Commissioners direct staff to place local 'brunch bill' referendum on November ballot
Summary
Troup County commissioners asked the county manager and staff to prepare a resolution asking the Board of Elections to place a local 'brunch bill' (allowing sale of drinks by the glass) on the Nov. 4 ballot; the board agreed to revisit the item in August.
The Troup County Board of Commissioners voted to ask county staff to prepare a resolution seeking to place a local 'brunch bill' referendum on the November ballot, aligning the vote with the city of LaGrange's election schedule. The county manager told the board that staff would return with more detail in August; commissioners discussed sending the resolution to the Board of Elections so the referendum can be called for Nov. 4.
County Manager (speaking to commissioners) said staff would work on a resolution and return in August. "This morning, we discussed the brunch bill resolution...Tonight, we would ask the board if county manager to work on a resolution," the manager said. Commissioners recorded no public opposition during the discussion and the motion to request the election carried with no roll-call tally provided. The board noted the item will be revisited on August 19 to firm details and timing.
