Council tables alcohol‑license ordinance after local businesses request changes
Summary
Ordinance 855, proposing a Retail (On‑Sale) Liquor license for restaurants that derive at least 60% of revenue from food sales, was reviewed but tabled after current license holders requested removal of certain holiday restrictions; council voted 6-0 to table the ordinance pending revisions.
The council reviewed Ordinance 855, which would establish a new Retail (On‑Sale) Liquor license for restaurants that demonstrate at least 60% of gross revenue from food sales. Representatives of current license holders attended the meeting and asked that restrictions on Memorial Day, Sundays and Christmas Day be removed to align with state regulations.
After discussion and requested edits, the council moved to table the first reading of Ordinance 855 until the proposed changes are incorporated; the motion carried 6‑0. The minutes do not record individual business names commenting during the discussion beyond noting that current license holders attended and addressed the council.
