Approval – Outside Consumption Permit Regular Veterans Association Post #514 – 84 Weaver St. This item was tabled from a previous Liquor Control Meeting. The Mayor said the RVA had submitted a permit application for an Outside Consumption Permit for their property at 84 Weaver Street which was discussed at our last meeting. Their application was tabled so that staff could provide additional information and a representative of the RVA could be present to answer any questions. Mayor Lott said Scott Lemieux of the RVA is here tonight. She asked if there were any questions from Council regarding the memo that staff provided. Council Oakleaf asked if they would have limited operating hours. She also asked if we could issue based on a probationary period. City Manager Baker said to the best of her knowledge we have not done that in the past, or since I have been here, but it can be done. The Mayor asked Mr. Lemieux if they reached out to the concerned citizens. He said they have not but they have taken measures to minimize the noise, such as, they built a fence and enclosed the back dec area. They also talked about moving to the front of the building, to create more of a buffer between the neighbors, since the majority of the complaints have come from the neighbors to the rear of the property. Each Council member voiced their opinion on the decision. MOTION by Councilor Oakleaf seconded by Councilor Myers to approve a Conditional Outside Consumption Permit to the Regular Veterans Association Post #514 running from April 5th through June 30th. Councilor Colston and Council Duncan voted no. The Mayor broke the tie by voting no. Motion failed 2-3. b.
