STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KIM VOLK, CITY CLERK/TREASURER
DATE: September 27, 2012
SUBJECT: FMC 10-120 Hours of sale for alcoholic beverages
Background: Council Member Hoppe, at the request of bar owner, Wayne Loock (RD’s) has requested the
Council consider amending 10-120 to allow consumption of alcohol on premise until 2:00 a.m. as allowed by
state statute.
In summer 2010, City Council considered an ordinance to extend the hours of sale for alcoholic beverages as
permitted by State Statute. Council Members at that time were: Kuhr, Gilfry, Eairleywine, Navarrette, Gitt,
Getzschman, Bixby and Anderson. Below is an excerpt from the minutes of August 31, 2010:
The City Clerk gave the third reading, by title only, of an ordinance amending FMC 10-120 relating to hours of
sale for alcoholic beverages. Citizens were present to support and protest the proposed change. Roll call vote
showed Council Member Anderson voting aye, all other Council Members voting nay – 1 aye, 7 nays. There-
upon the Mayor declared the Ordinance failed.
