City Council Approves Temporary Licenses for Rotary Club Concert Series

The Two Rivers City Council meeting on July 21, 2025, focused on several key topics, including event licensing, noise ordinance considerations, and financial summaries.

One of the main discussions involved the approval of a temporary Class B license for the Rotary Club. The council reviewed nine licenses for the upcoming Friday night concert series, scheduled for August 15, 22, and 29, as well as September 5, 12, and 26, 2025. Additionally, three licenses were requested for events at the beach on August 17, 24, and 30, 2025.

The council also considered a request from the Tannery Club LLC for a noise ordinance waiver. This waiver would allow live music on September 13, 2025, from 4 PM to 10 PM, exempting the venue from certain noise and vibration restrictions that apply to residential areas. The recommended action was to approve the applications and authorize the necessary waivers.

In financial matters, the council reviewed verified bills for May 2025, totaling $2,000,783.47, and for June 2025, amounting to $1,666,850.51. The council moved to receive and file these financial summaries.

The meeting concluded with a motion to approve the consent agenda, which included the various actions discussed. The council also addressed formal items, including minutes from the plan commission meeting on July 14, 2025, which recommended setting a public hearing to amend a conditional use permit for Ross Auto and Transmission Service located at 2005 Hawthorne Avenue.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's ongoing efforts to support community events while managing local regulations and financial oversight.
