Summary

Sergeant Mike Strack reported the Dry Town Tap Station change-of-ownership OLCC application shows no major complaints and recommended the council forward a recommendation in favor; council voted to do so by voice.

The Monmouth City Council voted Aug. 20 to forward a recommendation in favor of a liquor license for Dry Town Tap Station following a staff report from Sergeant Mike Strack.

Strack said the business is an established operator and the change in ownership prompted the new OLCC application. He told councilors he conducted a background review and found no major complaints related to the business’s prior operations. Strack noted the prospective new owners already work in the liquor industry as owners/operators of Ankeny Vineyards and that there are no proposed changes to the licensed operations.

“...the staff suggestion would be to, move in favor of approving the liquor license,” Strack said.

A councilor moved and a second was recorded. The council approved the motion by voice, and the clerk was directed to forward the recommendation to the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission for final licensing review.
