Seconded by Mr. MacAskill. Mr. Howell said that he will vote for this because it has merit, but liquor licenses really belong under New Business, not under Consent Agenda. He said he has been saying this for two and a half years. Mr. MacAskill agreed with Mr. Howell and stated that he has been saying it for at least two and half years. He would suggest that Mr. Howell writes the policy, and make this a policy. All in favor, motion carried by unanimous vote.” (Motion: Ford, second: MacAskill)
