Ellijay City Council passes Alcohol Ordinance -Tables Sidewalk Cafe Ordinance

Ellijay City Council held its workshop, public hearing, and regular meeting Monday night, April 18th.  The room was full and there was a good deal of time for questions and comments to the Council.

Once citizen input time was closed the meeting moved along quickly.  A zoning change at 7661 Hwy 515 North, (Sturgeons Amphitheater) was granted for 2 acres to be rezoned Residential from Commercial.  A paving bid decision was made.  The Council moved and passed the Alcohol Ordinance however the Sidewalk Cafe Ordinance was tabled for further review by the Council.  There was a first reading for a Technology Surcharge Ordinance and a decision made on their bank account.

Mayor Hoyle repeatedly expressed to the crowded room to come and sit down with him at any time, stating he has an “open door policy” and will gladly meet with anyone who has questions or concerns.  See full video below of workshop and meeting:
