Putnam County Board approves update to ordinance controlling sale of alcoholic beverages
Summary
The Putnam County Board approved Ordinance 2024-O-03, amending the county's decades-old ordinance regulating alcohol sales; the measure passed on a 5-0 roll-call vote and the clerk was directed to process the ordinance.
State Attorney Christina Judd Mennie presented Ordinance 2024-O-03, an amendment to the county's "Ordinance to Control The Sale of Alcoholic Beverages," and the Putnam County Board approved the change at its Oct. 15, 2024 meeting.
Board member Floyd Holocker moved to approve the ordinance and Tony Rue seconded; the motion carried on a roll-call vote of 5 ayes, 0 nays, and 0 absent. The Clerk was directed to process Ordinance 2024-O-03.
The clerk thanked the State's Attorney for undertaking the update, noting many counties have not revised their alcohol-sale ordinances in decades. The minutes list the ordinance amendment as "Ordinance 2024-O-03" and reference the existing ordinance as "Ordinance to Control The Sale of Alcoholic Beverages" (the minutes also include an internal numbering note that appears inconsistent: the line references "Ordinance No. 79-1" and later "78-1"). The board recorded no further questions on the item.
