Ordinance Draft - Amendment to Existing Liquor Ordinance ISSUE - Review of specific issues relating to amendment of the liquor ordinance. INTRODUCTION - With the impending change from a municipal store to licensing of off sale private liquor certain amendments need to be made to al low for such. Principal among these are repeal of the municipal dispensary section of the ordinance together with establishment of the control that has to be applicable to the off sale ligior. Additionally in reviewing the ordinance it was felt that a number of other items need to be made to clarify the ordinance for administration purposes. GENERAL - There were several items that were amended through out the ordinance to clarify the issues. A.) Beer to non -intoxicating malt liquor as the term beer can apply to both malt liquor ^under 3.2 percent and also over that amount, but the licensing section under state law only applies to the 3.2 portion. B.) State established legal drinking age. Because of the changing state law as it relates to age and the fact that a person, except for alcohol consumption purposes, is considered to be of majority at 13 the term "state established legal drinking age" has been substituted in the ordinance. C.) Format changes Additionally there were some format changes to clarify what applies to non -intoxicating malt liquor and other types of licenses together with splitting out sections for on -sale, off -sale and general application. D.) Distinquishing between initial licensing and re1i_cens1ng as it relates to public hearings Initial/Renewal licenses (4.02/4.03) Distinguishing between initial and re,ewa_ as it makes public hearing discretionary.
