post. That's it. Yes, it was really amazing to see how big this event was. Yes, Cheep, I haven't called you. Do you have anything to say about this? No, I have been a part of this for the past two years. We are here.

24:31•Speaker 1

All the problems that we see here will be resolved immediately. And we are fully in contact with the event.

24:43 – 25:10•Speaker 2

That's why everything is done quickly and properly. Ambulances can come in and out. If you have to open the main street, there are backup plans for that. And if necessary, there is a way to get through. So what are we thinking? They will take care of it. Okay, thank you. Are there any questions or opinions from the people here online or online? There's no one here. I'd like to express my gratitude.

25:10•Speaker 4

Thank you. Commissioner Cruz. Yes. Commissioner Fischer. Yes.

25:14•Speaker 2

Chairlotti. Yes. Thank you. Enjoy.

25:16 – 25:32•Speaker 1

Thank you very much. Bye-bye. We still have three people in the hold. No one is online. Okay, let's move on to the rest of the agenda. The next agenda is related to vehicles. On the 10th, it was the vegan path on 56 Water Street. The operation time is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday morning. I was nervous about the manual.

25:37•Speaker 4

My name is...

25:41 – 26:03•Speaker 2

I thought you would order food for us while we were doing this. Menu, they wanted us to order before we started all this. Can I have a vegan cup, please? Okay, what about me? I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. Let me be honest. I haven't given my opinion yet. Please let me complete it. Don't stand there. Stand there. You are fine. Okay, you made us wait. We thought we should order from the menu. That's why we were wrong.

26:08 – 26:22•Speaker 1

Okay. This is the vegan part of 56 Water Street. The operating time is from 10 am to 3 pm. Monday is from 11 pm to 30 minutes. Wednesday is from 3 pm to 30 minutes. Thursday and Wednesday are off. Thursday is from 11 pm to 30 minutes. Wednesday is from 3 pm to 30 minutes. Friday is from 10 am to 3 pm and 6 pm to 9 pm. Saturday is from 10 am to 3 pm and 6 pm to 9 pm. Now you talk.

26:36•Speaker 4

The reason why I am participating in such a meeting is because I am very scared. You are doing well. Don't worry about that. I am working. I came from Houston, Texas.

26:43•Speaker 3

What is your name?

26:44•Speaker 4

Where do you live? Yes, my name is Thavottiyu. I live on 99th Grand Street.

26:47•Speaker 2

Apartmental. Okay, yes. So, the restaurant is on 56th Water Street.

26:49 – 27:05•Speaker 4

It will be called Vegan Pasa. Yes.

27:05•Speaker 2

Is this the old Queen's Cup?

27:06 – 29:04•Speaker 4

Yes, yes, that's right. That's the place. That's why I, you know, I run a restaurant in Hunni. It's actually a vegan restaurant. It's called Field of Greens. I saw this menu, but it's a small menu. I've only been here for a few months, so I have a little understanding. I know everything. That's okay. Oh, we are happy to have you here. Okay. So why did I open it? That's the reason. I want people to understand what is the food that people like. So I don't want to force people too much. So I... Let's try to find out what people like. That's why I want to promote healthy and healthy food. But now, in many restaurants, especially Asian restaurants, I think this is a bad vegan food. Excessive oil, excessive fried food, excessive sweetness, excessive salt. There is no sweetness in my kitchen, only fried food. Okay. That's why the other one is not that good. That's why there is a time limit behind the menu. I want to close it for two days. Because I need 40 hours of work. All my employees need me. There is no need to change the shift to 40 hours. How many hours do you work? It's 36 hours now. This is what people mean. Okay. In the beginning, if the marketing is good, if everything is fine, I can reduce it a little. But now let it continue like this.

29:04 – 29:33•Speaker 2

Okay, we have given you publicity worth $1000. Everything is ready. Do you have anything to say to the woman next to you? No, everything is ready. I got scared. You didn't give me anything. Don't be afraid. Be calm. Fisher Commissioner. No questions at all. Cruise Commissioner. No questions at all. Everyone is a sergeant. No problems at all. Okay. Does anyone online have any questions or opinions? No one is saying anything. A love for recognition.

29:33•Speaker 4

I agree. Cruise Commissioner. Yes. Fisher Commissioner. Yes.

29:36•Speaker 2

Jigglypuff. Yes. Thank you. Welcome to Worcester. Best wishes for your business.

Before we begin, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Sgt. Nemin, Debbie and the officers who are not present here.

