City Council has passed the following for licensing and permits:

Extension of Sidewalk Café Permit Expiration Date and Extension of Reforms
All current Sidewalk Café Permits will be considered active through May 31, 2021 and businesses with a Sidewalk Café Permit can operate their current Sidewalk Cafes until that date without renewing.
