He <br />noted the statute allows sampling which represents the crux of why the City changed its <br />Ordinance and tonight's action represents the City 's ability to act on that Ordinance. He added <br />there has been some rhetoric about the value of the improvements made to the building and the <br />City 'S building pennit application indicates the value of these improvements was about l/61h of <br />the amount claimed. <br />Councilmember Roth stated he has struggled with the definition of sampling and he did not <br />understand how a business model could be created around something you sample. He indicated <br />in his opinion, this is indoor smoking and does not represent sampling. <br />Mayor Faust stated the City Council does not take lightly revoking someone 's license. He <br />indicated revisions to the City 's Ordinance began last April so this has not been sprung on <br />anyone without advance notice. He added this is not an easy decision but the City Council is <br />charged with the betterment of the community. <br />Motion carried nnanimously. <br />REPORTS FROM COMMISSION AND STAFF. <br />None. <br />GENERAL BUSINESS OF COUNCIL. <br />A .
