Title
Approval of Ordinance 2016-09 to Amend the City of Smyrna Code of Ordinances Chapter 6, Article I, Section 6-2: Alcoholic Beverage - Definitions
Body
ISSUE: Recommend approval to update the City's closed function definition in the alcoholic beverages chapter to include public buildings added to the City in the last ten years that are available for public rental for closed functions.
BACKGROUND: The proposed amendment updates the definition of 'closed function' under the City's alcoholic beverage codes to ensure the list includes all the buildings in the City designated to host closed functions. Over the past ten years the City added new buildings, such as the Taylor-Brawner House and Brawner Hall, to the numerous facilities available for public use. These facilities are in high demand for weddings, showers, banquets, and other private functions, but presently are not listed in closed functions definition.
RECOMMENDATION/REQUESTED ACTION: Staff recommends approval.
