Dianne, thanks for the heads up, unfortunately it's the middle of our biggest and busiest month in Balboa. Due to the problem of acquiring employees, at 64 years old I'm working 7 days a week,10 hours a day right now. If you can forward them my letters , It's probably all I can do, other than reiterate, as predicted the day of filming all the businesses from Washington to Main St. were down 40%-50% from the previous year and from the previous Friday (it was allowed on a holiday weekend).

Tony
Tomorrow the City Council will have a study session item on the agenda on the subject of film permit regulations and management. Study session begins at 4 PM. I encourage you to attend because you had personal experience for the recent filming in the fun zone.
Your input will be valuable.

This issue can be fixed by shutting down this filming or forcing them to compensate all the business's they are affecting.

Tony —
I am so sorry this filming will cause problems for your business. We need to fix our ordinance but unfortunately not before this scheduled event. I will discuss with city staff.

We have a problem with trying to meet all together before this is supposed to happen. We are all severely under staffed and are working almost all our hours ourselves. We can call individually, drop off signed papers asking for your help and send emails, unless you can send someone down to discuss with us at our locations. We've gone through our books and I will likely lose $2500.00 in sales, the rest estimate between $600 for the smallest biz to $1500. My store is the largest in Balboa, so I have the most potential loss. Haven't we had a hard enough time with covid? This is adding insult to injury. Please give us a break.
Sincerely Tony George

Tony please continue to send communications to the entire council and city manager by using [email protected]. We will need two other council members to vote with us to get any changes made to our ordinance. City staff is looking for all ways to lessen the impact while we work through the necessary channels.
