Saloon reopenings eyed as permits loom in city
City saloon operators, barred for over two years by a supreme court order, push to resume within days.

Brewers and distillers seek shipments while mayor prepares a special meeting if sufficient permit applications arrive. Licenses tied to a 475 per quarter fee, with 74 paid to the county. Some former operators keep fixtures. others face new locations. Each proposed saloon must secure consent from nearby property owners within 50 feet and, for most, council approval remains optional.
