Greenwich, Ohio 44837 (419) 752-2441 Council Discussion: The discussion was on the Ordinance 2018-11, starting with Chief who does not think a beer garden should be located next to playground where children would be playing. Mayor noted that the beer garden could be located anywhere in park. Travis stated that his vote would not change if taken again. Everyone seemed to enter into conversation of why or why not this should be un-tabled. King ask if the beer garden would be available 365 days a year with response of yes.
