The meeting was called to order at 6:37pm.

Board member attendance review The attendance of the following board members was reviewed by the committee: Martha Kenton has resigned. Lisa Napolitano’s review was tabled. Marguerite Scott attended the last review meeting. It was recommended that no action be taken at this time.

The committee also discussed the problem of members leaving early and also meetings not starting on time.

Discussion of Permits & Licenses Committee review procedures.

Changes in procedures will be requests for two months, then requirements.

• Applicants have to turn in questionnaire one week in advance (in electronic format and bring 20 copies to the meeting). • Signed certification that they have distributed notifications within a 500 foot radius. • Applicant (owner/manager) must attend the meeting. If they are a no show, the request is tabled and if they fail to show twice – the committee recommendation will be negative. • The committee will have set default conditions.

All of these conditions should be put in the application.

The Executive Committee had the following questions:

How will the Permits and Licenses Committee do the work? How will the Board take up votes? How can we make some people write all the information in the vote?

Chair of the committee could bullet out the reasons behind the committee vote.

“Default Conditions” need to be developed by the committee. Will hold another working session.

Location decision – policy about how we will treat location based factors. Zoning Board has given the zoning ruling – should we then go against that ruling?

Questionnaires will give committee deeper view of applications. Most important information should be put first on the questionnaire so that clearly “good” applicants can be easily approved.

Next month’s meeting should include further discussion on:

• Committee alignment – should Permits & Licenses stand alone? Some other reconfiguration? • Car service dispatches – Locations of base operations of all under Community Board review.

A motion was made to approve the minutes of the previous meeting held on October 3, 2011. And to “accept as revised”

MOTION APPROVED: UNANIMOUSLY

The minutes were submitted by Nica Lalli.
