CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED RESOLUTION NO. 74 - 157 By; Mrs . Sharpe A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF OHIO TO BASE THE ISSUANCE OF LIQUOR PERMITS ON A POPULATION RATIO OF ONE PERMIT PER ONE THOUSAND POPULATION, AS AMENDED. WHEREAS, the Department of Liquor Control pursuant to O.R.C. 4301.03(G), which section allows the Liquor Control Commission to regulate the number of permits of any class within the State or within any political subdivision thereof, adopted a regulation on April 28, 1974, whereby the issuing of liquor permits in a munici- pality was to be on the basis of one permit per 500 population. Said regulation repealed the previous ratio of one permit per 1,000 population, and; WHEREAS, the new regulation adopted by the Liquor Control Commission now establishes a total number of liquor permits for the City of North Olmsted at 76 of which 66 are presently open, and said new quota system is in no way based on any increase in popula- tion but rather derived by the aforesaid change in ratio even though there has been no circumstantial increase in population; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED, COUNTY OF CUYAHOGA AND STATE OF OHIO: SECTION l: That the Council requests the Legislature of the State of Ohio to adopt legislation whereby liquor permits would be issued on the basis of one permit per one thousand population.

SECTION 3: That the Clerk of Council is hereby authorized and directed to forward two copies of this resolution to the Legislature of the State of Ohio as well as the Liquor Control Commission. v. >,, . ~ ~ ..,~:,.~ ..~,,~~~ ~.,...,,.. .
