Mayor Schmitz explained that the Blueprint City initiative is a citizen led grassroots program which looked at five issues within the categories of policing, civic, spiritual, business, affordable housing, and education to determine ways to improve our City in these areas. He said this was a dynamic process, and results will be unveiled tomorrow. Mayor Schmitz said Dothan was named the best small city for small business in the State of Alabama and number 45 in the United States. City Manager West invited Safety Officer Trampas Gougler to present a Risk Management President Award and Risk Management Gold Award the City recently received from the Loss Control Division of the Alabama Municipal Insurance Corporation and the Municipal Workers Compensation Fund.

Commissioner Kirkland moved for approval, motion seconded by Commissioner Kenward. Mayor Schmitz asked those who were present to speak on this matter to do so at this time. Dominic Hubbard, Earle Shaw, Pastor Maurice Carroll, and Ashley Nicole Davis spoke in favor of this request. Jane Hall, Brandy Givens, Shelly McNary, Andrea Jett, Dianne Sale, and Francis Tyson spoke in opposition to this request. Mayor Schmitz then called Michael Prichard to the podium. Mr. Prichard read from a prepared statement regarding his business and this request. He asked that the Commission consider his plea when making their decision today. Commissioner Kenward asked the applicant if he appealed the Commission’s previous denial on August 2, 2016 to the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (State). Mr. Prichard said he did not appeal at that time because he did not realize the procedures but has since researched the process. Commissioner Ferguson said these are difficult issues for the Commission as they have a responsibility to small business, but they also have a responsibility to homeowners who have made a much larger investment in the neighborhood. He said his opposition is based on the location because this is an on premise request and the property buffers a residential area, as well as the overwhelming opposition that the Commission has received. He said at least 50 emails and a dozen phone calls have been received. Commissioner Kenward noted that a comment was made today regarding the City’s measurement being different than the State’s measurement, and she asked for this to be clarified. Police Chief Steve Parrish explained that the City consistently measures distance by the shortest route possible from the property of one to the door of the other and the State has informed his department that they do not measure because this is set by city ordinances throughout the state. Commissioner Ferguson said he believes the intent of the ordinance is to keep a buffer between establishments with alcohol and places where children congregate. He said he is not sure the current ordinance works, and he would like for the Commission to consider making some changes in order to preserve the spirit of the ordinance. Commissioner Crutchfield noted that Featured Players has operated at a couple of different locations over the years, and he asked Chief Parrish if there have been any issues associated with this business. Chief Parrish said records have been pulled for the current location and there has not been an overwhelming number of reports.
