The Fall River Licensing Board convened on Wednesday, September 21st, at 5:30 PM. After reading the Open Meeting Law and the policy for public comment, the board moved through its agenda. The first item, public input, saw no speakers. The board then addressed several common victualer's license applications, tabling an application for Mr. Chen at 210 Rhode Island Avenue due to his absence, with a motion made by Mrs. Esposito and seconded by Miss Cadero, passing unanimously. Subsequently, the board approved two common victualer's licenses for Taco Bell locations. The first was for 195 Mariano Bishop Boulevard, with a seating capacity of 80, following a corporate change and a positive report from the Fall River Police Department. The applicant was Crystal K Burge, representing the corporation with an address in Kingman, Arizona. The second approval was for Taco Bell at 150 Plymouth Avenue, with a seating capacity of 44, also with Crystal K Burge as the applicant. Both Taco Bell approvals passed unanimously with motions from Mrs. Esposito and seconds from Miss Cadero. The final substantive item involved a pledge of a liquor license for Habab Club LLC at 144 Guild Street. Attorney Peter Celino, representing Fall River Five Cent Savings Bank, explained that the pledge was to secure a business loan made to the club. The board reviewed the necessary documentation, including a certificate of good standing and a letter regarding no employees. The motion to approve the pledge of the liquor license to Fall River Five Cent Savings Bank was made by Mrs. Esposito, seconded by Miss Cadero, and passed unanimously. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
