ConcernedChristopher HannonMay 6, 2026

Co-owner of McGarvey's, he detailed the timeline: notice of intent to renew April 21, followed by a cancellation notice at 4:45 pm on May 1. He argued the city earns more from the leases than parking, the patios support about 20 jobs at McGarvey's alone, and the city would lose roughly half a million dollars over 15 years.

Hannon's business partner at McGarvey's; he deferred to Hannon for most testimony and confirmed at the end he had nothing to add.