35:04 – 35:44•Speaker 2

Raise that microphone a little. Speak up. I raised it a little today. The audience is listening. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Sgt. Nemin, Debbie and the officers who are not present here. That is why we moved from last month to this month. Thank you. Thank them. In front of you, we have two managers, Dayanari and Jelan. They are the managers of the business that intends to buy My Lounge. We have come here with a license request. These two tips are certified. If you have any questions, you can ask. Okay. Mr. Fisher. No questions. Mr. Cruz. No questions. Sergita. Council, thanks for the good words.

35:54 – 36:48•Speaker 1

If what he said was true, then this was a big operation. The day before, we saw the license holders. It was a very positive response. We gave them good advice. The process was a bit complicated, but we made it here. I am happy to see that the application is moving forward. There are no problems with the new managers of the place, right? No, no. You said that we saw Jalen the other day. We had some concerns. We talked to them. They responded very well. Everything was fine with the last application we received. If we get a local approval, there will be no problems with going to ABCC. Okay, thank you. Anyone here, anyone online, do you have any comments or questions?

36:49•Speaker 4

Chairman, can you tell us the internal schedule? Is there a party or area outside?

36:56•Speaker 2

There is no party outside, right? Yes, there is. Yes, the internal schedule. We are looking at 5 to 2. In the evening, from 5 to 2 in the morning. 2 in the morning.

37:06•Speaker 4

When is the external schedule?

37:08•Speaker 2

It is the same. The same schedule. Okay.

37:17•Speaker 2

Forgive me. Let me ask you something. Forgive me.

37:18•Speaker 4

Does this happen every day? Is it from Monday to Sunday? Is it from Monday to Sunday?

37:23 – 37:39•Speaker 2

We don't open on Wednesdays. Okay. Then we close on Wednesdays. Right? Are you operating on the same time as you did the other days? That's right, isn't it? That's right. Okay. Okay, Commissioner.

37:40•Speaker 1

Thank you. Thank you. From 5 to 2 in the evening, the red light will be on inside and outside. Is it possible? That is, are there more places to stay there?

37:46•Speaker 4

That is... No. I don't know about that. Yes. Yes, there used to be a My Lounge.

37:55•Speaker 3

There's a dealership up ahead.

38:02•Speaker 2

Then it will come. Yes, we know that. Okay, okay.

38:04•Speaker 4

No, the reason was enough for me until 2 o'clock in the morning. That is, if it is outside, it will not be a problem for others. You are in a dilemma, right?

38:13•Speaker 2

What is the matter? There is no entertainment license, right?

38:17•Speaker 4

It is the way to do it. They have not requested it so far.

38:20•Speaker 2

You know that you do not have the entertainment license to start TV and radio.

38:25•Speaker 1

You will need a special entertainment license inside and outside.

38:29•Speaker 2

Yes, we will do that.

38:31•Speaker 1

Okay, you understand that, right? Yes. Okay, do you have any other questions or opinions? If not, the permission to accept is required.

38:39•Speaker 4

Commissioner Cruz. Yes. Commissioner Fisher. Yes. Gigliotti.

38:43•Speaker 2

Yes. Thank you. Best wishes for the new business. Thank you.

38:46•Speaker 4

Best wishes.

38:47 – 39:04•Speaker 1

Let's go back to the third thing in the agenda. We had stopped it. Our Lady of Mercy Maronite Catholic Church, 341 June Street. Is there anyone in line with this request? Chairman, I want to change it.

39:04•Speaker 2

Not until September. So, let's change it. The plan to change it to the next session of the License Commission.

39:10•Speaker 4

Yes, Commissioner Kruse. Yes, Commissioner Fischer. Yes, Chair Viati.

39:15 – 39:28•Speaker 1

Yes, I thought it was the last stop. Yes, yes. Right, right. The next step in the agenda is to submit the documents signed by Italian-American veterans. The plan to continue this until the next session of the License Commission.

39:32•Speaker 4

Commissioner Cruz. Yes. Commissioner Fisher. Yes.

39:35 – 40:12•Speaker 2

Chair Viator. Yes. 17. Mr. Pillow, Victory Bar and Cigar. Mr. Priscilla, may I come to this place? That's not punishment. I just want to keep you close. That's all. Thank you for that. Okay. Tell me where you live. My name is Mark Basillo. I live in Charlton, Mass. Victory Bar and Cigar. We are the owners of the 7 units that run our business. So we have great confidence in Worcester. Thank you. Sergeant Needham, do you have any report?

