Committee recommends allowing alcohol at Lincoln Parish Library Events Center; jury approved committee minutes with a split vote
Summary
The Public Property & Buildings Committee recommended amending the Code of Ordinances (Section 4-7) to permit possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages at the Library Events Center under approved policies; the Jury approved the committee minutes with a 7–4 vote, while four jurors recorded NAY votes.
Milton Melton told the Jury that the Public Property and Buildings Committee recommends amending Code of Ordinances Section 4-7 to permit the possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages at the Library Events Center in accordance with Events Center Policies and Rules approved by the Lincoln Parish Police Jury. The committee's recommendation was recorded in the committee minutes.
The Jury approved the Public Property and Buildings Committee minutes (motion by Milton Melton, seconded by Annette Straughter). The recorded vote on approving the committee minutes was split: YEAS—Lord, Cranford, Hunt, Pullin, Garriga, Melton, and Straughter; NAYS—Williams, Ludley, Scriber, and Richards. The minutes contain the recommendation but the record does not show the Jury taking a separate final vote at that meeting to amend the Code of Ordinances itself.
