Summary

After a needs-and-desires hearing with no public opposition, council voted unanimously Nov. 5 to direct the city attorney to draft findings consistent with granting a hotel-and-restaurant liquor license to Mom and Pops Country Kitchen to serve individual bottles/cans of beer.

Alamosa City Council heard an applicant from Mom and Pops Country Kitchen Nov. 5 seeking a hotel-and-restaurant liquor license to sell individual servings of beer. Applicant Holly Johnson said her establishment historically had alcohol in the building, plans to serve only individual beer servings, and does not intend to offer open kegs or hard liquor.

The council opened a needs-and-desires hearing and heard no members of the public in person or on Zoom. Council discussion included encouraging the applicant to ensure staff complete TIPS (or similar) responsible-service training to prevent sales to minors.

Councilor Krebs said he supported helping small businesses offer alcohol responsibly; Councilor (hearing officer) asked the clerk to confirm proper notice and posting. After questions about the posting and the building's prior license status, Councilor (motion) moved to direct the city attorney to prepare findings consistent with granting the license. The motion passed unanimously.

The city attorney will prepare findings and a written decision for council consideration, and staff recommended the applicant maintain staff alcohol-service training.
