On December 6, 2018, the Mayor and Aldermen approved a 90-day stay on the issuance of alcoholic beverage licenses within portions of the 1st and 5th Districts to allow for the establishment of reasonable and ascertainable standards for the regulation and control of alcoholic beverages in a manner designed to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the community.

To date, staff has met to analyze data, explore best practices and develop options to begin addressing the issues associated with the continued issuance of licenses to sell alcoholic beverages in certain portions of the 1st and 5th Districts. A resolution extending the temporary stay for an additional 60-days is needed to formalize these strategies and obtain public comment prior to presenting to the Mayor and Aldermen for adoption.
