License board signs form finding no seasonal population increase; no seasonal licenses expected
Summary
City attorney told commissioners there is no seasonal population increase and staff presented a form for commissioners to sign; the board approved the administrative finding for 2026, meaning no seasonal alcohol licenses will be issued this year.
The Springfield Board of License Commissioners on Jan. 28 approved an administrative finding and signed a required form documenting that Springfield did not experience a seasonal population increase for 2026.
Attorney Smith told commissioners the data show no increase in population and "therefore, essentially, we don't do seasonal alcohol licenses." Staff said the form needs commissioner signatures; following a motion and second, commissioners voted to approve the form.
The action documents the board's determination for 2026; it is an administrative step rather than an authorization to issue seasonal licenses.
