She stated that the Irondale Boosters 19 <br />currently have their nonprofit status on file with the Gambling Control Board. She stated that 20 <br />staff recommended approval of this permit. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Mayor Marty stated that not asking for the permit earlier was an oversight by the Irondale 23 <br />Marching Band, and they had already advertised for the event and booked the Mermaid. He 24 <br />stated that holding the Special City Council meeting for this item was unusual in that special 25 <br />meetings were normally only held for emergency type situations. He stated that perhaps a special 26 <br />fee schedule should be adopted in case this ever happened again to cover costs. 27 <br /> 28 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Flaherty.
