CALL TO ORDER
Chair Kehoe called the meeting to order at 7:04 p.m. He announced the exit locations in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes §29-381, after which the Council joined him in the pledge of allegiance.
Chair Kehoe explained that the Council is serving in a judicial capacity at this meeting to hear an appeal from a town decision relative to the application for Leinad, Inc. (d/b/a Kahoots) for the renewal of its permit under the town’s sexually oriented business ordinance. Pursuant to that ordinance, the time frame for filing the application renewal is at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the current license, but not more than 90 days.
Attorney Daniel A. Silver appeared on behalf of Leinad, Inc., the applicant.
Scott Chadwick, Corporation Counsel, appeared on behalf of the Town of East Hartford.
After both attorneys presented their arguments and answered questions from the Councillors, Chair Kehoe closed the hearing and stated that, per the ordinance, the Town Council has 10 days to render a final decision. No further action will be taken this evening, but rather another special meeting will be called early next week to review a proposed decision.
