Summary

The council passed Resolution 2025-031 to permit open containers in assigned festival areas with wristbands and Chamber oversight, separated operator-license votes, approved two operator licenses, sent SD Minimart’s application back to Public Safety, and conditionally approved Eat at Joe’s mobile vendor.

Police Chief Raupp told the council the Fire & Ice Festival received a Temporary Class B license and recommended the council adopt Resolution 2025-031 to allow open containers from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. in designated areas, overseen by the Chamber of Commerce and monitored by police officers with wristband identification. Alderperson Baxter moved to approve the resolution; Naramore seconded and the motion carried with all ayes.

During consent-agenda discussion Chief Raupp raised background-check and residency issues for operator-license applicants. The council moved to separate licenses and permits for individual action. Council approved operator licenses for Achilles Fowler (Dollar General) and Sky Johnston (KwikTrip); SD Minimart (applicant Singh Ramandeep) was referred back to the Public Safety Committee for further review. The mobile food vendor Eat at Joe’s was approved provided the person turning in the permit is not the driver.

Council minutes record motions, seconds and unanimous 'ayes' for the open-container resolution and the listed license outcomes.
