Introduce ordinance for first reading to ban alcohol billboards near schools
6 to 0
Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance that would ban alcohol advertising on billboards within 500 feet of schools. This means no beer, wine, or liquor ads could appear on billboards near school property, and existing alcohol billboards in those areas would have to be removed or changed to advertise something else. The measure still needs a second reading and final vote before becoming law. This represents a new restriction on advertising in the city, as alcohol billboards are currently allowed anywhere in town.
