Summary

The council continued a show‑cause hearing for Pyramid Club, which is closed and remains without insurance; the club's representative said prior insurer declined and they are pursuing new brokers. Council agreed to continue the hearing to the first meeting in June while the business remains inactive.

During the licensing portion of the meeting the council heard an update from Kyle Bennett representing the Pyramid Club, which faces a show‑cause matter for operating without a valid Class D alcoholic beverage license.

Bennett said the club remains closed because it has been unable to renew insurance. "Our original insurer gave a reason saying simply that the license had lapsed and they weren't interested in renewing it," he told the council, and said he is now working with multiple brokers to find coverage. The applicant asked for time to secure insurance.

The solicitor and councilors discussed options and timing; because the establishment is closed staff and the solicitor agreed a continuance was appropriate. The council voted to continue the show‑cause hearing to the first meeting in June while the license holder works to meet conditions. No new penalties were imposed at this meeting.
