To Mayor Simison and Meridian City Council members, Please Please Please do not allow the Oasis Night club to be built at the designated Eagle and Ustick location. Keep this trash out by the freeway or somewhere else, not in the heart of Meridian. The club is not a good fit for this part of the community, as we have concerns for the image, influence, and safety of our children. Those in this community that would like to enjoy it, can travel a little further if that's what they really want. Let's build something more useful and beneficial to the community as a whole at the Eagle and Ustick location. Also, something like this needs to be better communicated to the residents. I really dislike the fact that they are advertising that it will be here this year, but they don't have the approval from the City Government or City residents yet. Let us move the location elsewhere! At the least, give the residents a choice of locations for the Oasis to build. Thank you for listening to a concerned citizen of Meridian Idaho, -- Ben Johnson b.johnson812@gmail.com (971) 241-1596 1 Chris Johnson From:Robert Simison Sent:Thursday, March 11, 2021 12:09 PM To:Ben Johnson; City Clerk Cc:Liz Strader; Joe Borton; Brad Hoaglun; Treg Bernt; Jessica Perreault; Luke Cavener Subject:RE: Night Club location Ben, Thank you for your email.
