Summary

Ordinance 15-43 was advanced to a second reading to allow existing liquor-license holders to obtain corresponding special daily licenses and to permit on-sale liquor for those holders in certain cases.

Vermillion City Council advanced Ordinance 15-43 on Oct. 20, a zoning/code amendment affecting special daily alcohol licenses. The proposed change would allow current license holders to obtain corresponding special daily licenses (for example, malt-beverage license holders could obtain malt-beverage special dailies; liquor license holders could obtain special daily liquor licenses). The draft also allows on-sale liquor to be included in special daily permits for eligible license holders.

Staff reported the language was developed in consultation with current license holders at an October 7 meeting; staff recommended advancing the ordinance. Councilor Holland moved to advance the ordinance and Councilor Price seconded. The council voted by voice to advance the measure to a second reading.

Councilors noted the change applies only to existing license holders and would not extend the same privileges to charitable or single-event organizations that do not hold a qualifying base license.
