City administration recommends objecting to Dollar General liquor permit application on health-department concerns
Summary
The city law director reported that city administration will object to a liquor permit application submitted by Dolgen Midwest LLC (Dollar General) for its Fair Grove location, based on health-department concerns; the permit would allow carry-out beer sales until 1 a.m.
Leticia Block, Hamilton’s director of law, told council that the city clerk received notice of a new liquor permit application from Dolgen Midwest LLC, doing business as Dollar General on Fair Grove, and that city administration is recommending an objection to the permit based on findings from the city health department.
Block explained the process: applications received by the Ohio Division of Liquor Control are circulated internally to police, fire, building and health departments; the health department flagged multiple concerns at this property and the administration recommended filing an objection with the Division of Liquor Control. The license type cited in Block’s presentation permits carry-out beer sales until 1 a.m., she said.
Block asked if there were questions; council did not take a public roll call vote on the objection during this meeting. The city clerk will follow the administrative process and submit an objection as recommended by city administration.
Why it matters: The city’s objection will be part of the administrative record considered by the Ohio Division of Liquor Control; the health department’s findings were not discussed in detail on the record during the council meeting.
