Placeholder Image
The second and final reading on the 300-foot distance requirement will have to wait. Due to lack of a quorum on the Board of Mayor and Aldermen this Tuesday, all business before the board is on hold until the next regular session, which is Oct. 28.Four of the seven board members will not be in attendance Tuesday night. Absent will be Mayor Jimmy Haley, Vice Mayor Ben Newman and Aldermen Billy Wood and Rick Barnes.What would have been under consideration is the second read to strike a sentence from the city’s existing policy that reads “No sale or distribution of beer shall be made at places within 300 feet of any school, public or private, kindergarten or churches.”First read on the measure passed 4-3 on Sept. 23.
