Lynchburg council authorizes mayor to execute Pappy's Pub settlement; solicitor says agreement not yet signed
Summary
Council voted 6-0 to authorize the mayor to execute a settlement agreement with Pappy's Pub. Village Solicitor Randalyn Worley told the public the motion had been made but the agreement had not yet been signed by both parties and that the settlement would alter alcohol service hours.
The Village of Lynchburg Council voted unanimously on Oct. 10, 2024, to authorize the mayor to execute a settlement agreement involving Pappy's Pub. The motion to authorize execution was made by Marty Bailey, seconded by Chris Toller, and passed 6-0.
During the petitions/public portion, resident Ellen Pennington asked whether the council's decision would be made public. Village Solicitor Randalyn Worley responded that the council had made a motion to authorize the mayor to execute the settlement but that, as of the meeting, the agreement had not been signed by both parties. Worley also said the settlement would change the hours when alcohol may be served; the minutes do not specify the new hours or other settlement terms.
The minutes record the council vote to authorize execution but do not include the settlement document or an effective date for changes to alcohol service hours. The council's action authorizes the mayor to sign a draft settlement once both parties execute it and does not itself finalize the agreement until signatures are in place.
