Ask why live music permit is limited to two years

Why now: Staff recommended approval with conditions, but the 13-0 motion in item 19 on 2026-09-17 specifies a two-year period, and no later procedural step is verified in the record.

What to do: Request the staff report and recommended conditions to find out why a two-year term was attached to the live music venue permit. Also confirm whether the matter went on to City Council, since the record shows no later step.

Act before: After the requested records are produced
