I accept your status as a manager in view of your ability to forget recent events, not learn from experience and superimpose your own, more palatable version of the truth on that actually experienced by others.
However you gloss it, you just had a warning from the city - I'd suggest that you heed it. A little less talking up and a little more getting down to hard work and, who knows, coupled with a little humility perhaps - I hope for the sake of the staff who work for you that everything will be good for the future.
