A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to public comment regarding the Cornerstone Lounge, owned by Manuel Silva, which has faced challenges in opening since 2021 due to parking issues and permits. Linda Pereira spoke on his behalf, highlighting over $351,000 in expenses, including $7,000 for liquor licenses and a parking lot cost increase from $1,000 to $2,000 per month. The board agreed to schedule a special meeting before June 12th to address Mr. Silva's concerns. The board approved numerous one-day liquor permits for various annual events, including Troy City Brewing, Day of Portugal, Spiro Santo Church, St. Anthony of Padua Church, Canned Heat Craft Beer, St. John's Holy Ghost Club, and St. Cecilia Band Club. The Day of Portugal permits were granted subject to a final determination by the Fall River Police Department regarding drink limits. A Class Two license was granted to APPC Multiservices LLC for 20 vehicles, and a one-time extension of hours was approved for Board and Batten Marina Inc. for a charitable Poker Run event on August 2nd, with alcohol service starting at 8 AM.

Issues included a patron's car accident, after-hours activity, noise complaints, and an outstanding police detail bill of $654.
