Summary

The council voted to move an ordinance to second reading that would reclassify Judy's Kitchen LLC at 51 N. Prairie Street to allow on-site sales and packaged retail liquor sales; staff estimated annual revenue at about $2,850.

City staff presented an ordinance (25-1015) to change Judy's Kitchen LLC's liquor license from a Class D restaurant license to a Class A/1 bar/tavern license, which would permit packaged retail sales in addition to on-site consumption. "The change would allow the business to sell packaged liquor at retail in addition to on-site consumption," staff said, and measured the expected annual revenue from the license change at $2,850.

Council member White moved to advance the ordinance to second reading and the motion was seconded and approved; the council also voted to allow discussion at the second reading. No substantive objections were raised at first reading. Staff noted Judy's Kitchen plans to collaborate with a local brewer for a signature product and that representatives were present to answer questions at the second reading if council desired.
