Council approves ordinance removing fixed dollar amounts from licensing language
Summary
On third reading the council approved an ordinance that removes specific dollar amounts from licensing‑fee language so fee schedules can be updated administratively, a technical change intended to avoid future ordinance amendments.
Council held the third reading and approved ordinance 2026‑09, which removes specific dollar amounts from licensing‑fee language for retail, restaurant and bar and grill licenses so the town can adjust fee figures administratively without amending the ordinance.
"We have changed the ordinance to not include the specific fee amount because as we go through the years, we don't wanna always have to redo the ordinance," a councilmember said during the third‑reading presentation. The council voted by voice to approve the amendment, and the mayor announced the ordinance was adopted.
Why it matters: The change is procedural and administrative in nature; it allows the town to update fee schedules without repeatedly amending the municipal code.
