Liberty City Council met in a special called session Monday.

The only item on the agenda was a first reading of an ordinance related to alcohol beverage control.

There was a lengthy discussion on the ordinance which mirrors the statutes in the cities of Danville and Stanford.

The first reading was approved on a vote of 3-2.

There will be some adjustments and a second reading of the ordinance will be held at a later meeting.

The deadline to pass the ordinance is January 9, 2023 and that is when applications may be made for alcohol sales.
