Board approves alcohol permit, fee waiver for banquet and county newspaper ad
Summary
Supervisors approved a temporary alcohol permit for a quinceañera at the Washington Convention Center with one dissenting vote, waived facility fees for a community banquet in December, and authorized a $895 full-page annual ad in the county welcome guide.
The board considered several community requests and approvals in public comment and consent items.
Sandra Williamson requested permission to serve alcoholic beverages at the Washington Convention Center for a quinceañera celebration. A motion to permit alcohol service passed with one recorded nay; the board advised Williamson to coordinate required documentation with the sheriff’s office and the convention center.
Supervisors also approved waiving facility fees for the Washington annual banquet scheduled for December 7; the board asked the organizer to coordinate required paperwork with the sheriff’s department.
Catherine Shamoon requested funding to continue a full-page annual advertisement in the Washington County welcome guide. The board approved the standard $895 ad for distribution to welcome centers and other outlets to promote tourism and business recruitment.
Why it matters: the decisions authorize local events and support promotion of county businesses and tourism. Supervisors emphasized compliance with sheriff’s office requirements for events involving alcohol.
