Sunday Liquor-by-the-Drink Item on Agenda Just Housekeeping

According to Loganville City Manager Bill Jones, the item on the agenda at tonight's city council work session concerning Sunday liquor-by-the-drink is just to amend something that was incorrectly read into the record.

"When it was read it, it incorrectly had a 50-50 instead of 75-25 split of meals sold," Jones said. "We will just be correcting that so the record accurately reflects it."

The city council members voted at a special called meeting April 18 to call for a referendum on the November ballot on whether to allow restaurants to sell liquor-by-the-drink on a Sunday in the city. Currently Loganville is one of the three cities in Gwinnett County that doesn't allow liquor to be sold in restaurants on a Sunday. The resolution calls for the vote to be taken on the sale of liquor-by-the-drink in restaurants on a Sunday provided 75 percent of sales are from the sale of meals and only 25 percent from drinks.

Jones said the first time it was read, although the resolution was correctly written as a 75-25 split, it was incorrectly read into the record as a 50-50 split. So to avoid any confusion, the matter would be on the agenda this week to correct the reading.
