What this means
The commission approved both restaurant-related permits, so each business can move forward with serving beer and wine for customers to drink on site, subject to the city’s conditions. One commissioner raised concern about whether the city has a way to address clusters of alcohol licenses, and staff said the current review is done case by case. The meeting also included commissioner training, and staff announced that Commissioner Carney resigned and the city is accepting applications to fill the vacancy.
