The Pella City Council will consider an ordinance expanding what establishments minors can be in that sell alcohol at their meeting this evening. A rule, if approved, would allow minors to remain upon the premises of licensed establishments when less than 50% of the business’s gross income is attributed to alcohol sales, regardless if the other half or more is food or entertainment. The provision does not apply to holders of Class C beer permits or to microbrewery rules passed prior for Class B and A license holders. Council will also consider resolutions amending the Design Review District Design Manual and setting a public hearing for a contract to complete DNR-mandated Wastewater Treatment improvements. Following regular business, discussion will be held regarding the city’s sidewalk inspection and repair program. The Pella City Council meeting begins at 7 p.m. today in the Pella Public Safety Complex.
