The Safety Services and Licensing Committee met on Oct. 16 and approved two new business licensing requests.
The committee approved a Class BV liquor license for Ara Enterprise Incorporated, doing business as Sioners Market at 816 Park Avenue. Committee members noted hours of operation listed as daily from 10 a.m. to midnight. The committee vote carries the application to the full council for final action.
The committee also approved an indoor/outdoor entertainment license for Virology LLC at 160 Atwood Ave. Committee members voted in favor with no extended discussion; the clerk recorded a unanimous roll call for the item.
Why it matters: both licenses authorize alcohol sales or entertainment at neighborhood businesses; the liquor license will require full-council approval before take effect.
Council action: committee approvals recorded; the liquor license is scheduled for full-council consideration per standard licensing procedure.
