The City Council voted 9-2 7-2 with two abstentions (Jacob and Sandberg) Tuesday to relax one of the conditions on Adams Supermarket owner Ahmad Abud’s liquor license. But instead of granting Abud’s request to only require an off-duty police officer from 8 p.m. to midnight, the City Council went with the Police Chief’s recommendation to require an officer from 5 p.m. to midnight. Still, this is two and a half hours less than the original 2:30 to midnight requirement.
But councilman Clyde Gulley said if Abud didn’t get everything he wanted, he would recommend to Abud that he close his grocery store and leave town. That’s the spirit. Way to retain business, Gulley. Who else have you encouraged to flee your district because they didn’t get everything they wanted from the city?
Clydes recommendation is meaningless. This store will be gone by Jan 1st.
7-2 with 2 abstensas (sp)
Thanks Gary; I’ve corrected the original post.
All, Jacob abstained because he owns a liquor license, and Sandberg abstained because he did some architectural work for the site.
