A five-person committee now in place to discuss possible remedies to allowing alcohol consumption on Cookeville city property.
City Manager James Mills announced Jay Albright, Alma Anderson, Anna Dunn, Jill Horner, and Laura Wolf Woodford will serve on the temporary committee. The group will look at ways alcohol sales could be permitted at non-city events in city parks and streets. The council passed an ordinance last December because of potential exposure to the city. Council asked that a committee be formed to look deeper into possible solutions.
“We will have an organizational meeting of the committee, and we’ll schedule that in the next few days,” Mills said. “And we hope to have the work completed within the next two to three months.”
The city received 22 applications to serve.