40:12 – 42:18•Speaker 1

Let me remind the Commission why this business was called a status hearing. On Thursday, July 22, at a licensed facility in the town of Baranulli, two people were shot. I arrived at that business facility in the evening. That night, I saw two of your survivors. In the investigation that was carried out, I found that both the survivors had the correct ATIP, TIP, and certification. Yes, they have passed the rules and regulations of this commission by informing the police department. The first information was received by the bartender. In my opinion, with the help of the detectives who investigate the incident, it was very helpful to help the police in the investigation of the victims of this business establishment. Yes, The most surprising thing is that the CCTV footage in the building is not available. When I spoke to the detectives about this incident, if the video footage of the incident was available at night, it would be of great help to the investigation. Yes. In 2020, I spoke as a detective about an old incident. I think it was 2024. Another incident took place in 2024. It was not inside the building, but the objects came down from there.

42:27 – 44:06•Speaker 2

The fact that no video evidence was found in that incident was the cause of the investigation. That's why... The explosion happened on the same day. I said it was a one-off incident. According to our office records, according to our office records, there is no legal basis for this establishment. Debbie thinks it can be justified. But, as I said, the most shocking thing is that even after these two horrible things happened in today's time, video evidence is not available. Okay. I think it is necessary to establish a constitution in order to help the people and their families in this situation. I have ordered the AXIS AXS AI camera system so far. The RapidTech of Worcester will install this. They say that these cameras are used in schools and buildings in the city. This will be received directly on the phone. You can check this whenever you want. My old system was a bit old. I remember it was a DVR DVR. It was not working. I called them. They were waiting to come. Unfortunately, the incident happened just before I bought this new system.

44:16•Speaker 4

There are no questions. I think it would have been better if we got an agreement on when you were planning to complete this.

44:22 – 44:47•Speaker 2

He told me that it would be in about 7 days. So, yes, that's fair. But I got a quat. I got a quat today. I would like to have that information with you as I said. But it's a must. Commissioner Cruz. There are no questions. Okay. I have an order in advance. You must have a security camera with you. Within 30 days, you must be ready for action. We will do it. You must complete it. I have an order like that. Yes. Yes. Yes. Thank you. That's all. Okay. Thank you. Be safe.

45:01•Speaker 1

The next stop on the agenda is Creed Lounge, 41 Pleasant Street. You are permitted to leave the building and open until 2 o'clock. Come this way. Come forward. We are close.

45:09 – 45:50•Speaker 2

We are very close to Pauline. Yes. Are you all okay? Ma'am. Good day. How are you? We are making rules, but we don't bite. That is, only when you are hungry. There is a menu to order now. I am... Umm... Mr. Paulina. How are you? Please introduce yourself, Devaayi. First, Calvin Paulino from Massachusetts.

45:51•Speaker 1

Catherine Cruz from Worcester. Right.

45:56 – 46:44•Speaker 2

You have promised to open until 2 o'clock in the morning, right? Yes. Why should this commission allow it? Okay, we have tried this three times. But we are a nightclub. Most of our guests come at 12 o'clock. If we open only till 1 o'clock, they won't come in. That's why our business has decreased by 98%. We are open for two days a week now, because it's not a big deal. Are you alone now, Udama? I am alone, Udama. Yes, I used to have a partner. Not now. No. Yes. Right.

46:44 – 47:03•Speaker 1

I have my security manager. He is a new security. We have changed our security system. We are trying our best to do things the right way. Mr. Fisher. I'm asking you the right way.

47:05•Speaker 1

Catherine. She is their manager. Manager. Okay. So, do you spend more time there? That is... Yes. Okay.

47:10•Speaker 2

I spend more time there now. You haven't come in front of us for a while.

47:14 – 47:27•Speaker 4

So, let me just say that we appreciate that. Yes. I don't have a problem for two hours. That is, from the beginning of January. Yes, that's what we agreed on.

47:27•Speaker 1

That was about eight months ago. You are behaving well. So... Yes.

47:33•Speaker 3

Keep up the good work.

47:34•Speaker 2

Commissioner Cruz.

47:37•Speaker 3

You were a manager before Katherin. Katherin, how long have you been a manager? One year.

47:41•Speaker 1

One year. Okay.

47:42•Speaker 3

Now you know what to do to avoid any more problems, right?

47:50 – 50:30•Speaker 2

Yes, everything is clear to us now. This is a big deal. Senator. Ms. Cruz is the executive manager of this business. Yes. As I said before, only the commissions that have been submitted have been beneficial. Mr. Polinoy is interested in running a business, but the business has declined. He says that the time limit has been reduced. However, people have stopped coming to Maruvesh. I am happy to report that none of that has happened. His security officer is making people go out and making them hide. So, if the commission is willing to close at 2 o'clock, it is possible to increase the time from 1 o'clock in the night to 30 minutes or 2 o'clock. It all depends on their authority. Ms. Cruz is the executive manager. However, in the previous hearing rules, Mr. Polino said that he was on a manager's duty, but he was not on the business side. Everything ends with you, Kelvin. Mr. Polino must be present at the business location, especially when the shop is closed. In fact, it is up to you. You are the mastermind. Make sure that the shop is closed at 2 o'clock and that people are hiding. Make sure that your staff is monitoring the middle. Make sure that the security personnel are cleaning up the people who cause trouble. Make sure that people are not walking on the sidewalk. Double Quote Double Quote So let's move forward.

