V. Public Comments
Commissioner Larkin opened the floor for public comments:
a) Mr. James Morrison expressed concern and opposition towards Decorative Plant Services receiving their lease extension. Several letters were forwarded to the Director requesting the rest of the quarterly reports—to date, he has received one over a year ago. He also wanted information regarding what Decorative Plant Services has done for the community in terms of fulfilling their contract.
Commissioner Larkin responded that it was Mr. Morrison's prerogative to make inquiries. The SECF Commission is here to serve the citizens; and if there is something that is being requested, the Commission will assist. Commissioner Larkin pointed out that making statements that appear to be threats are unacceptable and should be refrained from recurring.
Mr. Morrison reiterated about his non-receipt of data showing accomplishments made by Decorative Plant Services in accordance with their contract. Mr. Joseph Tam with PUC informed him that Decorative Plant Services had fulfilled all their obligations. Mr. Morrison wanted to know "Where was the proof?" He concluded by stating that community support is being gathered for this concern.
Commissioner Larkin noted that "If information is being requested regarding one of the tenants, upon advice of counsel, it will be followed-up". In most cases, these matters are referred to staff; however, since it has been brought to the attention of the Commission, Commissioner Larkin offered to personally follow-up on this matter and try to get back to Mr. Morrison. Commissioner Larkin suggested that Mr. Morrison work with the Commission and staff.
