Accompanying his words with photographs documenting what took place, Mr. Schneiter wrote on the Iconix Facebook page: "The day was a success and now we are confident that we can safely and responsibly reopen when we are allowed to." LBREPORT.com provides Mr. Schneiter's words verbatim below:

We ran an experiment today.

Our members' health is our top priority and we want to be 100% sure we are proactive and taking all precautions to safely reopen.

So today, we held a yoga class on our rooftop to test our new rigorous protocols which exceed the guidelines in place by the CDC.

Mats were 8ft. apart, class size was limited to ensure proper distancing, our team members wore masks, and spent hours deeply sanitizing the rooftop and equipment before and after class.

The rooftop was sprayed in MonoFoil, an odorless solution that destroys 99.99% of viruses, bacteria and infectious diseases for up to 3 months.

All mats were ran through our MatSana, which uses UV technology to kill harmful bacteria.

And most importantly, the group soaked up Vitamin D, moved their bodies and were grateful to return to a semblance of normalcy.

The day was a success, and now we are confident that we can safely and responsibly reopen when we are allowed to.

We can't wait to get Long Beach moving. How about you?

Mr. Schneiter, who owns/operates Long Beach-based Maverick Investments, has over the years contributed to a number of LB electeds (including the most recent re-election campaign for City Prosecutor Doug Haubert, whose office would decide on prosecution, if any, of misdemeanor charges against anyone stemming under LB's City Health Officer order.) [LBREPORT com believes violation of the Order, like all LB misdemeanors, can also be enforced administratively as a civil matter by imposing a fine.]

Among the public record campaign contributions

• Doug Haubert for City Prosecutor 2018: $500 (Oct. 31, 2017)
• Robert Garcia for Mayor, 2018: $800 (June 3, 2017)
• Robert Garcia Officeholder Account: $500 (March 5, 2018)
• Robert Garcia Officeholder Account: $250 (Oct. 29, 2019)
• Roberto Uranga for City Council: $400 (May 29, 2018) [Mr. Uranga is a Coastal Commission member]
• Suzie Price for City Council CD 3 2018: $400 (June 30, 2017)

Mr. Schneiter's Maverick Investments also contributed $1,000 to 2016 pro-sales tax "Mayor Garcia, Foster & O'Neill Committee to Support Measures A & B to Protect Police & Fire and Repair Infrastructure in Long Beach..." which was an "officeholder controlled committee" whose officeholder is Mayor Robert Garcia. The contribution was made on July 26, 2016 (after the June 7, 2016 election in which LB voters approved the City Hall-sought sales tax.)

Mr. Schneiter also gave $1,000 on Feb. 18, 2018 to "Long Beach Citizens for Good Government" (later renamed "Neighbors for a Better Long Beach")
