8:05 pm
please deny the appeal. >> allow us to continue operating thank you. >> thank you (clapping) and any other public comment sir, i wish to speak please step forward. >> hello the name is robert ricci wanted to kind of get back to kind of one main point i believe mr. shep wouldn't be here if within the department of public health willfully gave up the permit that is obviously not something it seems like it was unilateral taken from him a point of a board obviously he was not sitting here willfully the permit was taken away.
8:06 pm
>> any public comment on this item? commissioners it is up to you. >> may i speak please. sorry public comment is closed you had your opportunity. >> perhaps what we could do is look at some the things that have been provided if you couldn't hear entirely the audio transcript and part of the purpose of asking for that at the last hearing to see what the process was related to that
8:07 pm
hearing at dpw and he could get enough of that out of that understood it was quite boring i listened to the audio but i guess i'll get to the crux of it i'm in agreement that the primary issue for the appellant and the permit holder has to do with ownership i don't think that's what i'm prepared to act upon. >> i will i'll get closer to the microphone what i said was that that p the issue here relate to this appeal of this permit this provisional permit is primarily related to
8:08 pm
the dispute over ownership and i'm not prepared to comment or to make a position on that issue question of whether the permit has been issued appropriately through the department in terms of whether it was the personnel checks or the notice all those kinds of things i think they did therefore i have no basis other than to support of the basis of the permit. >> if this is just a question if the issue of ownership is in question does it render the departments decision
8:09 pm
questionable in terms is it such to just have two corporate representatives be the owner or do you need the third person. >> as and understand the permit was issued to the corporations. >> right. >> all right. >> now, it's in dispute who the owners are of the corporation and that's something perhaps it would be best for them to continue their civil litigation. >> i agree asian-american it's not our position to determine the ownership as whether the permit was issued correctly. >> it's not position to determine the ownership what is in front of us is the permit is issued correctly.
8:10 pm
>> that's what i'm trying to figure out if i'm trying to figure out that issue i'm not saying we should determine ownership but if person is in question are reable to even do what you suggest. >> i think there are - yes probably aspects of that if one point to think about the d o g review and the checks if it's shown up negative perhaps there's elements of that that can play into whether the permit is valid maybe my question is more for robert. >> okay. let me stand back. >> well, i sorry go ahead.
8:11 pm
>> is what the department did enough in terms of having the secretary and mr. mendez do they need to determine who is the ownership question first and i that the permit was issued to the corporation with the understanding that certain individual will be managing it and so that permit itself could be issued. >> so as long as as the valid corporation. >> this other issue they'll have so pursue and if they prove they're not the owner they can challenge to continue to use the permit but the permit was issued to a corporations with certain individuals managing other corporation or the operations so i think the permit itself could be issued. >> that's helpful thank you.
8:12 pm
>> and, of course, that doesn't preclude anyone if challenging it in the superior court. >> further discussions. >> i'm going to move to uphold the ordinances o ownerships the permit on the basis that the permit was issued correctly. >> there's a motion on the floor from communicating to uphold the medical ensues on that motion to uphold commissioner president lazarus. >> commissioner honda commissioner wilson thank you the vote is had to zero the permit is upheld
