From last Tuesday's City Commission meeting (1/7/14), discussion about distance waivers for alcoholic beverage establishments...

A lot of discussion and a lot of confusion related to regulation of bars and restaurants in the downtown. Mr. Waters asserts that there is only one bar that has come for review and that was the day that he began work with the city. Restaurants that serve liquor have had the distance requirement removed two years ago. Commissioner McVoy had a lot of questions and halted the proceedings prior to the vote being taken. In the end, the vote was unanimous regardless. It is a discussion that is worth listening to.
