Council recommends approval of Viking Inn liquor license application to OLCC
Summary
The council voted to recommend approval of an OLCC liquor license application for the Viking Inn, including indoor and outdoor consumption on the premises, after the police chief reported no enforcement concerns.
The Junction City Council voted unanimously to recommend approval of a liquor‑license application for the Viking Inn to the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC). Police staff reviewed the application and reported no major history of overserving or enforcement issues tied to the business.
Why it matters: The recommendation is advisory to the OLCC; the council’s action communicates local support for the retailer’s request to permit on‑premise retail consumption, including outdoor service areas described in the application.
Chief of Police reviewed the application and said it appeared to reflect both indoor and outdoor on‑premise sales and that he had no objection to the OLCC having the correct premise information. Councilor Seneca moved the recommendation; Councilor Weishman seconded the motion and the council voted yes on the recommendation.
