A conditional use of alcoholic beverages on public property is to be considered at the Sept. 14 meeting of the Mount Vernon City Council. Under the proposal, applicants must apply to the city for approval for a specified event, as well as specify the type of alcohol that is to be allowed. The council, not the staff, is to approve the request on an individual basis. See the Sept. 9 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald for more information.
