County liquor sales to flow, except on Sunday

But County Attorney Bill McNally told the commission that Sunday sales require

another referendum.

"We specifically wanted Sunday sales and thought that's what we

were getting. That day is one-seventh of our business," he said.

Boykin said that thirsty golfers might head to other courses on Sunday,

which could lead them to competitive courses the rest of the week.

Commissioners Linda Wells and Chairman Greg Dunn were also not aware the

referendum didn't allow for sales on Sunday, but said there was little

they could do about it. Dunn said it would be too late to get the issue on

the November ballot, and it would have to be scheduled when the next county-wide

election is held.

Other components of the ordinance included:

- Setting A fee of $1,500 for selling mixed drinks, beer and wine.

The current cost is $750 for beer and wine. Commissioners A.G. VanLandingham

and Herb Frady advocated setting the fee at $5,000, but the other three commissioners

favored a smaller increase.

"It's not like the workload is increased that much," Wells

said.

- Cutting off sales at 11:55 p.m. on Saturday nights with one exception.

The County Commission decoded to extend the sales to 1 a.m. on a Sunday morning

that was New Year's Day.

The ordinance went into effect Thursday night with the signatures of the

commissioners' pens.
