2. Renewals

3. New Applications

3.1 Macoupin County Fairgrounds

The fair is applying for a full year license based on the amendment to ordinance that was being considered next.

Motion to approve the application

Moved by: Tony Wiggins

Seconded by: Harry Starr

Carried

4. Agenda Items

4.1 Amendment to County Liquor Ordinance

Garrison said that per year it is cheaper for the fairgrounds to get year long dram shop than getting dram shop each time they have an individual event. However, they would still like the option of having private businesses to cater, which would require a retail caterer  license option in the ordinance. This amendment would allow a caterer to purchase a special retail caterer license, with a maximum of 15 per year, which by state law is required. That would allow the Fair to have their license but also have other business cover some events.

Motion to amend the ordinance.

Moved by: Tony Wiggins

Seconded by: Leann Barr

Carried

5. Adjournment

5.1 Adjourn Meeting

Motion by Blank, seconded by Wiggins to adjourn at 4:53 pm. All in favor. Motion carried.