50:31 – 51:04•Speaker 1

Let me tell you, it can now be implemented through our new security mechanisms. Now we are handling things very smoothly. And we are also inspecting everyone's IDs. We are all inspecting through a system. What we are doing now is to ensure that no one is affected. All my employees have been tested positive. All the LDCs have been tested positive. All of them have been tested by the Mass Fire Arms and the CPIU. Before they realize that they have been killed, we try to handle the situation. Yes, so I assure you that the Worcester Police will not have any more problems.

51:05 – 51:26•Speaker 2

From now on, we will try to handle it safely. Okay. Let me give you a hint for the record. I have received a letter from Michael Sherwood about the Creed launch. He has made some comments and suggestions to the License Commission on it. So I suggest you add that letter to the record.

51:26•Speaker 4

Second, Commissioner Cruz. Yes, Commissioner Ferg. Yes, yes.

51:36 – 52:53•Speaker 2

That said, the track record has been high for the past few months. Nevertheless, we still have great expectations from the public. We have added it to the record now. My expectation is that it is going well at one o'clock in the night. But again, I understand how it will affect the business. So, after listening to the opinions of the commissioners and the police, my suggestion to the commissioners is that we should wait for 2 to 3 months, and then come back after 3 months. If there is no problem while working for 2 hours, we can think about waiting for it to end. So, I think it's fair. Forgive me. I think it's fair. That's my suggestion. Second, forgive me. As I have indicated, Mr. Polino is in charge of the commission. In business, Mr. Polino is another part of the instruction. We require you to be there at the closing time of that meeting. We can ensure that the closing is safe and proper. Okay. I understand. Okay. Good.

52:53•Speaker 4

That's it. Commissioner Kruse. Yes. Commissioner Fisher. Yes. Yes.

52:57•Speaker 2

You have two hours. You should be there. Be safe.

53:00•Speaker 1

Make use of it. Try to come back with a good record. Go. Go. Go. Okay. I understand. Okay. Good luck. Good luck. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Welcome.

53:05•Speaker 2

Thank you, sir. Okay. Is there anything I haven't read?

53:23•Speaker 1

Is there anything new? I have something to tell you. Please forgive me.

53:30•Speaker 3

There is a communication on the last page. I can't do it.

53:35•Speaker 1

There is a request about the fund. Do we have to do anything about it? I don't want to talk to the chairperson.

53:40•Speaker 4

One of the corporate employees has left. I spoke to the attorney court this morning. He brought a complaint. He will present it in the next meeting. Okay.

53:50•Speaker 2

I would like to congratulate you on the fact that you have completed the 3-hour closing session a week ago. How do we know how many people have requested to stay open until 3 o'clock?

54:04•Speaker 3

Tell the chairperson that I think it's 33. Is that true? I and the police had informed them a few days ago.

54:09•Speaker 1

They knew everything had to be closed. I think everyone took care of it. Yes, right. I don't know if many of them used it. There is a reason for me to agree to this. The legislature and the governor are considering a time limit of 3 hours to close the institution.

54:18 – 54:47•Speaker 2

Certainly, we have great expectations. Therefore, I would like to hold a meeting with the 33 people who requested a 3-hour license and hear their opinions. 1. Have they been open for 3 hours? 2. Was it useful? Do they need a 3-hour license? Therefore, I...

54:56•Speaker 4

Instead of holding a meeting, I think we should send a survey to everyone. Okay. If they want to come to the meeting, they can only come. Then? That's right.

55:03•Speaker 3

We can send a survey and ask for an opinion at 3 o'clock.

55:05 – 55:25•Speaker 2

I think we should take a step forward before doing anything without asking for the opinion of the legislature, the governor or the commission. We need to get the opinion of the commission. Okay. Do I need a recommendation for that? Okay, is there anything else you need? I'm ready to call the police.

55:25•Speaker 4

I'm calling Commissioner Kruse. Over. Commissioner Fischer. Over.

55:29•Speaker 2

Jeffy, who is it? Sir, are you in the newspaper?

55:35•Speaker 1

No. No, that's one of our inspectors. Oh. Okay. Stopped recording.
