Kevin-

You requested a "list of current entertainment licenses as of April 1,
2022. . . " The P&Z Department has no such list of current licenses as of
April 1, 2022, and thus has no responsive documents.

Sincerely,

Dianne Rosemark

This is a follow up to a previous request:

Mary,
According to the Danbury Code of Ordinances, 26-50 states that "An
application is required to be submitted to and approved by the City to
provide entertainment in all establishments." (DRZ)
It continues to state "A license shall be valid for three (3) years from
the date of issuance unless there is a change in the licensee, in which
case a new application shall be submitted, including payment of all fees,
and approved prior to the commencement of any applicable activity after the
change; or the license is revoked pursuant to section 26-47."

I do not understand how there can be no responsive documents. I would like
to know what licenses are in force.

Regards,
Kevin Paige

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform
