Grand Forks County Commission unanimously approves three liquor-license renewals

In a brief special meeting, the Grand Forks County Commission approved renewals for three liquor licenses that the transcript indicates expired that day. The businesses were identified as Rest and Relax LLC; Hitching Post Bar and Grill; and Grand Forks Country Club.

The action came after a motion from Jerry Means, who said, "Madam chair, I would make a motion to approve all 3." The chair confirmed there was a first and a second, and after a voice vote the chair said, "Motion passed unanimously." The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes or the exact number of commissioners voting.

The renewals were presented as routine: the chair noted the licenses expire that day and sought a motion to approve them so the businesses could continue operations. No public testimony, conditions on the approvals, or legal citations were recorded in the transcript.

After the vote the meeting moved to adjournment. Means then moved to adjourn; the chair again confirmed a first and a second, called for the ayes and stated the meeting was adjourned. The meeting concluded with brief closing salutations.

No date or formal agenda packet was included in the transcript, and no staff reports, objections, or discussion of compliance or fees appear in the record provided. The transcript contains short audio-check exchanges at the start and notes that one speaker rejoined from a car dealership location.
