BUSINESS LICENCE SUSPENSION HEARING

2.

Opportunity for Business Licence Holder to be heard in accordance with Section 60 of the Community Charter – Ming Kwan, principle of the business.

Mr. Ray Lee, accompanied by Mr. Edward Hsieh, owners of the Insomnia Karaoke Restaurant, reported that a manager had been employed to run the business for them; that the manager had been advised that the owners did not condone smoking. 

Mr. Lee stated however that a bonus system was in place to reward increased sales and may have been the reason which the manager allowed patrons to smoke on the premises.  He advised that as a result of the tickets which were issued for smoking infractions, that the manager was fired and a new manager hired.

Mr. Lee stated that the new manager has been instructed to enforce the “No Smoking” regulations, ‘no smoking’ signs were posted inside the facility, and ashtrays were placed outside.  He stated that it was not financially practical to close his business over the holidays and he asked that Council consider another form of penalty, such as a monetary fine.

In response to questions on how the owners had addressed the problem, Mr. Lee advised that ‘no smoking’ signs had been posted throughout the premises; that customers were advised upon entering the restaurant that smoking was not allowed; and that he and his partners visited the premises on a daily basis to ensure that patrons were not smoking inside the facility. 

Mr. Lee further advised that he and the other owners had been unaware of any smoking infractions occurring until receipt of the first ticket.  He indicated that the manager was given a warning at that time, and was subsequently fired after additional tickets were received.  Mr. Lee stated that a new manager had now been employed, however the owners made daily visits to the restaurant to ensure that smoking was not occurring on-site.

R04/22-3

AND WHEREAS the Vancouver International Airport Authority has paid over $660 million in rent to the federal government for a facility which had a historical cost of $255 million;

AND WHEREAS the return from Vancouver International Airport should be provincial and national economic growth, not rent;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Richmond call upon the federal government to adopt a new rent policy that is fair, equitable, transparent and sustainable and includes:  a 50% reduction of total rent throughout the airport system; the elimination of rent entirely for all but the eight largest airports, and tying future increases directly and proportionately to changes in passenger and freight traffic;

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution be conveyed to Prime Minister Paul Martin, the Honourable Jean-C.

(1)

enter into immediate negotiations with the United States for a true Open Skies agreement including fifth freedom rights;

(2)
