A
THOMASTON CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE WILL LOOK INTO CHANGING THE
ALCOHOL ORDINANCE, PERHAPS DROPPING THE REQUIREMENT THAT
POURING LICENSEES PROVIDE 50% OF REVENUE IN FOOD SALES.
AT
TUESDAY'S MEETING, CITY MANAGER RUSSELL THOMPSON SAID THE
LOCAL GOLF COURSE HAS A POURING LICENSE BUT NO LONGER HAS A
RESTAURANT, AND THE IDA HAS BEEN WORKING TO RECRUIT A MORE
UPSCALE HOTEL, BUT THE BIG CHAINS WOULD PROBABLY WANT A
BAR WITHOUT THE REQUIREMENT OF HAVING A RESTAURANT.
COUNCIL
ATTORNEY JOEL BENTLEY ADVISED—IT MIGHT BE BEST TO DRAFT A
NEW ALCOHOL ORDINANCE, AS ITS 20 YEARS OLD.
AT
THE PREVIOUS MEETING, COUNCIL ADDED AN AMENDMENT TO THE
ALCOHOL ORDINANCE TO PROHIBIT POP-UP NIGHT CLUBS FROM
ILLEGAL SALES VIA BROWN BAGGING, ESTABLISHMENTS THAT HAVE NO
ALCOHOL LICENSE.
