CALL TO ORDER

Chairman Coffey called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. He said that there were no members of the public present to speak. He read the roll call.

OLD BUSINESS

Outdoor Dining – Authorization for the Mayor to execute license agreements with any establishment
that has duly completed the permit process provided under Chapter 45, Article IV of the Norwalk Code.

Chairman Coffey said the Special Meeting tonight is regarding Outdoor Dining. He said it was a communication error as to why they were led to believe what the interpretations were. He originally believed the changes were more drastic than they are. It is only to switch the name of former Mayor Alex Knopp to Mayor Richard Moccia. Ms. Lasberg confirmed that was accurate. She explained that this is the same special dining permit and license agreement that was drafted last year by the Committee at the same time they drafted the Outdoor Dining ordinance.

Chairman Coffey called the question.

** CHAIRMAN COFFEY MOVED TO SEND THE NEW AGREEMENT TO COMMON COUNCIL.
** MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

Chairman Coffey said that at next week’s meeting, they will discuss the Norwalk Homeowner Property Protection Ordinance. He said he is still waiting for the eminent domain information from Hartford. He said they will also discuss the Living Wage Ordinance and Project Labor Agreements that Mr. Hilliard has provided them. He said there was miscommunication between himself and Ms. Bryant regarding the Demolition Moratorium. He has invited Ms. Bryant back, along with members of the Historic Commission, to give the Committee a presentation on what the Historical Commission would like to see. He said they will also be reviewing the Ethics Committee revisions.

Ms. Lasberg said they would like to propose adding an agenda item to next week’s meeting. It would be to clarify the use of alcohol for Outdoor Dining. She said some changes were drafted, and she will have them included in the packet.

ACTION ON BUSINESS ITEMS
