MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, to adopt Ordinance 84-93 per- <br />taining to hours of sale of alcoholic beverages and <br />providing for uniform hours of sale on any given day. <br />Commissioner Wodtke wished to state that he planned to vote <br />against the proposed ordinance even though he knew it is done in <br />the City of Vero Beach. He realized that religion and politics <br />don't mix well, but he personally felt that many businesses <br />shouldn't be open on Sunday at all and that the present practice <br />of allowing the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sundays only after <br />1:00 P.M. is fine. <br />Chairman Scurlock agreed with Commissioner Wodtke's comments <br />and expressed amazement that this change came about in the City <br />of Vero Beach so quickly; however, he pointed out that the <br />difference in hours has a negative impact on businesses located <br />across the county line. He, therefore, did not see any option <br />other than to make the hours uniform. <br />Commissioner Wodtke understood the Chairman's position and <br />stated that he was somewhat appalled to see that no one was <br />present in the audience to speak against the proposed change in <br />hours. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />It was voted on and carried 3 to 1 with <br />Commissioner Wodtke voting in opposition <br />and Commissioner Lyons being absent. <br />31 <br />BOOK F'm, 83 <br />
