Actions included approvals (often with warning letters or amended plans), multiple holds to the call of the chair, several denials/nonrenewals for nonappearance or regulatory violations, and targeted suspensions based on police, health department, and aldermanic testimony. The committee recommended File 251558 for approval as amended (5-0) and placed several ordinance/communications files on file.
