The City Council Committee on Ordinances, Licenses, and Legal Affairs convened on February 13, 2025, to discuss the granting of licenses for secondhand clothing and valuables. The meeting took place in the City Council Chambers located at 90 Washington Street, Salem, Massachusetts, with in-person attendance as the primary method for public access.

During the meeting, two specific items were on the agenda: a license for Refined, a secondhand clothing store at 72 Washington Street, and a license for Second Chance Video Games, located at 10 Colonial Road. Councilor Cohen initiated the discussion by proposing that both licenses be granted. The motion received a second from Councilor Morrison, and after a brief discussion, the committee voted unanimously in favor of granting the licenses.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which was also passed without opposition. This session marks a step forward in supporting local businesses in Salem by facilitating the licensing process for secondhand retailers.
