OMNI/BEANERY REPORT
Mann explained that this issue has been removed from the Agenda tonight. Assistant City
Attorney Haenel explained that the Pinches, owners of the Beanery, have hired an attorney to
represent them in this matter as well as helping them to solve the parking dispute between the
Omni and the Beanery. Haenel expressed that this is the proper form to follow with resolving
the parking problem. Tom Pinches noted that parking is not the issue but rather what is going
on in the parking lot. Haenel further noted that the Pinches' attorney is laying out all of the
concerns in a letter that will be forwarded to the City Attorney's Office and at that time it will
be dealt with in the best way possible. Chief Crawford explained that he is scheduling a meeting
to discuss the ordinance and compliance with the ordinance.
