Michael Hart and council member EML pu

30
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:56,840
all in
favor passes forward is zero there's no

31
00:02:54,280 --> 00:03:02,959
public hearing tonight so we can start
our agenda and we have two items on the

32
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:09,480
agenda tonight and the first one has to
do with an

33
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:17,159
ordinance and this one has to do with
the swearing in of new council members

34
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:23,120
or the mayor and we just discovered this
this past election cycle and that is we

35
00:03:19,799 --> 00:03:29,000
had assumed that all new council members
or the mayor would take office

36
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:33,040
effectively January 1st of the new year
in which they were just elected in

37
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:39,560
November but we found that not to be
true we found that the old Council mayor

38
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:45,920
and Council still is
in office until we swear in to a council

39
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:52,040
meeting like tonight so we just want to
amend the

40
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:55,040
text that would be ordinance number
2024

41
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:03,079
622 and that is that we would say
beginning January 1 we would have

42
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:08,159
swearing in for those who would want to
be sworn in and

43
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:12,599
ceremonially we could come and swear in
in front of friends and family and the

44
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:18,400
people of the city but we have that we
can elect to do it either way oh no

45
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:23,759
excuse me we're saying are we saying
this will

46
00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:30,479
then on it's just an option oh it is an
option for okay so we might have a legal

47
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:37,800
swearing in private in an office
somewhere in Buford and come back here

48
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:44,039
and swear in publicly in in front of all
so that is the motion tonight do we have

49
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,039
an approval do we have a a motion to

50
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:52,919
approve second we have a motion by
council member batterton and a second by

51
00:04:49,800 --> 00:05:00,199
council member poala um how about
discussion anybody want to address this

52
00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:06,039
and any other question
comments mayor I have one comment and

53
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:11,160
that is state law requires this to be
adopted as an ordinance oh that's

54
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:16,720
correct we have to do this twice state
law requires a Char a charter Amendment

55
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,440
we have to do this is like amending the
Constitution of the United States or

56
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:25,520
amending the Constitution of the state
and so we are under the state guidelines

57
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:31,319
and so we have to do this with two
public here at meetings like this so we

58
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:36,600
will get a first pass tonight in
February and in March we should be

59
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:41,880
compliant with state regulations and we
could then do it for our next election

60
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:48,639
cycle so all in favor of this amendment
change and that would be 40 thank you

61
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:53,639
very much the following and the
concluding agenda item is the approval

62
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:59,840
of ordinance number 2023 so that was
from last year 6- 619 this is going to

63
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:05,840
amend the Lilburn city code with our
alcoholic beverages and our

64
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:12,319
licensing um city manager would you like
to speak to this

65
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:16,680
particular text change so we can know
exactly what we're voting for I'm scared

66
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:22,199
to use the
microphone yes sir this is a a simple

67
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,960
Amendment to the alcohol ordinance that
will make sure that the language of

68
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:32,280
alcohol ordinance and business license
all match so we are allowing a new

69
00:06:29,599 --> 00:06:38,080
business use of new type and that is a
wine shop that has not exist

70
00:06:35,479 --> 00:06:42,199
previously there is a wine shop that has
made an

71
00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:50,560
application is this the downtown
downtown at lurn wine shop we are giving

72
00:06:46,599 --> 00:06:55,759
now an ordinance amendment to say that
what they will be doing in that place

73
00:06:53,160 --> 00:07:00,479
fits the rest of the ordinance in our
community and what is the change

74
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:06,639
specifically that is required here we
didn't have a defined a definition for

75
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:11,960
wine shop so it's not a use that was
permitted because never had a wi correct

76
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:15,160
because it was not it was silent in city
code so this allows for the use that's

77
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:23,000
being
requested and that is they can sell wine

78
00:07:18,879 --> 00:07:27,160
and other products of cheeses and that
sort of thing and we've never had that

79
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:32,319
before I'm going I'm going to ask
Rebecca to speak to those details oh I'm

80
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:38,240
sorry
I'm it's okay not a problem I'm sorry

81
00:07:35,039 --> 00:07:45,080
Rebecca's over the licensing of all this
and I pivoted to sitting I'm so sorry so

82
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:50,360
we adding it in six areas of alcohol it
was previously added into our table of

83
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:55,840
uses and chapter 14 for business so the
purpose of tonight is to add it to eight

84
00:07:52,400 --> 00:08:02,400
specific areas in alcohol code and the
definition in section 6-59 says wine

85
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:07,599
shop means a licensed location at which
a licy may sell wine by the drink for

86
00:08:04,919 --> 00:08:12,720
consumption on site and also by the
package but which earns a minimum of 70%

87
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:17,800
of its annual gross revenue from package
sales of wine unless the wine shop isn't

88
00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:25,479
accessories to
restaurant so it can be a wine

89
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,479
tasting organization as

90
00:08:26,159 --> 00:08:37,479
well not just FYI the way we know about
amending texts is when we have

91
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:43,479
applications and we have a sense of
H and we don't want to do it wrong

92
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:48,480
consistently and so Rebecca rides heard
over that entire department she brought

93
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:53,040
to our attention that this needs to be
amended so that this organization this

94
00:08:50,839 --> 00:08:59,240
new business can flourish in our city
and nobody's out of compliance so thank

95
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:04,480

have a motion and a

96
