so why wasn't the use of a hukas which you controlled in your business controlled and why consciously was the use of the hukas continued even after you were notified that it was problematic on most cases? >> the hukas as far as i know, since it was no smoke it's not like smoking cigarettes. >> i just want to ask the question of the gentleman. >> that was brought up last time and that was not clear to me that you cannot basically smoke like vaping people smoke on the sidewalk and then walk into the parklet cigarette, i cannot tell them -- i go there and i say please don't smoke here, and if they say, why don't you get out of here, i'm not going to go and fight with them. there are people who go and smoke and there are people who smoke marijuana, cigarettes and all the stuff on the sidewalk, everywhere and i can only -- i have a sign saying no smoking, and i can only have -- i can only tell them, i cannot really -- >> but in fact in previous notifications by dpw, you were informed na the hukas were problematic yet -- >> no, that was last time and i thought it was smoking huka. >> i'll a

is smoking via a huka considered smoking by the city regulation? was that noted to the permit holder? >> yes, it was specifically state today the permit holder to discontinue all huka smoking. >> so the permit holder has claimed in his presentation that because it was a vaporized smoking implement, it doesn't matter whether it's a vapor implemented or it's good old fashion tobacco. >> that's correct, the permit holder was made aware to discontinue any type of smoking. >> so there's clarity on that to him and there's clarity that that happens to be the law and he was klair -- that was clarified to him? >> yes, correct. >> okay, thank you. anymore questions? >> i have a couple. am i correct there's another parklet adjacent to this one? >> there's one across the street at 533 jones but that one has -- that one does have a separate sponsor. >> have there been issues with that one >> >> yes but there have not been as many complaint and is one of the prominent complaints that was coming through with this one was there was a lot of smoking and late night

we talked about hukas, is that a vapor? can a kid under 18 or can a minor go in and buy a huka? there's -- where i'm getting in conflict haoe, there's a new device called electronic cigarette that's new to us and rightfully so the state and the city has legislated that this is really bad for minors, and what's missing here is this other traditional type of smoking device which might be a pipe, which might be a huka, which might be any number of things that tobacco or other substances can go into, so it can be smoked and i think that's where the ambiguity lies. if you're going to legislate against electronic cigarette that is don't have the nicotine in them, then one might suggest there be clarity on the subject of other smoking devices that also come empty but will be stuffed with a substance that will create smoke in the case of a pipe, will create vapor in the case of a huka and god knows what other people smoke. that's a confusion to me that be a consideration in the overall ambiguity or lack thereof of the information forthcoming from the health department. >> didn't the pac

complaints revolved around the same items no maintenance late operation, further allowing the use of huka smoke within the parklet. the department then contacted the parklet host multiple times with no response. after no response, the public works decided to schedule a public hearing to consider the issue. that hearing was held on march 26 of 20134 and as a result the hearing officer granted 60 days to address the renewal and mitigate the issues and minimize the complaints that were being received. after this, a follow-up e-mail was sent to the parklet tho*es remind of the renewal and

. >> so essentially like a huka -- >> yeah.o work at the breckenridge outdoor education center. trips for people with traumatic brain injuries, epilepsy, cancer, and stuff like that. unfortunately they're a federal non-profit. as of now i haven't really been asked back because of this job. >> so it's tax day in the marijuana industry. because it's federally illegal, the banks don't accept our cash. so we have to show up with x number of dollars. today it's $21,000. at times it's been as much as $80,000 and close to $100,000. >> i feel like people are waiting for someone like me to get out at this government office with a backpack and go pay their marijuana taxes in cash. >> you're not going to stop a state from legalizing marijuana, at least allow them into the banking system so that it's not dangerous. they don't want us to enrich cartels, yet they make us do it all cash. if it was in the banking system, it would be trackable. >> this is 1,000 right now. >> we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11,
