Perry City Council members voted to change an ordinance that
deals with “brown bagging” during their regular meeting Tuesday.
According to City Manager Lee Gilmour, the council approved
a new definition of “brown bagging” and adopted a new section.
The new definition states that brown bagging means someone
could bring alcoholic beverages into the business that holds a liquor license
or is eligible for such a license “for the purpose of drinking such alcohol
beverages at such establishments.”
The new section allows establishments that hold a license
for the sale and consumption of alcohol or are eligible for a license, but do
not have one, to purchase a daily or annual permit allowing brown bagging.
Businesses must obtain this permit in order for brown
bagging to be allowed.
