Brewton City Council OKs Marathon liquor license after ownership change
Summary
The Brewton City Council approved Resolution 26-0810-1 to grant a liquor license to the Marathon station buying the Chevron site; city staff noted the state Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) requires a new license for ownership changes and the business may operate under its prior license until approval.
The Brewton City Council approved a new liquor license for the Marathon station purchasing the Chevron site, adopting Resolution 26-0810-1.
Mayor Osterholm opened the public hearing on the transfer and asked whether anyone wished to speak for or against the license. No members of the public spoke during the hearing, and councilors moved and seconded the measure. Miss Harden explained the licensing requirement, saying, "ABC requires that to change ownership, you have to get a new license," and added, "But they are operating still under their current license until this is approved." The council thereafter approved the resolution.
The action formalizes approval of the liquor license under the new ownership; the transcript does not record a roll-call vote tally or the mover/second by name. Any outstanding conditions from the state ABC process were not specified during the council discussion. The council also handled the matter as part of routine business on the agenda and proceeded to the next item after announcing approval.
