II. 20-4914 Temporary Delivery of Alcoholic Liquor

Carr gave a quick recap of the temporary ordinance request and his concerns which were delivery drivers being of age and having proper training to check ID's. Larkin commented that he was not concerned with package delivery, but was concerned with single "open" items of liquor being sold; for example an alcoholic drink with a meal. He also questioned whether this was something that should be implemented immediately for full board approval or if there were other channels necessary before approval. Lindsey was concerned with third party delivery drivers not having proper training and not verifying proper ID's. Larkin requested the County Administrator work with Turk on the ordinance to state that the county would temporarily allow delivery of alcohol provided the delivery driver be trained properly and that they be an employee of the establishment. Third party delivery of alcohol would not be allowed. Carr requested the ordinance state that this is temporary and would be revisited by the chairman within 90 days of passing the ordinance.
