Council putting alcohol law in final form maybe
Regular meeting 9 a.m. Tuesday; work session 5 p.m.
WEB MOORE Jan 073109
City of Statesboro Mayor Jan Moore
After almost two years of looking at a new Alcoholic Beverages Ordinance without adopting it, Statesboro City Council held a work session last week and has another planned for Tuesday at 5 p.m. This means the council will meet twice in one day, since its first regular meeting of February is Tuesday at 9 a.m. The work sessions were proposed to bring new council members Sam Lee Jones and Jeff Yawn up to speed and to hear further public and staff input before a vote on the ordinance. As the year began, Mayor Jan Moore said that a first reading of the ordinance could be held Feb. 16, meaning it could be voted on in March. But now Moore isn’t predicting whether the ordinance will reach its final form that soon.
