Council confirms former police chief to License Board, grants multiple license petitions
Summary
The council confirmed former Police Chief Kevin Molis to a vacant License Board seat and approved a slate of license petitions (amusement machines, vehicle registrations, extended hours, livery companies/drivers) on committee recommendation.
The Personnel and Appointments Committee unanimously recommended the mayoral appointment of former Police Chief Kevin Molis to the city’s License Board. The council confirmed the appointment on a roll call; councilors discussed that certain license‑board seats are partisan statutory positions and that some boards receive stipends.
Separately, the License Committee vetted a group of license petitions (amusement machines, motor vehicle dealer renewals, extended hours for several establishments, new livery companies and driver licenses). The committee reported unanimous support for the petitions and the council voted to grant them on a roll call recorded as 10–0.
Councilors asked staff about posting requirements for boards and commissions and whether stipends turn appointees into employees; staff said the majority of boards are publicly posted and that stipend decisions are usually tied to statutory designation.
