The alcohol-license measure will move forward with the committee’s recommendation, although the meeting minutes do not show final City Council approval. The committee did not take a position on adopting Chapter 53, Section 18B, which could allow mass mailings explaining ballot questions. City officials said a mailing could be difficult this election cycle because of timing, early voting, legal requirements, and cost; they plan to develop other lawful ways to inform voters.
