The coffee shop/restaurant on Northeast Sixth Avenue has drawn complaints about inadequate parking, holding unauthorized live events, and an overstuffed Dumpster.
Pryor filed the complaint April 28. (One day later, the commission held a special meeting to authorize an investigation by employment lawyer Brooke Ehrlich; one year ago, she investigated a whistleblower complaint by former Fire Chief Keith Tomey against Moore. Tomey claimed that Moore fired him not because of multiple policy violations listed in the termination letter but because Moore had made a sexual advance that Tomey refused. Ehrlich’s investigation cleared Moore. Tomey has sued the city.)
