Pittsburg County EDA discusses alcohol sales at expo, considers vendor bidding options
Summary
Trustees approved routine agenda items and claims at their April 20 meeting and held a preliminary discussion about permitting alcohol sales at upcoming expo events, noting that a licensed mobile vendor and a bidding process could be required; no formal decision was made.
The Pittsburg County Economic Development Authority on April 20 approved its agenda, the minutes of the April 13 meeting and the day's claims, then briefly discussed whether alcohol sales should be allowed at upcoming expo events.
Chairman Ross Selman called the meeting to order and led a unanimous vote to approve the agenda after Trustee Mike Haynes moved to adopt it and Trustee Charlie Rogers seconded the motion. The board likewise approved the prior meeting minutes and acknowledged fiscal claims for the Economic Development Trust account.
The most substantive discussion arose under new business. Selman said "Lauren" had asked about permitting alcohol sales at expo events. Trustee Mike Haynes said that Canadian County solicits competitive bids for concession services and that any vendor selling alcohol would need to hold a mobile alcohol license. Board members discussed options for bidding the service and for ensuring any vendor met licensing requirements, but did not take a formal vote or adopt a policy at the meeting.
