Ordinance first reading 6/1
An ordinance has been drafted to amend section 3-6 of the City Code. That section currently sets hours for liquor license establishments for Sundays and allows them to be open between 12:00 noon and 10:00 p.m. The new ordinance allows liquor license establishments to be open every day of the week between the hours of 6 a.m. and 2 a.m. the following day, in conformity with State Statutes. This section of the City Code has been more restrictive than State Statutes. In addition the new draft ordinance includes some language to require that permitted service areas outside of the specific dispensing room(s) must be cleared along with the dispensing rooms by 2:30 a.m. The attached ordinance is redlined to show the change from the current form of the ordinance, which prescribes hours for Sunday operation, to the new ordinance which basically copies state statutes and sets hours for every day of the week.
