marijuana related. He is trying to impress upon NOS that these types of events don't fit
with the City and the reputation they are trying to build. He reminded the Mayor that the
City of San Bernardino is taking on the perspective NOS is not an entity that is
ungoverned. The City's attorney believes most of its events that affect the City of San

and the needs to start permitting each of its events and making sure there are various
inspections before it continues. Talks are still ongoing, and Mayor Davis has suggested
