said they would help take care of it, but they were told to not bother last time, and there seemed to be some mix up as to whether they could or not. Moore: May I respond, sir? Takase: Sure. Moore: This year, the dispensary is closing early, they won't even be open, it's not going to be an issue, and to address last year in all honesty, and I'm a pharmacist, I've been a pharmacist for 20 years, I have a Doctor of Pharmacy, all I was simply acknowledging is because there was a dispensary on premises, that their patients have certain rights, and that I was not in a position to say legally what to enforce or not, that if the liquor inspector wanted to have that directive to the security team, no problem, but that I was not a lawyer and I did not want to get into any kind of legal discussion about it. I just didn't feel like it was my place to be honest with you, but we completely mitigated that by just having the dispensary and that team, it's closing early, not closed for the whole day, so hopefully that addresses that concern, sir. Takase: Okay, thank you. Moore: Thank you. Nishimoto: Is there any other discussion of the motion? Ibarra: Yes, you understand that even if the Commission approves this Class 10 Special License, that you must comply with all other laws of the State and County applicable to you and the business. Moore: Understood, thank you, sir. Shropshire: Understood. Nishimoto: Very good, alright, let's move to a vote. All those in favor say "Aye." The Commissioners voted "Aye." Nishimoto: All those opposed, "Nay." There was no opposition by Commissioners. Nishimoto: It has been approved for your Special Class 10 license. The motion was carried unanimously.
