Commission Approves Reserving Quota Class C Liquor License for Kentwood Community Center
Summary
The commission approved a resolution to reserve a quota Class C liquor license for the Kentwood Community Center but will continue to pursue alternate licensing options before formally using the quota license.
The Kentwood City Commission on June 3 approved a resolution to recommend reserving a quota Class C liquor license for the Kentwood Community Center while staff continues to explore alternative licensing options.
The resolution notes the city is actively investigating other avenues to secure a liquor license for the community center and that the quota license will not be formally pursued "until all alternate avenues have been exhausted." If staff secures a different license, the reserved quota license will remain available for another location in the city. The resolution passed on a roll‑call vote.
The commission framed the action as a protective measure to ensure a licensing option is available while exploring less restrictive or more convenient alternatives. Commissioners recorded yes votes during the roll‑call conducted after the motion.
The action directs staff to continue pursuing alternate licenses and to hold the quota license in reserve for the community center pending those efforts.
