Old business:

credit to source.
New business:
Discussed request to council to reconsider penalties for violation of city liquor ordinance. Ordinance
requiring 3 day suspension of sales at site of sale. In addition to suspension for retail outlet, the clerk
selling to underage client will be ticketed.
Committee believes volunteer sales people need thorough training. Randy indicated that neighboring
cities ordinances do not require that the facility be shut down. The PL ordinance does mandate annual
compliance check. Also, all non profits who apply for temporary license (event) agree to have a PD
compliance check during the event. Committee to review the ordinance for discussion next month.
PL city council has imposed a moratorium on Hookah bars in the city.
