▶ 16:27 Mary Beth McAteer-Margolis: luck you as well next item on the agenda is two zero one six dash six six it's a communication from the massachusetts state lottery commission regarding the keynote to go license at franklin
▶ 16:43 Mary Beth McAteer-Margolis: market 463 franklin street in melrose we did consider this order prior to this meeting
▶ 16:50 Monica C. Medeiros: last month Alderman Medeiros motion to recommend this be placed on file we have
▶ 16:58 Mary Beth McAteer-Margolis: had well we can do that we have had some communication from our president to the lottery correct which his letter is attached stating our objection I believe after checking with the city solicitor that the lottery is going to respond to Is that President Kahn?
▶ 17:18 Speaker 8: Yeah, at our last meeting when we considered this order, the board voted to request that I send a letter to the Lottery Commission, indicating that we were not in favor of the grant of this license, which we did. Apparently somebody from the Lottery Commission contacted Mr. Van Campen, I wanted to know whether we understood what we were doing, which we try to at all times, and indicated that he wanted to send a letter from the Lottery Commission to the Board of Aldermen, which I believe will be forthcoming.
▶ 18:02 Speaker 8: And I think when we get that, we can deal with this order further.
▶ 18:07 Mary Beth McAteer-Margolis: So, would you like to recommend that we, Alderman Medeiros, just would like to ask President
▶ 18:13 Monica C. Medeiros: Kahn if he suggests that I withdraw my motion to move it along or?
▶ 18:19 Speaker 8: I'm not confident that we'll have a letter by Tuesday, although the gentleman did tell Mr. Van Kampen that he was going to send a letter this week. I don't think there's any urgent time clock on this. If the committee wants to keep it in committee, that's fine. If you move it along and we do have the letter on Tuesday, we could consider it. So, really would be up to the committee.
▶ 18:44 Speaker 7: Withdraw my motion.
▶ 18:46 Mary Beth McAteer-Margolis: All right, the motion has been withdrawn and the second as well. So, just in terms of background, we currently have, well it's showing on the website for the state that there are nine, because it is showing Franklin Market as one of them. However, they have not obviously been approved, and they had it previously under their other ownership. So we are going to receive a letter, so we may want to hold this in committee if there is a motion.
▶ 19:15 Speaker 5: Motion to hold in committee.
▶ 19:16 Mary Beth McAteer-Margolis: Second. Alderman Vazell makes a motion to hold it in committee, seconded by Alderman Lemmerman. Is there any discussion? All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Okay. That order will be held in committee pending the response from the State Lottery Commission. Do we have a motion to adjourn? Alderman Boisselle? Seconded by Alderman Inferno. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? This committee is adjourned. Stay tuned for Finance. Good evening. It is 7 50.
