City commission

The city commission stories are done and posted on the site ... finally.
I am late, but not as late as some other local news outlets. :)
I posted last night a brief summary of what happened. The stories just go into more detail.
One thing i did not mention, is a state law that expands the rules on hosting drinking parties for minors.
Under the new state law, you can be charged for "recklessly" hosting an underage drinking party. So, if you leave a group of 18-year-olds alone in your house with a refrigerator full of beer, and they have a beer party and get busted, you can be charged even though you told them not to drink it all up.
Previously it had to be intentional.
Now you can be charged if you "should have known" but didn't do anything about it.
These are state laws, and it didn't matter what the city did last night.
The city was just aligning its codes with state codes.
