During a recent government meeting, officials discussed several amendments related to local regulations and community improvements. One key topic was the adjustment of the boundary map, which has now been set to 106. Additionally, the hours for certain activities were amended to end at 11 PM. The council also proposed adding more trash and recycling receptacles to enhance sanitation in the area, aligning with the existing aesthetic.

The conversation shifted to the Downtown Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) program. Some council members expressed concerns about the lack of awareness among local business owners regarding the program's implications. One member noted that many license holders were not informed about the changes, leading to confusion and potential negative impacts on their businesses.

A significant point of contention arose around the rules governing the consumption of alcohol in designated areas. There was a debate about whether patrons could carry drinks from one establishment to another. Some members argued that the current language in the regulations was unclear and needed clarification. It was emphasized that designated permittees must display signs indicating whether customers can enter their premises with open containers of alcohol.

The meeting highlighted the need for better communication with local businesses and clearer regulations to ensure everyone understands the rules surrounding the DORA program. The council plans to refine the language in the regulations to avoid further misunderstandings and to support local businesses effectively.
