Commission approves 2025 cereal malt beverage license for Ottawa Golf Course
Summary
The commission approved a 2025 on‑premise cereal malt beverage (CMB) application for the Ottawa Golf Course after the city clerk reported the application had police and city‑attorney review and a Kansas Bureau of Investigation background check; the fee structure and statutory references were presented by the city clerk.
The Ottawa City Commission voted Jan. 8 to approve a 2025 on‑premise cereal malt beverage (CMB) license for the Ottawa Golf Course, City Clerk Reed told the commission.
Clerk's report and legal references: Reed said CMB is defined by KSA 41‑2701 and amendments and that the application had been reviewed and approved by the police department and the city attorney; a Kansas Bureau of Investigation background check was performed. Reed also said financial considerations follow municipal code section 4‑3‑10 and ordinance 4016‑19 and reported the total license fee as stated in the application packet.
Ownership and licensing context: Reed explained the application was required because ownership of the golf course changed and the previous license had terminated; the city commission is the final step for issuance after departmental review.
Commission action: A motion to approve the 2025 cereal malt beverage license for the Ottawa Golf Course passed on a roll call vote with recorded yes votes from Mayor Pro Tem Clayton, Commissioner Skidmore, Commissioner Kahler, Commissioner Crowley and Mayor Allen. The clerk had recommended approval and offered to refer the application to a future meeting if the commission preferred further deliberation.
No additional conditions or restrictions were recorded in the meeting discussion; the clerk said the license includes established municipal fees and the state stamp fee noted in the packet.
