Hostile Ex-Mayor CLAUDE LEONARD WEEKS, JR. Writes E-mail About Substandard Bathrooms to NY Times and Everyone "except Ed" ("I have no obligation or desire to respond to him!")



Millionaire beneficiary of a no-bid perpetual City lease worth $2-3 million, ex-Mayor of St. Augustine CLAUDE LEONARD WEEKS, JR., obviously has emotional problems about First Amendment protected activity.
Did he truly believe that I would not receive his odd E-mail? (stating inter alia, "Hello All (except Ed). I have no obligation or desire to respond to him!")
In response to the FOLIO WEEKLY article, WEEKS whines: "Thank-you for all that you are having to endure!"

Hello All (except Ed). I have no obligation or desire to respond to him!

I spoke with Travis at the FCC today. The urinal stopped draining over the weekend and was overflowing. It is usually due to a calcium buildup in the drain line, due to heavy usage. Travis's crew covered the urinal to prevent usage so the water would not spill onto the floor. As you might imagine. With heavy usage on the weekend, if the drain is somewhat clogged up, and can't drain as rapidly as needed, it will overflow and then someone could slip and fall. We still have one urinal and 2 toilets that work. We did the responsible thing to prevent a real mess.

Travis ordered a very expensive calcium dissolver to pour into the urinal (something that we have to do once in a while). It just came in today. He will use it in the morning, as you can't pour it into the urinal without closing the bathrooms down during the day.

Hopefully, this will solve the problem.

As you know, we close down the Restaurant for 5 days the week after labor day each year for a major cleaning, painting and refurbishing of the grounds, exterior of the building, and restrooms.

Thank-you for all that you are having to endure!

How long has plastic wrap been on one of the two urinals in men's room? What is the purpose? Who put it there? Why not fix the urinal instead of cover it? Please send any inspection reports. Thank you.
