The commissioners should be supplied with a draft of the ordinance as soon as possible to allow them time to: come to the meeting with comments. The ordinance will be scheduled as an agenda item on the first Council meeting in February. Agenda Item No. 5 was moved up next in the agenda. 5) Special Event Permit - Diamond's Sports Bar Police Chief Way informed the Council Gary Gruber, on behalf of Diamonds Sports Bar, will be making application for two special events for summer 2005.
