Fleming County officials agree to draft ordinance, interlocal agreement to administer alcohol licensing
Summary
Fleming County Fiscal Court agreed Dec. 2 to pursue local administration of alcoholic beverage control licensing, directing County Attorney Monica Hill to draft a county ordinance, a joint interlocal agreement with the City of Flemingsburg and related contracts; the first reading is set for Dec. 8.
Fleming County Judge/Executive Larry H. Foxworthy convened a Dec. 2 special meeting in Flemingsburg where the Fiscal Court agreed to move forward on locally administering alcoholic beverage control (ABC) licensing for the county and the city.
County Attorney Monica Hill was directed to draft a proposed county ordinance, a resolution, a Joint Interlocal Agreement with the City of Flemingsburg and a contract for services to implement local licensing, collection of regulatory fees and appointment of a local ABC administrator. The court discussed regulatory fees, restrictions on the use of those fees, administrator duties, permitted hours for alcohol sales and enforcement mechanisms with Mayor Bobby Money, City of Flemingsburg Chief of Police Brian Bowling and retired Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control Officer Becky Bowling.
The actions set a timetable: the first reading of the proposed county ordinance is scheduled for the regular Fiscal Court meeting on Dec. 8, 2020 at 9:00 a.m., and a tentative second reading and passage is scheduled for Dec. 23, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. The minutes record a unanimous vote on a motion moved by Magistrate Ray H. Money and seconded by Magistrate James Smoot; the minutes do not specify the exact text of that motion or give a roll-call tally.
The court also recorded that a motion to adjourn was made at 7:10 p.m. and the minutes end with a one-page record of the meeting. Next steps are the formal drafting of the ordinance, interlocal agreement and contract by County Attorney Hill and the scheduled readings in December.
