Council gives positive recommendation for Walmart liquor manager change after applicant outlines controls
Summary
Keith Stoney, the proposed new manager for Walmart’s liquor license, described ID policies, planned ID‑scanning technology and gated liquor-area controls; the council voted to give a positive recommendation to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission.
Council considered a manager-change amendment naming Keith Stoney as the liquor-license manager for Walmart (license number given in the packet). Stoney said he has about 20 years of store-management experience and previously held a liquor-license role in Kansas. He told the council the store IDs all customers, is installing ID‑scanning technology before year-end, and plans to enclose the liquor area with gates and a staffed call button during closed hours to reduce theft.
A councilmember asked whether the gates would block required means of egress; Stoney said they would not and that exits would remain accessible. The chief of police (or fire chief reference) offered no concerns in the record. The council moved and approved a positive recommendation to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission for the manager change.
