Summary

The Committee of the Whole placed an ordinance on next week’s council agenda to create a special-event liquor license for the Macomb Heritage Days festival at Chandler Park; aldermen signaled support and urged staff talks with the mayor and liquor commissioner on process improvements for family venues.

The Macomb Committee of the Whole voted to place an ordinance on next week’s City Council agenda that would create a special-event liquor license for the Macomb Heritage Days Festival at Chandler Park, 148 East Carroll Street (date in the record: "June 20 seventh 2006").

Alderman Shipp spoke in support of the measure and urged broader discussion with the mayor and the liquor commissioner about streamlining the process and making family venues easier to permit. "I just wanted to underscore a comment that doctor Hemingway made last week... I hope that we move ahead with some discussion with the mayor and the liquor commissioner on... opportunities to expand to make things a little bit easier for people," the alderman said.

Alderman Tristan likewise voiced support for re-examining the process. The ordinance previously had its first reading on March 16 and received additional discussion on March 23; the committee did not take final action and moved the item to the full council agenda for formal consideration.

If adopted by the council, the license would authorize alcohol service for the listed festival at the stated location. The committee did not vote on the ordinance itself; it only advanced the item for council consideration.
