Amend rules for businesses seeking permits to sell alcohol
In Plain English
The city currently requires special permits for businesses wanting to sell beer, wine, or liquor. These rules determine where alcohol sales are allowed and what conditions businesses must meet.

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved new regulations for businesses that want to sell alcohol, updating the city's permit requirements and application process. However, they postponed decisions on two key issues - what hours alcohol can be sold and how close these businesses can be to places where children gather, like schools or parks. These rules will determine which businesses can sell beer, wine, and liquor in the city and under what conditions. The delayed provisions will come back for a separate vote at a future meeting.
