Gallo:  have to “revisit that issues with the city administrator” this needs to be fixed.

Juarez: Says that “as a business owner” this has made him “want to close the door when he sees a fire truck” – he will “deal with this” saying “it has to go.”

McMahan:  says that this “tax is a lot of money” also wants people that have outstanding parking tickets in the city to not have to pay instead “wants them to do community service instead.”

Garza: Does not support the high cost and frequency of the fire inspections. Says that a clearer permit process would improve this, and would encourage small businesses to “stay” in Oakland.

Closing statements coming next!
