Honorable Lee Fellinger, Mayor
And Members of the City of Ames,
Iowa City Council
In Re: Ordinance to Repeal Most of Chapter 3 of the Municipal
Code
Dear Mayor Fellinger and Council Members :
Chapter 3 of the Municipal Code is , for the most part, an
attempt to paraphrase the state liquor law. In that respect
it is totally unnecessary and ought to be repealed as I
recommended in my report to the Council dated October 13 .
There are two provisions of this chapter, however, which
provide a rule of law not found in the state liquor law.
These provisions pertain to minors being prohibited on
the premises of liquor establishments and prohibition of
consumption of beer and other alcoholic beverages on public
streets. These prohibitions are retained as new sections
3-1001 and 3-1002 under the terms of the ordinance submitted
herewith for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
John R. Klaus
City Attorney
