Franklin Common Council approves entertainment license for Tailspin at West Pewds Road

The Franklin Common Council approved a business entertainment and amusement license for Tailspin, located at 8330 West Pewds Road, during a special meeting on March 16, 2026. Alderman Eichmann moved to approve the license, saying the application had been reviewed in the license committee, and the motion was seconded and carried.

The item was introduced as “Item 3,” and the council noted the applicant, Jen Halverson, as the owner of Tailspin. During discussion Alderman Eichmann said, “Then I would like to go ahead and make the motion to approve,” and a second was recorded. The presiding officer called for the vote; members present said “Aye,” and the presiding officer announced the motion carried.

According to the roll call taken earlier in the meeting, Aldermen Peckarelli, Eichmann, Solus and Craig were present; Aldermen Assan and Dey were excused. With four members present, the council recorded the approval by voice vote; no nay votes or abstentions were recorded on the record.

The meeting also included a brief procedural opening, a pledge of allegiance and a citizen comment period that produced no speakers. After the Tailspin license was approved, council members moved to adjourn and the meeting concluded.

Alderman Eichmann was identified on the record as the member who moved the approval; the transcript does not record the name of the member who seconded the motion, nor does it record individual roll-call votes on the motion.
