“called for a motion to close the hearing. Ms. Scott Price: So moved Second: Mr. Brown Mr. Brown clarified that the Board was now considering 10:00 for outside entertainment and 11:00 for inside, even on Sunday. In response, Mr. Norton said he was not requesting to amend the inside entertainment. He said 12:30 a.m. for New Year's and wedding parties is needed, but he would use due diligence to assure that windows and doors are all closed. He said the earlier hours would be a drastic change to his business. He said he would give neighbors his cell number. Mr. Brown said that 12:30 is pretty standard for this type of business. But 10:00 for outside. Mr. Zylinski said that the details can all be monitored for compliance. Vote: Yes - 5 No - 0.” (Motion: Price, second: Brown)
