Council considered an amendment to the city's designated outdoor refreshment area (DORA) to add West 40 Social as a participating business. Members said the restaurant is seeking to participate in a Halloween event on October 31 and asked whether an emergency clause should be added to avoid the usual 20‑day waiting period after adoption; council voted to add the emergency clause so the change could take effect for the event.
City staff noted the liquor control and DORA processes are administered by state agencies and that council action is typically a courtesy but added the local ordinance and state filings must be coordinated. The amendment with an emergency clause passed on recorded voice votes.
