The Upson County Board of Commissioners on Nov. 25 approved an amendment to the county alcohol ordinance and adopted a resolution to set license fees for alcohol permits.
County staff said the ordinance changes were primarily housekeeping — removing obsolete language and clarifying the measurement provisions that previously caused enforcement issues. The board heard that a separate resolution would set the fees tied to license classes.
Commissioner Biggs moved to approve the ordinance amendment; Commissioner Elton seconded the motion and the board voted in favor. The board then considered Resolution 30.20.25, which establishes license fees for classes including malt beverage, package wine, wholesale dealer and retail consumption (pouring) licenses. Staff said the county compared fees to the city's framework and surrounding counties to set reasonable amounts. Commissioners voted to adopt the resolution.
The board did not discuss individual fee amounts at length in the public record beyond noting that some fee increases were involved and that one renewal application would not be renewed because the business had closed.
