Although city officials won’t vote on the proposed ordinance change until the April 8 meeting, a small group of citizens urged the Mayor and Board of Aldermen Monday to reconsider their position.
During a work session last week the board elected to consider extending the operating hours of city night clubs by 30 minutes until 2 a.m. Alcohol sales would still have to cease at midnight, and the new rules would require the property to be completely vacated at closing time.
