Council approves soccer tournament, seasonal produce vendor and health fair permits
Summary
Central Falls City Council approved an entertainment/liquor license for an annual adult coed soccer tournament, a seasonal outdoor produce vendor license (with a fee waiver), and a space permit for a community health fair hosted by Mujeres; police and department signoffs were discussed for several events.
The Central Falls City Council approved a series of community-event and vendor licenses at its meeting.
Council reviewed an entertainment and beer-and-wine license for an 11th annual adult coed soccer tournament, which organizers said would include a DJ and run for about four weeks with rain dates at the middle school. Police reported no issues for prior years; council recorded a voice vote of 6–0 to approve the request.
The council also heard from a produce wholesaler who asked to sell fruits, vegetables and tropical produce outdoors seasonally. The operator described refrigeration and truck logistics and said the operation would be seasonal. A council member noted the application lacked a signature; after clarification a council member moved to approve the license and to waive the associated fees. The motion carried.
Lola Benavaro Martinez, speaking for Mujeres, requested permission to hold a community health fair at Genspark on July 25–26 with the main programming on July 26 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. "We want to have the space of Genspark and have all the health care and every information that the community needs," Benavaro Martinez said. Council members clarified times and vendor signoffs and approved the request.
For several entertainment permits, including a church picnic presented to the council, police coverage and end times were discussed; the council and police clarified that special-event permits require police officers when indicated in the application.
