Chair Criswell led the unanimous votes, which cleared Ward 2 City Councilor Richard Ashe's request for two park permits at Four River Field and Faxon Park, a Fan Noli Cultural Center permit for the Albanian Heritage Festival in Kilroy Square, and a new common victualer license for Emily's Breakfast and Lunch at 28 School Street under proposed manager Lisa Stewart. Grace Coffee owner Miranda Mackey won approval for two separate licenses, including a late addition for Coco Lane's rescheduled grand opening October 1.

The board also cleared permits for the Hospital Hill Neighborhood Association's block party and the Old Colony YMCA's charity wine-pouring gala, and accepted its September 15 minutes before adjourning.
