Body
Issue/Request:
An Ordinance Amending Chapter 4, Alcoholic Beverages, Article III. Licenses, Division 2 Types Of Licenses; Fees, Of The Code Of Ordinances Of The City Of Lee’s Summit, Missouri To Revise The Provisions Relating To Sunday Hours Of Sales In Accordance With State Law.
Key Issues:
Chapter 4 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Lee’s Summit regulates the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages within the City of Lee’s Summit. The State of Missouri, in Chapter 311 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, also provides for statewide regulations on the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages.
The Missouri State Legislature has revised the Liquor Control Law in Chapter 311 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri to change certain provisions regarding liquor sales that expand the hour of sales to 6:00 a.m. on Sundays and 1:30 a.m. on Mondays. The City of Lee’s Summit desires to amend Chapter 4 Alcoholic Beverages to be in accordance with the revisions in the Liquor Control Law in the state of Missouri for the efficient administration and regulation of alcoholic beverages within the city.
Proposed Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for second reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 4, Alcoholic Beverages, Article III. Licenses, Division 2 Types of licenses; Fees, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri to revise the provisions relating to Sunday hours of sales in accordance with State law.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of an Ordinance amending Chapter 4, Alcoholic Beverages, Article III. Licenses, Division 2 Types of licenses; Fees, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri to revise the provisions relating to Sunday hours of sales in accordance with State law.
Impact/Analysis:
The following liquor licenses issues by the City will be amended to allow sales between the hours of 6:00 a.m. on Sundays and 1:30 a.m. on Mondays:
