The Fall River Licensing Board convened on Wednesday, July 19, 2023, at 5:00 PM. The meeting began with a reading of the open meeting law and public comment policy, noting no public sign-ups. The board then proceeded to address several one-day permit applications for beer and wine licenses. Manuel Mark Dennis Mata's application for the Peter Francisco Statute Fund for events on September 2nd and 3rd, 2023, at the City Gates was unanimously approved. An application from Capiello Boxing Heron was noted as canceled. Michael Ferreira's request for a one-day beer permit for Troy City Brewing Company on August 27th, 2023, was also unanimously approved. Initially, an application from MP Brewing Company for Viva Fall River events was tabled due to the applicant's absence but was later untabled and unanimously approved for three separate dates: July 21st, August 18th, and September 15th, 2023. The board also granted a Common Victualler license to Lexis McGlynn for Twisted Griddle at 757 Robeson Street, which passed unanimously. A reconsideration of a beer and wine license for Paella Resto at 1335-1345 Pleasant Street, with Tamara as the proposed manager, was unanimously approved, pending a site visit. The meeting concluded with the unanimous approval of the May 17, 2023, meeting minutes and a motion to adjourn.
