Good evening, Honorable Vice Mayor and members of the City Council. Tonight you have before you an application for Entertainment Without Dancing for Venus Entertainment Inc during business hours.

And that concludes staff's report. Thank you. Is there a public comment on this item? Okay. Sing. No, we'll take it back behind the rail. So I'm making the motion here and just to give a little bit of background. So this space, this space was I think it was called Flamingo Gentlemen's Club, something like that years ago. And so this operators stepped forward years ago, released the the, you know, gentleman entertainment permit in exchange for becoming a restaurant and bar. And so they've they've done it done well, but they need to, you know, sort of in order to thrive, make some tweaks. So I'm supportive of the conditions that are here. And so I'm going to support the item tonight. This recommendation, Councilman Austin. I'm with you. Councilman Mongo. I'm excited that this bar owner is also trying to lift up a bar in my district that's been having some challenges. And so I look forward to supporting this tonight. And a future item in in. The fifth District where she'll be able to do. The same thing. Thank you, members. Please cast your vote. I'm yes. Wow. Tasmania Mango Council member Andrews. Motion carries. Thank you.
