Columbiana council declines to request public hearing on D-5 liquor license transfer
Summary
Council voted not to request an administrative public hearing in Lisbon on a D-5 liquor license transfer for a Village Plaza business; the motion to request the hearing failed on a roll call with majority 'No' votes.
The Columbiana City Council decided March 17 not to request a public hearing with the Ohio Division of Liquor Control regarding a proposed transfer of a D-5 liquor license for 1118 Village Plaza (from Joseph Benedict to Lady Raider CPT LLC).
Councilmembers moved and seconded a motion that was clarified as "requesting a public hearing in Lisbon." After clarification from a councilmember, the roll call recorded multiple "No" votes; the council's vote on the motion therefore failed and the council did not request the administrative hearing.
The motion's purpose (to request a hearing) and the mechanics of the vote were discussed briefly at the dais; no public testimony or additional findings about the license transfer were recorded at the meeting. The action is procedural: the Ohio Division of Liquor Control retains authority over licensing and any subsequent hearing processes.
Outcome: Motion to request a hearing — failed (roll call recorded majority 'No').
