Summary

The Licensing Committee met Feb. 25 and approved several taxi operator licenses (motions seconded and passed by aye). One applicant was not present and their license was tabled; another absent applicant's license was denied after a motion to deny.

The Lynn Licensing Committee on Feb. 25 considered applications for new taxi operator licenses and approved a string of individual applications, with motions to approve seconded and passed by voice vote.

Approved licenses included Felix Challas (30 Lowell St., Peabody), Wilson Duran Seguro (address transcribed in packet), George Luz Fuentes, Arnulfo Niz Lucas, Roberto Yanes Umazor (30 Lyman St.), Junior Dyson (1 Kingswood Lane) and others listed at the committee meeting. Where applicants were present the committee moved, seconded and approved the licenses; all approved applicants were told their licenses were ready in the Clerk’s Office (Room 201).

One applicant, Yuri Ventura (21 Franklin St.), was not present and the committee moved to table that application. Another tabled applicant, Jose Cerda Almonte, was not present and the committee voted to deny his application after a motion and second.

Why it matters: Licensing decisions allow taxi operators to work in the city and are routine committee business; the committee recorded motions, seconds and voice votes for each application.
