Austintown trustees vote against hearing on liquor permit for California Palms

Monday, September 14, 2015

AUSTINTOWN — In a 2-1 vote, township trustees voted not to have a hearing on a liquor permit at California Palms Hotel and Suites.

Trustees Jim Davis and Ken Carano voted tonight to not have a liquor hearing for the Fifth Season Inc. doing business as The Fifth Season at California Palms Hotel, 1051 N. Canfield-Niles Road. Trustee Rick Stauffer voted to have a hearing.

Before the vote was taken, police Chief Robert Gavalier voiced his objection to the permit. California Palms sits at the corner of North Canfield-Niles Road and 5455 Clarkins Drive, which formerly housed the Go Go Girls Cabaret years ago.

“I don’t object to the owner of the Fifth Season. I don’t have anything against him. I just object to the location,” Gavalier said.
