That concludes our Second and Final Passage 39 APPLICATIONS Calendar. We will now take up the consideration of applications for take-out beer permits under Act 39. There are approximately 45 applications that must be considered at today's session of Council. Again, I'm going to say as I did last week, if no action is taken on those applications today, they will be deemed approved under the provision of Act 39 that requires Council to act within 45 days of the date of the application. We have distributed to each of you in advance of today's session a copy of the Hearing Examiner's recommendation on each application, as well as transcripts of the hearings. Following the procedure discussed in caucus today, we will briefly recess this Council session and go into an Executive Session of Council in the Caucus Room. The purpose of the Executive Session will be to conduct 39 APPLICATIONS deliberations on the take-out beer permit applications. Only Councilmembers and staff will be permitted to attend the Executive Session. I repeat: Only Councilmembers and staff will be permitted to attend the Executive Session. At the completion of the Executive Session, this Council session will resume and we will then vote on the resolutions to approve or disapprove the applications. Council will now stand in recess for 30 minutes, and I would ask -I'm sorry. Councilman Clarke, I'm sorry, I didn't see your light on.
Yes. Madam President, I just wanted to ask one question to clarify my position as a Councilperson but also as a protestant on a substantial number of the resolutions that will be heard and my status in the Executive Session. Am I allowed to be in the room? 39 APPLICATIONS
It is my understanding that you could -- you are recusing yourself?
So you could literally walk out of the Caucus Room during the time your applications in your district are being considered, as I would have to do.
Are you saying that we must leave the room or we can leave the room?
There won't be anyone left in the room. 39 APPLICATIONS
Councilman, I am told you really don't have to, but it was recommended earlier to me that you should and you will have --
I know. Does that answer your question, Councilman?
It sounds like you're saying that I probably should return some of the phone calls that I got in my office.
It sounds like you're saying I probably should return some of the phone calls that I have in my office while the Council is deliberating in the Chambers. It might be the best use of my time.
But 39 APPLICATIONS you would still have to be there for the other applications.
Then may I suggest that we go immediately into the Caucus Room. (Short recess.)
