Committee hears that clerk’s office lacks direct tracking for alcohol sales hours; applicant offers POS receipts
Summary
Alderman Seville asked how the city tracks alcohol sales at 24-hour stations; City Clerk Jennifer Stallings said the office relies on businesses and police, while applicant Mohammed Mohsen offered to provide POS receipts or inspection records on request.
During questioning about enforcement for 24-hour stations, Alderman Seville asked whether staff could readily determine whether a business sold alcohol outside allowed hours. City Clerk Jennifer Stallings replied, "we don't necessarily have the means to do that," saying the clerk's office relies on businesses to provide their hours and on the police department to pursue violations.
Applicant Mohammed Mohsen responded that the business can make point-of-sale reports or receipts available to inspectors or police. "If anytime the inspector comes in, we have the POS reports... we are happy to provide any of the receipts to the police department," he said. The exchange clarified that administrative verification of hour compliance is not currently an automated function of the clerk's office and would depend on inspections or police follow-up.
