Unidentified speaker urges arrests over loitering at laundromat
An unidentified speaker urged stepped-up enforcement at a laundromat under new ownership, saying people loitering inside and outside the business are deterring customers.

"The laundromat is under new ownership," the unidentified speaker said, and "we've had some issues with people hanging out inside of the laundromat and outside, which is deterring customers from coming into the laundromat and taking care of their business." The speaker urged officers to perform regular, in-person premise checks during business hours rather than just observing from vehicles.

The speaker said there are "pre signed complaints in the station" related to the establishment and called for strong action if people do not leave, saying, "put them in jail, put them in jail until they get the message." The transcript does not specify which agency operates the referenced station or which patrol commander was meant; the speaker referred to "the station" and a "patrol commander" without naming an agency.

The remarks repeatedly framed the issue as harming customers and the business's ability to operate: "We're not gonna have these people deterring the people who need to use this establishment..." The transcript records the speaker directing others to "talk to your supervisors, talk to the patrol commander" for further information on the pre-signed complaints and any enforcement steps.

The transcript does not record any formal motion, directive, or vote on the matter, nor does it record any response from supervisors or a named official about planned enforcement. The matter appears to be a request for enforcement and clarification rather than the record of a formal action.
