Cordele City Commission approves alcohol license for El Garosal restaurant
Summary
At a called meeting May 26, the Cordele City Commission voted to approve a new alcohol license for El Garosal restaurant, following an administrative approval by Chief Hicks on May 12; the meeting opened with a prayer and closed after routine motions to approve the agenda and adjourn.
CORD ELE, Ga. — The Cordele City Commission voted May 26 to approve a new alcohol license for El Garosal restaurant during a called meeting that opened at 8:30 a.m.
The commission moved quickly through a short agenda. After an invocation delivered by Brother Rick Smalls and the Pledge of Allegiance led by Commissioner Sheriff, a commissioner moved to approve the day’s agenda; another commissioner seconded and the commission voted in favor.
The presiding official then introduced an agenda item to “consider and approve” a new alcohol license that Chief Hicks had administratively approved on May 12 for El Garosal restaurant. A commissioner moved to approve the license, another commissioner seconded, and the commission voted to approve the motion. The transcript records the motion as “I move that we approve it.” Details of any license conditions, type of alcohol authority, hours, or specific restrictions were not specified in the record.
Brother Rick Smalls’ invocation asked for support for “a young man named Jace” who is preparing for chemotherapy and asked that the commission be guided in its decisions. "We pray for healing in this young man's life," he said.
With no further business, a commissioner moved to adjourn and the meeting ended shortly after the votes were recorded.
The transcript does not record roll-call vote totals or attribute the individual votes to named commissioners beyond Commissioner Sheriff leading the pledge; chief administrative approval of the license by Chief Hicks on May 12 was noted but Chief Hicks did not speak during the called meeting.
Next steps: the record shows the license was approved at the meeting; any further administrative filings or public-notice steps required for the license were not specified in the transcript.
