CONSIDER ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO OFF-SALE OF
INTOXICATING LIQUOR ON SUNDAYS.
The State legislature during the 2017 session adopted a revision to the liquor
regulations which allows off-sale of intoxicating liquor on Sundays between the
hours of 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
The City’s ordinance currently sets the hours for liquor sales including the prohi-
bition of the off-sale of intoxicating liquor on Sundays. The attached ordinance
revises the City’s liquor regulations to allow for off-sale of intoxicating liquor on
Sundays between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. consistent with State
statute.
If adopted, current off-sale intoxicating liquor license holders will be allowed to
begin Sunday operations on July 2, 2017. No additional Sunday off-sale license
will be required.
The City does have the authority to be more restrictive in the hours set for off-
sale on Sunday, however staff recommends echoing State statute for con-
sistency between municipalities. Although unlikely, license holders could decide
be open shorter hours than allowed by the new law
ALTERNATIVES: 1.Motion and a second as part of the consent agenda to adopt an ordinance
relating to off-sale of intoxicating liquor on Sundays.
2.Remove this item from the consent agenda for additional discussion.
