The Fall River Licensing Board convened on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. The meeting was chaired by Greg Brilliant, with Melanie Cado also present as a member. The board began by reading the open meeting law and the city's policy for public comment, noting that no citizens had signed up to speak, thus precluding any public input for the session. The primary item on the agenda was the consideration of one-day permits for St. Michael School, located at 206 Essex Street. Shaina Labold represented the school, applying for permits for multiple dates: November 8 and December 7, 2025, and February 7, March 21, May 23, May 30, and May 31, 2026. These permits were requested for various school and church functions, specifically for the sale of beer and wine only. The board confirmed that these were reoccurring events and noted the varying times, including an afternoon nativity play and luncheon. After a brief discussion, Melanie Cado made a motion to approve all requested one-day permits for St. Michael School. The motion was seconded by Greg Brilliant and subsequently passed unanimously. Following this decision, a motion to adjourn the meeting was made and seconded, concluding the session.
