Powell council approves Hayloft liquor license, clears renewals and routine measures
Summary
Powell City Council approved a new restaurant liquor license for 307 Industries (doing business as Hayloft), signed off on several liquor-license renewals and routine budget and administrative items, and heard a chief’s update on two prior infractions and server‑training requirements.
Powell City Council approved a new restaurant liquor license for 307 Industries, doing business as Hayloft, after applicants introduced plans for a breakfast‑and‑lunch restaurant at 117 Bent Street and said they hope to open around Dec. 1.
Megan Jones, who identified herself as one of the applicants, said the business will start with daily hours roughly 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and reduced hours on Sundays, and that they are applying for a restaurant liquor license to support on‑premises sales and occasional private events. “My name is Megan Jones,” she told the council when asked to introduce herself.
Councilor (speaker 4) moved to approve the new liquor license; the motion carried by voice vote. The council also approved the applicant’s pending renewal so the license would be active before the planned opening.
Why it matters: the approval lets a new local business begin alcohol service alongside its stated breakfast‑and‑lunch offering, a change that can affect neighborhood traffic, food service options and compliance obligations for the licensee.
Council also handled several routine items in the same meeting: the agenda and minutes were adopted, bills and claims were approved, and council voted to authorize a budget amendment related to the golf course. The chief reported two prior liquor‑related infractions in the last year and confirmed that TIPS/server training is in effect and required.
Votes at a glance: • Agenda approved — voice vote: carried. • Minutes (Nov. 3, 2025) approved — voice vote: carried. • Pay bills and claims — voice vote: carried. (Transcript records two differing amounts during discussion: $583,868.76 and $584,468.76; the record does not reconcile the discrepancy.) • New restaurant liquor license for 307 Industries (Hayloft) — approved, voice vote. • Renewal for 307 Industries — approved, voice vote. • Budget amendment (Resolution No. 13, 2025) for golf course capital funds ($51,982) — approved, voice vote.
The council also briefly discussed license‑enforcement follow‑up and staff training; the chief described the reimbursement agreement for a drug‑recognition training program separately in the meeting.
