Hankerson asks what number to call about unpermitted events
Hankerson describes a permitted organization that saw another event with prohibited bouncy houses and did not know who to call. Cerrone admits the system is informal and apologizes, suggesting the organization call the permit issuer.
would not have gone through the application system.
Because of social media, we do hear about these things from time to time.
Sometimes it's very sudden and late.
When we do learn of something and we can identify the person or the entity that is
promoting that event, we reach out to them.
And we work with our council's office, and we send them a cease and desist letter.
Wherever possible, if we can get in touch with them, we will call them first to let them know that we have to send this letter and to let them know they can apply for a permit.
Yeah, I don't want to speak.
I don't want to kind of say anything that's incorrect.
But I think, you know, in a number of cases, they're not trying to do anything, like, illegal.
Yeah.
They just don't know.
Sure.
We see that oftentimes with, like, runs, you know, and, like, runs, running events.
Like, apologies, I just don't remember the name of the store, but there's, like, sneaker stores.
Yeah.
And they do runs.
But the run is at the park, and it's, like, you know, 100 people or 200 people.
It's like, hey, you need a permit.
And, you know, also with social media, whether it's an individual or, you know, an organization, they have a lot of followers.
And while they can ask their followers to register so they can, you never know how many people are going to show up.
And if you have too many people show up, that can create other obstacles.
And then on top of that, they could be planning a run when there's already an event planned in that area that would add to congestion and kind of impact each other.
I do have a follow-up to that.
And you're right.
I have seen some of the runs happening to which I say I need to join and I don't.
