Summary
At its regular meeting, the McMinnville City Board of Mayor and Aldermen gave unanimous first-reading approval to Ordinance No. 2026-03, which moves alcoholic beverage permitting responsibilities from the recorder's office to the community development department and updates related code language.
Mayor Chastain called the board to order at 7:00 p.m. and the body took up Ordinance No. 2026-03, described as an amendment to Title 8 of the McMinnville Municipal Code regarding alcoholic beverages.
A speaker summarized that the ordinance shifts responsibility for alcoholic-beverage permitting from the recorder's office to the community development department and replaces references to the "recorder" in sections 1'4 with either the alcoholic beverage board or the city. Mr. Steve Harvey moved to approve the ordinance on its first reading; Ms. Rachel Kirby seconded.
The board approved the first reading by roll call: Sally Brock ' yes; Der/Dietra Dunlap ' yes; Steve Harvey ' yes; Rachel Kirby ' yes; Carrie Morton ' yes; Mayor Chastain ' yes. The motion passed. This action records the ordinance's first reading; further consideration or a second reading will be required before final adoption.
The ordinance text, as introduced, amends sections of Title 8 to change which city office or body is referenced for permitting; no implementation timeline or effective date beyond the ordinance language was provided during the meeting.
