ACCORDING TO THE HERALD TRIBUNE, CITY MANAGER MARTY BLACK WANTS TO KNOW WHY TAVERN ON THE ISLAND WAS ABLE TO OPEN DESPITE SEVERAL CODE VIOLATIONS AND WITHOUT BUILDING INSPECTIONS. ALSO, THE PAPER REPORTS THAT TWO CITY CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS HAVE CALLED VENICE POLICE AND ALLEGED THAT THE OWNER OF THE TAVERN, MICHAEL VELLUCCI, HAD THREATENED THEM. VELLUCCI DENIED THE ALLEGATIONS AND FEELS HIS NEW BUSINESS, WHICH USED TO BE NORMA JEAN’S, IS BEING PICKED ON. CITY BUILDING INSPECTION MANAGER HANS BEHRENS APPEARS TO BE IN THE CENTER OF THE STORM. THE STORY SAYS THAT THREE OF BEHRENS’ EMPLOYEES CAME TO HIM WITH CONCERNS BEFORE THE BAR OPENED, BUT NOTHING WAS DONE.
