Summary

The Licenses Committee held the renewal for Bruce City Towing at 4030 W. Douglas Ave. after staff disclosed a police report with multiple items had not been included in the notice packet; attorney Connor Dartz asked the committee to hold so the provisional license would not lapse.

Bruce City Towing's renewal hearing was held after licensing staff and the assistant city attorney flagged a police report that was not included in the applicant's notice packet. The committee discussed whether the applicant would waive notice or prefer the committee to hold the matter until the file is complete.

Attorney Connor Dartz told the committee his client did not object to a hold as long as a hearing could be scheduled within the life of the provisional license. Assistant City Attorney Travis Gresham advised the committee that if an open report exists and was not included in the packet, the applicant should decide whether to proceed without notice because omissions could expose the city to later challenge. Vice Chair Alderman Andrea Pratt and others indicated the applicant also had an outstanding balance; Pratt moved to hold. The committee ordered the matter held and discussed administrative provisional extensions so the applicant would not lapse while the file is resolved.
