Council reappoints volunteers, approves seasonal vendor and event licenses

The Coventry Town Council approved multiple appointments and license items in a single consent-style sequence.

Appointments: Allison Albert was appointed as an alternate member of the Coventry Historic Preservation Commission; Moren Jenzik was reappointed to the Coventry Housing Authority; Mark Lamoy was reappointed to the Puxa River Authority. Planning-board reappointments included Michael Burke and Richard Coloonian; zoning-board reappointments included Ross Pellet, Heath Galloway and Ronald Pelleter. Each nomination was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

Licenses: The council approved two short-term hawker/vendor (fireworks) licenses for American Promotional Events (TNT Fireworks at 650 Center New England Boulevard, June 26–July 5) and Pyro Technico (40 Reservoir Road for the summer festival); both vendors confirmed insurance and fire-department coordination. The council also approved a liquor and raffle license and waived the fee for the longstanding OLC festival, after applicant Harry Larson described this year’s single-day event.

Council thanked volunteers and event organizers and moved on to other business. Most actions were approved by voice vote; roll-call votes were used later in the meeting for separate impact-fee resolutions.
