Council to seek ABCA, state highway and police input; committee to file report
Summary
The committee agreed staff will contact the ABCA for formal interpretation, call the state highway authority about bollards/right-of-way permissions, and invite the police chief to assess safety and staffing; staff will submit a committee report and bring recommended ordinance language back to the council in a future meeting.
Members concluded by assigning follow-up tasks: Stephanie will call ABCA to clarify licensing details and municipal responsibilities, staff will contact the state highway authority about bollard installation in the right-of-way, and the chair will invite the police chief to review safety and operational implications. Chair said he will draft and submit a short committee report to place the item on a future agenda.
The committee agreed to draft POTA and outdoor-dining language in tandem so the two instruments do not conflict, and to revisit the issue after receiving state feedback and chief input—likely in early October if timelines permit.
