Council hears DeBella extension request; leaves in‑city business licensing with staff
Summary
DeBella representatives requested a 30‑day extension after failing to secure attorney representation; the council recorded the request and the mayor will follow up. Clerk-Treasurer Tina Davidson asked whether council wanted heightened approval for in-city business licenses and the council decided no additional steps were required; Dessa continues to authorize in‑city licenses.
Representatives of DeBella asked the council for a 30‑day extension because they were unable to get an attorney to appear; the minutes note that 'Adam was asking if we would give them a 30day extension' and that Mayor Dwayne Paris would follow up with Adam to determine status.
In a related discussion, City Clerk-Treasurer Tina Davidson asked the council whether there should be a higher form of approval for business licenses for entities located inside the city. The minutes state that the Department of Revenue handles credentials and licensing but that Dessa authorizes 'in city' licenses. The council decided no additional action would be taken and Dessa will continue authorizing in‑city business licenses.
