City Commission Meeting of October 26,
City Attor~~ ENCLOSURES 1995; Proposed resolution extending hours
of operation.
At the end of yesterday's meeting, October 26, 1995, the City Commission adopted a resolution
amending the coming holiday fours of operation for N.C.O.P. (No Consumption On Premises)
Package Store alcoholic beverage establishments in the City. As the maker of the motion, your
direction to this Office, at that time, was to change the fours of operation to make them "the
same as previous years resolutions" on the subject.
Research by this OfJ°ice and the City Clerk's Office indicates that the last resolution on this subject
was passed by the City Commission in 1989. On July 26, 1990, the City Commission adopted
Ordinance No. 10772 which amended City Code Section 4-3(c)(4). That section, a copy of which
is attached hereto, pravides that:
(4) The hours of sale for alcoholic beverages by a liquor package
store, N.C.O.P., are weekdays, including Saturdays, from 7:00
a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; Sundays from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.;
providing further that these hours shall be extended on
Christmas Eve (December 24th) and New Year's Eve
LDecember 31st) until 1200 midnight and on Sundays during
the month of December until 10:00 n.m. {Emphasis supplied.)
Inasmuch as we were instructed to utilize past resolutions on this subject as a guide (the last such
resolution was 1989), and such legislation reflects the same alcoholic beverage holiday sale hours
now codified for "Sundays in December," "Christmas Eve" and "New Year's Eve," it appears that
the aforementiared City Code section eliminates the need for the referenced proposed resolution
unless the City Commission had solne other time schedule in mind when yesterday's resolution
was adopted.
If the hours set forth above for the holidays, and codified in Chapter 4 of the City Code, do not
accurately reflect the City Commission's intention, I am asking that you, as the maker of
yesterday's motion, please notify me. If no further action is necessary, the resolution adopted
yesterday should be classified as a motion by the City Clerk's Office.
