Board clears conditional renewal for Popeye's #853, will release findings to business and law department

The Hammond Board of Public Works and Safety indicated on Sept. 17 that it was ready to release its findings and approve renewal of the business license for Popeye's Chicken #853 conditional on the establishment meeting the conditions in those findings.

The chair said the matter had been taken under advisement after the last meeting and that the board was ready to release its findings and approve the license "as long as the conditions in our findings are met." A copy of the board's findings was to be provided to Popeye's and to the law department immediately after the meeting. The board approved the conditional renewal on a voice vote.

The transcript does not record the specific conditions in the board's findings; staff said a copy of the findings would be provided to the business and law department for follow-up.
