Council Approves Emergency Ordinance

The Sheridan City Council met for their first regularly scheduled business meeting of June Monday night. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

Sheridan Police Chief Rich Adriaens provided a brief update for the Council on City operations amid the pandemic.

The Council unanimously approved Emergency Ordinance 2020, which allows local liquor stores, breweries, wineries and area liquor license holders, to deliver malt beverages, wine and liquor to residences within the City. The emergency ordinance was first approved in March by the Council due to the pandemic. The  Council, by statute, must continue to approve the ordinance at their regular business meetings to keep it in effect. Councilman Thayer Shafer.

The Council is taking a look at the possibility of adopting an ordinance that would allow for the delivery of alcohol on a permanent basis. Mayor Roger Miller said that they would like to hear from the businesses who have been utilizing the emergency ordinance.

We’ll have more from the Council meeting for you in future stories.
