4. Council Bill/General Ordinance 3002-2020
An Ordinance amending Chapter 4, “ALCOHOLIC LIQUOR,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, by amending Sections 4-3302 to 4-3307, 4-3309, 4-3310 and 4-3315, regarding the retail sale of single serving containers of certain alcoholic liquors.
Explanation: The City adopted Council Bill/General Ordinance No. 3028-2019 on November 19, 2019, to enact a new section, Section 4-4110, to regulate the retail sale of single serving containers of certain alcoholic liquors in their original packaging. The restricted sales apply to any holder of a City of Moline Class A, AA, B, C, CC, CCC, D, E, F, FF, G, H or K liquor license. The ordinance language regarding minimum quantities has resulted in questions from liquor licensees, and Corporation Counsel has determined that certain language regarding minimum quantities in the above-referenced sections should be removed to avoid confusion. This ordinance will remove all specific references of “fifty-one milliliters or larger” from those sections to align with the new Section 4-4110.
