R003/010 <br /> Mr. David Trey <br /> Deputy District Attorney <br /> December 10, 1999 <br /> Page Two <br /> my client now keaps one► or twd` fift-k (5`0)" pound tanks <br /> on line, and there is one backup. When one of the two on <br /> line are "out", they are replaced with the backup. When <br /> the third one is nearly out, two are ordered to replace two <br /> of them. This keeps the CO2 on hand at lens than 125 <br /> pounds at any one time. <br /> while Hammer Lane restaurant occasionally has one tank <br /> delivered to the Eddie's classic Billiards location, which <br /> is a separate entity and in a separate space next door in <br /> space three (3) of the shopping center where the restaurant <br /> is located, it is invoiced to the account at the pizza <br /> restaurant only for convenience Bake, and the Billiard room <br /> serves only soda and is open eveninge and weekends only and <br /> uses very little CO2 . 'there is usually only one fifty <br /> pound tank there at any one time . <br /> On two occasions during the past year, the driver <br /> delivered more than he was supposed to at ptors number two, <br /> Air Gas has been given firm instructions not to deliver <br /> more than 100 pounds to the restaurants. On these two <br /> occasions, I am told that the restaurant had run completely <br /> out of cO2 and the manager believed conformity would be met <br /> with less than one hundred thirty seven (137) pounds after <br /> the drink eystems were charged up and full. The piping to <br /> all the soda systems exceeds one hundred (100) feet. It <br /> should also be noted that my client has used the CO2 in the <br /> same amounts in a manner that he has operated for <br /> approximately the last twenty two (22) years . <br /> Suffice to say, my client does not consider himself a <br /> uninformed or negligent operator, my client is a hands on <br /> operator of his restaurants where he has been so employed <br /> for the last twenty two (22) years. My client has also <br /> been on the State Board of the California Restaurant <br /> Association for the last ten years, as well as being <br /> president of the local chapter three (3) times . Hy, client <br /> is aware of no publicationa to the restaurant community at . <br /> large, which define the limits of what levels can be, used <br /> without emergency services involvement- I do question the <br /> amount of notice that the restaurant community is given <br /> relative to this issue. <br />
