Amending Chapter 4 of City Code

The Sheridan City Council approved first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 4 of City Code, which pertains to alcoholic beverages. Amending the ordinance is necessary because of the Wyoming Legislature’s approval of House Bill 13 that regulates alcoholic and malt beverages in the state. Sheridan Police Chief Travis Koltiska said the area of the City’s current ordinance on alcohol delivery that stipulates that an employee of the license holder must be the one that makes the delivery won’t be changing with the amendment.

The new legislation that goes into effect on July 1 requires the Council to amend City Code to adjust delivery requirements, make changes to the definition of the serving area as well as winery and distillery permit changes. The ordinance amending City Code will also remove the requirement that license holders notify the Clerk’s Office within 15 days of a notice of final conviction within the amelioration process.
