Summary
The board unanimously amended Chapter 6 of the county's Alcoholic Beverage Ordinance to shorten the application deadline for temporary special-event licenses from 60 to 30 days prior to the event.
The Candler County Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 on Jan. 20 to amend Chapter 6 of the county’s Alcoholic Beverage Ordinance, shortening the application deadline for temporary special-event alcohol permits from 60 days to 30 days before the event.
Administrator Bryan Aasheim introduced the proposed amendment, explaining the change to the temporary license timing that the board had created in 2020. Chairman Brad Jones moved to approve the amendment; Vice-Chairman Blake Hendrix seconded and the motion carried with a unanimous vote.
An exhibit attached to the meeting materials (Exhibit B) shows the amendment language. The board did not record additional criteria or changes to other sections beyond reducing the advance-application period.
The change takes effect as recorded in the board’s adopted ordinance and will alter the county’s timeline for event planners seeking temporary alcohol licenses.
Questions about implementation, payment or processing timelines were not detailed at the meeting; staff or applicants seeking clarification are directed to the county clerk’s office.
