The Fall River Licensing Board convened on Wednesday, November 16, 2022, at 5:00 PM. The meeting began with a reading of the open meeting law and the public comment policy, though no public input was received. The board approved several one-day permits, including one for the Police Athletic League of Fall River for multiple dates in late 2022 and early 2023, and another for Whites of Westport for a United Way function on December 2, 2022. A common victualer license was granted to Popeye's Chicken at 933 Pleasant Street, with Bal Siddiqui as the representative. Significant portions of the meeting involved approving changes to licenses due to the passing of owners. The board approved multiple changes for Modern Snack Bar, transferring all ownership and management responsibilities from the late Mr. Camara to his wife, Maria Camara. Similarly, changes were approved for Mariscada Azores Restaurant, transferring ownership and management from the late Walter Sousa to his wife, Lucia Sousa. All these changes were approved unanimously. In old and new business, the board noted that The Path Restaurant at 820 King Philip Street had already received necessary approval from the ABC. They also ratified a one-day all-alcohol permit for the Police Athletic League for November 12, 2022, and approved and signed minutes from September 13 and September 21, 2022. Finally, the board unanimously approved the entire meeting schedule for 2023 before adjourning.

6:27attorney Jeff Medeiros I am an attorney with the Law Office of Burke espinola and Van coolen located here in the city of Florida we're at 120 Purchase Street I am here representing a modern snack bar with regard to the change of offices Mr Kamara has passed he was diagnosed with a brain tumor it was a rapid progression and before he passed away he wanted to transfer all of the ownership of modern
7:00snackbot to his wife Maria so there's votes in the file where he basically resigned all the positions he transferred 100 of the stock to his wife and that's why we are here this evening to change the offices and then uh you probably see me once this is approved Miss Camara is in the process of selling modern snack bars so once this gets done we couldn't just go from Mr kamara's name to the new uh
7:35entity that's purchasing the establishment we had to transfer it to miss Camara first and then we're going to transfer it to the new owner sure so if um Miss cadero if you do not have any questions I guess the one thing Isaac suggest is we we should probably do multiple motions here for all of the all of the items um so the chair would entertain a motion for change of officers um attorney Madeira said that the
8:10legal term is escaping me I mean is this is It's a sole ownership though Soul ownership so she's the only stockholder correct so 100 of the uh shares was transferred from Mr Camara there is a vote that's in the file yep so he transferred 100 of his ownership he resigned as the president treasurer secretary and director yep then um they had a meeting it's just a technicality with regard to a single uh ownership
8:42she is now holding all of the positions as president treasurer secretary and director she's also the manager she took over the managing responsibilities of the snack bar so this is just snack bar is still operating now well it's just it's Symphony Israel yeah so we should probably at least do within the parentheses yeah okay uh I'll make a motion to approve the change of officers uh modern snack bar
