Dear Members of the City Council
City of Commerce
The emergency situation at our business continues to persist. Without the ability to host events under the TUP, Dirt Dog would face a significant loss of revenue that is important to maintaining operations. Prior to the approval of the temporary event permits, Dirt Dog was facing the very real possibility of closure due to ongoing operational and financial challenges which we have expressed in the past.
The revenue generated through permitted events has been critical in allowing us to remain open, retain employees, and continue serving the community. If the permit is not extended, we would be forced to cease operations, resulting in the loss of jobs for our employees and the closure of Dirt Dog.
The emergency situation recognized by the City Council has not been resolved and continues to exist. The requested extension is necessary to allow the business to remain operational while we continue working toward long-term stability.
We respectfully request a six-month extension of the Temporary Use Permit currently in place.
Kind regards,
Timothy Cam
Owner
Dirt Dog / The Compound by Dirt Dog
