Sherman updates alcohol ordinance
City to allow alcohol at some public events
A path has been cleared for Sherman events and festivals to serve alcohol in public parks this week when the city alcohol ordinance was updated.
Under the change, the city manager will be authorized to grant exceptions for events in public parks that wish to have alcohol sales and consumption. The ordinance change also allowed city staff to refine and tighten the ordinance to make it more enforceable. Currently today, you have an ordinance that says that, that says there shall be no alcohol possession or consumption in city parks, City Attorney Ryan Pittman. The problem with today s ordinance is that it is overly broad. It says that you have authority to regulate authority and consumption elsewhere.
