NEGOTIATIONS, GRIEVANCE & PERSONNEL ALDERMAN JEREMY PASLEY, CHAIRMAN COMMUNICATIONS FROM MAYOR FRITZ: Mayor Fritz stated that the City deployed some of the emergency services from the fire department and the police department to the communities hit by the tornado.

The Park District worked together with Public Works Director Bill Terry and his crew in the project. OLD BUSINESS AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 8(INTOXICATING LIQUORS) OF THE CANTON MUNICIPAL CODE (2ND READING) Motion and second were made by Aldermen Pickel/Ellis to approve the ordinance and place it on record. Alderman Pasley explained that lee Puleo had a great idea about the funds that would be generated from the fees for the liquor license. The funds could be used to help in a counseling program for drug and alcohol prevention at the middle school. It was suggested that if the City puts a percentage of the fees from the license into a fund the school could match the funds for a counseling service at the middle school for drug and alcohol prevention. Mayor Fritz explained that with his background in law enforcement and on the liquor commission he has some concerns with the ordinance that is being presented. Mayor Fritz said he welcomes and supports the expansion of the liquor license; however he thinks the City is moving too fast too soon. Offering an unlimited number of beer and wine license within the City would not be in his best judgment and he would be reluctant to sign the ordinance. Further discussion took place regarding allowing any or all businesses in town being able to apply and sell packaged beer and wine without any restrictions. Alderman Justin Nelson discussed the possibility of having a restriction for those with a beer and wine license that would prohibit the sale of alcohol within a certain distance from the front door of the store. If the Council can't come up with a determination, Alderman Justin Nelson suggested placing this on a referendum for the citizens to vote. Chief McDowell agreed with Mayor Fritz and said that the City is "going too far too fast" with the expansion. This creates "enforcement nightmares".
