ELLIJAY, GA – Monday, September 18, the City Council met to briefly discuss Special Events Ordinance and the Alcoholic Beverage Amendment.
The Special Events ordinance was modified per committee recommendations. Due to these changes it was recommended that a first reading be held at this meeting and a vote to adopt be postponed until the October meeting. This ordinance requires that individual groups, organizations, and people to acquire a permit to use public property and roads. This involves parades, assemblies, demonstrations, protest, road closings and other organized activities.
A second ordinance was presented for a first reading to recommendations of the Alcohol Committee which will remove the fees for Alcohol Licenses from the current ordinance. Instead, it will allow them to be fixed from time to time by the city via resolution.
Citizens and council members were asked if they had any question on either topic and no one had any. Citizens are encouraged to voice their opinions at the next meeting on Monday, October 16, 2017.
