The City regulates the consumption of alcoholic beverages in public places and businesses, and sets selling hours for alcoholic beverages through its local ordinance. The administration and enforcement of this ordinance is handled by our Police Department; however licenses are issued only through the vote of full Council. The license is valid for only one calendar year and must be renewed annually. The renewal applications are reviewed and voted on by Council each December. The requirements for both the licensee and the physical establishment are available through the following link, which is section 6-36 of the Code of Ordinances.
