Bartlett’s city board and mayor changed who will be on the beer board in the future. Instead of filling the seats themselves, they will now tap citizen volunteers for these unpaid positions.
At their Feb. 24 meeting, the board held a public hearing and the third reading for Ordinance 15-01, which will let all five beer board members be appointed by the mayor and approved by the board.
Members will serve two-year terms and may be reappointed. To achieve staggered terms, the initial appointments will be:
- Two members for one year
- Three members for two years
There were no Beer Board recommendations yet as of March 3.
