David- Can you post this? Thanks, Gary For those who are interested in the history of cockroaches at the #1 Vietnamese Restaurant in the Hi-Lake Shopping Center, the staff report and the statement by the business owners agreeing that they have operated without a license since 2001 has been listed on the City's web site for two weeks. The link to that report is below. If you will notice, the history of the Inspections Department interactions with the restaurant starts in October of 2001, before I was sworn into office. Lacking dishwashers and with the presence of cockroaches, the restaurant voluntarily closed in November of 2001. Sorry to disappoint the conspiracy buffs who think "the new elected people in City Hall are already as bad as it took many years for the old gang," but I have had no conversations with Inspections staff about their enforcement actions at this restaurant until I read this staff report for the first time two weeks ago when it was made public on the City's web site. Nor is this a case of "a developer...using city inspections as a tool to make life difficult for the current owners." The facts speak for themselves. Apparently staff has a new report based on more recent inspections, but I haven't seen it yet. For those with more questions, please contact Jim Moncur, the Director of Licensing at 673-3847.
