As the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council (SDCC) Board readies their slate of directors, officers and committee chairs, things get busy on DeBaliviere.
In attendance at the September meeting were Randy Bailey, Margaret Campbell, Bill Duncan, Nancy Farmer, Mary Fleener, Georgi Fox, Greg Freeman, George Genung, Kathleen Hamilton, Paul Kurtz, Bob Mahon, Dan McGuire, Shirley Polk, Neville Vatcha, Arline Webb, Charles Wren and Jack Wright. Charles Wren spoke to the Board about his planned cocktail lounge in the DeBaliviere Center, which would seat under 100 people.
He began by expressing his deep concern for maintaining neighborhood relations and describing his background in law enforcement and community service.
His plans include live, quiet jazz daily and catered food that changes every few weeks. Local musicians and singers will be featured regularly with occasional national performers. Hours will be reasonable, no package liquor sales and/or illegal activities will be allowed or tolerated.
It seems that Wren has considered all aspects of the business including parking, security, noise, and litter, and the Board was impressed with his proposal.
He hopes to be open by mid-November, starting with an open house first for the neighbors. Wren has obtained the necessary petition signatures for his liquor license and the Board viewed his enterprise favorably excepting any neighborhood resistance.
The Board approved the August minutes and the month-end Treasurer’s report. Kurtz reported on the new officer nominations proposed by the Executive Committee in their capacity as nominating committee: President – Bob Mahon Vice President – Catherine Forslund Secretary – Frank Driscole Treasurer – Kathleen Hamilton There may be some new nominees for the Board by the election at the October Board meeting.
