CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS
Councilmember Ryan requested discussion on Item 8.a., An Ordinance Amending Chapter I 1 of
the City Code of Ordinances Relating to Liquor Licensing, in particular that Surly Brewing
Company is a unique operation and within a different category of licensure so there would not be
an issue with the percentage of food served. City Manager Curt Boganey confirmed that Surly
Brewing Company had a different category of liquor license and Statute would not establish a
food sale limit as long as Surly Brewing Company qualifies for the license. Surly Brewing
Company has to apply for a Special Use Permit so a description of how it intends to use its
license will be included in its application and the City Council will be able to take into account
issues such as hours of operation and parking.
Councilmember Lawrence Anderson requested discussion on Item 6.f., Resolution Approving
Allotment of Unassigned General Fund Net Assets to General Fund, in particular if those items
would be sold or donated. Mr. Boganey explained the City has a policy relating to disposal of
assets that are no longer needed. Typically, the asset will be sold to a buyer as a discount against
the price (trade in), or the asset can go to public auction, or if determined to have no salvage
value the item can be disposed or donated to a qualified recipient(non-profit).
