The Carbondale Local Liquor Control Commission approved the minutes of its Dec. 11, 2024 meeting and voted to grant an on‑premises secondary‑use restaurant liquor license to Yon Buffet Incorporated for its East Main Street restaurant, contingent on the applicant providing outstanding documentation and items.

City staff presented Item 3.1 — approval of the Dec. 11, 2024 minutes — and recommended approval. Commissioner Gilman moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Doherty seconded. A roll call vote recorded unanimous “yes” votes from Commissioners Maxwell, Ry Sanders, Doherty, Hill, Killman, Lowes and Chairperson Harvey.

On Item 3.2, staff described the Yon Buffet Incorporated application for an on‑premises secondary‑use restaurant liquor license with a catering rider for the business operating at East Main Street. City staff told commissioners that the $100 application fee has been paid and that the criminal history check did not reveal any issue that would preclude issuance; other required documents remained outstanding. The staff recommendation was to approve the license contingent on receipt of all outstanding items.

Commissioner Rais Anders moved to approve issuance of the license contingent on receipt of outstanding items; Commissioner Hill seconded. The commission conducted a roll call and recorded unanimous “yes” votes from Commissioners Maxwell, Ry Sanders, Doherty, Hill, Killman, Lowes and Chairperson Harvey. The license was approved subject to the outstanding documentation being supplied.

The commission did not record additional conditions or legal thresholds beyond the contingency for outstanding items. After the vote, Chairperson Harvey adjourned the liquor commission meeting and signaled the council meeting would begin shortly.
