Loading...
Summary
The Chickasaw City Council on Jan. 27 set a public hearing for Feb. 18 at 5 p.m. to consider non-renewal or revocation of the business license for Gulf Coast Hotel Group LLC, which operates as M Star Hotel and/or Best Inn; the motion passed unanimously.
The Chickasaw City Council voted Jan. 27 to set a public hearing for Feb. 18, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. to consider the non-renewal or revocation of the business license of Gulf Coast Hotel Group LLC, doing business as M Star Hotel and/or Best Inn. Councilmember Ken Sterrett moved to set the hearing and Councilmember Kathy Couey seconded; the motion passed by unanimous voice vote (AYE: Colvin, Sterrett, Couey, White, Trout, Hanson).
Council minutes record the date and time for the hearing but do not state the specific grounds or supporting documentation for the potential non-renewal or revocation. No ordinance, report, or statute was cited in the minutes; the reason for the action is recorded in the agenda text only as “Non-renewal/Revocation of Business License.”
The hearing will provide an opportunity for the council to receive evidence and public comment before any formal decision on the license. The minutes do not indicate whether staff were directed to prepare a report, which documents will be considered at the hearing, or whether the city will accept written submissions in advance. The council’s action on Jan. 27 was limited to scheduling the hearing; no decision on the license was made at the meeting.
Procedurally, the next step is the Feb. 18 public hearing; any formal revocation or non-renewal would require subsequent council action after that hearing. The minutes list four public commenters by name at the Jan. 27 meeting but do not record the content of their remarks.
