Commission calls for countywide referendum on on‑premises alcohol sales
Summary
Dickson County Commissioners voted unanimously to call a referendum under T.C.A. § 57‑4‑103 to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption on premises in the county.
Dickson County Commissioners on June 24 voted unanimously to place a countywide referendum on the question of permitting the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises.
Resolution 06‑2024‑04 cites Tennessee Code Annotated § 57‑4‑103 and was moved by Commissioner Danny Williams and seconded by Commissioner Rusty Grove. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
Why it matters: if approved by voters in the forthcoming referendum, the county’s regulations would change to permit on‑premises alcohol sales where such sales are currently restricted. The resolution formally authorizes the referendum question to be placed before qualified county voters.
The commission took the action without recorded opposition. The county clerk and election officials will administer the referendum according to state law and local election procedures; no referendum date was specified in the meeting minutes.
The meeting adjourned at 7:51 P.M.
