The Honorable Larry R. Curtis, Mayor,
and Members of the City Council
of the City of Ames, Iowa
Re: Packaged Liquor Stores, Minors on Premises
Dear Mayor Curtis and Council Members:
At Saturday's Council meeting, the question came up as to whether the provi—
sions of Section 17. 16(1) prohibiting underage persons on certain licensed
premises and requiring a notice of that effect to be posted, applied to
stores selling packaged beverages where more than 50% of the business was the
sale of alcoholic beverages.
The answer is yes. Section 17. 16(1) of the Municipal Code could be amended
by inserting the phrase ". . . for consumption on the premises . . .". Attached
is an ordinance to amend Section 17.16(1) as indicated, if that is the Coun—
cil 's desired policy.
Yours truly,
l John R. laus
City Attorney
