Gadsden Council to decide between two options for Sunday alcohol sales



The Gadsden City Council is set to discuss two ordinances on seven-day alcohol sales when they meet next Tuesday — one would allow sales after noon on Sundays in restaurants and retail businesses and another that would allow sales as early as 6 a.m. on Sunday.
During this Tuesday’s work session, the council discussed an ordinance drafted by City Attorney Lee Roberts that would allow on- and off-premise sales of alcohol after noon on Sundays. The ordinance would allow bars to sell alcohol after 1 p.m.
Roberts said Thursday he has prepared a second ordinance that allows the sale of alcohol seven days a week but not between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Sundays.
The issue will be discussed during the council’s 10 a.m. work session, and Roberts said council members will decide which one they will consider.
The referendum passed by gadsden voters did not specify times, leaving it up to the council to set the hours.
