Council adds and considers four CorrCom liquor-license applications for ULM concessions
Summary
The Monroe City Council on Sept. 9 added four Class A alcoholic beverage permit applications from Correct Commissary LLC d/b/a CorrCom, citing ULM's concession transition; the applications were placed for consideration after staff confirmed background and distance checks cleared. Final licensing status was not specified on the record.
The Monroe City Council on Sept. 9 voted to add and consider four Class A alcoholic beverage permit applications submitted by Correct Commissary LLC d/b/a CorrCom for concession operations at the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM).
The items were added to the agenda by motion of Mrs. Ezernack and passed unanimously after discussion about the late filing and the urgency of upcoming ULM events. Tax & Revenue Director Tim Lewis said background checks and distance reports were cleared and sales tax status was approved. "A new catering company took over, submitting paperwork after the deadline," Lewis said, explaining the late filing.
Kevin Sumrall, who spoke for CorrCom, told the council the company had entered into an agreement with ULM to provide concessions and asked for the council's support. Chairman McFarland asked whether alcohol had been sold at the first game; Sumrall said Aramark handled the first game and would maintain the existing license until it expires. City Attorney Brandon Creekbaum clarified Aramark will maintain the current license until expiration, while CorrCom seeks its own license for upcoming events.
Why it matters: The licenses affect concessions at ULM athletic events, including upcoming homecoming. Councilmembers signaled deference to district concerns and university scheduling when deciding to allow the late application to be considered.
Outcome: The council approved adding the items to the agenda and considered the applications; the record does not show a final approval or denial of the liquor permits during this meeting.
