Medina aldermen approve first reading to replace beer-sale rules in municipal code
Summary
The Medina Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved first reading of an ordinance to repeal and replace Title 8, Chapter 2 of the Medina Municipal Code governing the sale of beer; the vote was unanimous 4-0. The measure will return for further consideration before a final vote.
The Medina Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Oct. 2 approved the first reading of an ordinance to repeal and replace Title 8, Chapter 2 of the Medina Municipal Code, which governs the sale of beer in the city.
Alderman Kevin Painter moved to approve the first reading of the ordinance amending Ordinance 25-05; Alderman Andrew Rhodes seconded. The motion passed 4-0. Mayor Scottie Betts and Aldermen Kevin Painter, Andrew Rhodes and Marc Murdaugh voted yes; Angi Mathenia was absent.
The ordinance was described on the meeting agenda as a repeal of Ordinance 25-05 and adoption of a new Title 8, Chapter 2 related to beer sales. The board recorded the result as a first reading; no final adoption occurred at this meeting. No public comment was recorded on the ordinance during the meeting minutes.
Why it matters: changes to the municipal code governing alcohol sales can affect where and how businesses sell beer within city limits, including hours, licensing requirements and location restrictions. The board did not provide detailed amendments in the minutes; the ordinance title and the first-reading vote were recorded, and the item will return for subsequent readings or final action.
Next steps: the matter will return to the board for further consideration and a final vote at a later meeting. The minutes show the board acted on first reading only; staff or council materials that provide specific textual changes to Title 8, Chapter 2 were not included in the minutes.
