ABC Board

It is the duty of the Alcoholic Beverages Control Board (ABCB) to review all applications for alcoholic beverage licenses and to make recommendations to the city commission as to whether or not alcoholic beverage licenses shall be issued.  It is also the responsibility of the ABCB to hear compliants from any person to include law enforcement personnel or code enforcement personnel concerning any violation of the ordinance.  The Board will informally try to resolve or adjudicate any compliants with recommendations to the city commission as to how to treat any compliants regarding violation of the ordinance.  The ABCB will make recommendations to the city commission regarding whether or not an alcoholic beverages license will be issued and whether or not any alcoholic beverage licensee will continue to hold an alcoholic beverage license.  The ABCB will not make recommendations concerning the guilt or innocence of any person accused of violating an ordinance of the city or of a state law.  

Complaints regarding violation of the ordinance shall be heard by the ABCB at the earliest possible date but no later than 14 (fourteen) days from the occurrance of the alleged violation or complaint unless the time is extended by written agreement of the license holder and the ABCB. If there is no hearing set forth within the fourteen-day period or any agreed upon extended period, the city commission will hear the alleged complaint at the next regular or called meeting of the city commission.  The ABCB may act in any capacity designated by the commission that is consistent with the ordinance.
