The Springfield Board of License Commissioners on Jan. 28 approved an administrative finding and signed a required form documenting that Springfield did not experience a seasonal population increase for 2026.
Attorney Smith told commissioners the data show no increase in population and "therefore, essentially, we don't do seasonal alcohol licenses." Staff said the form needs commissioner signatures; following a motion and second, commissioners voted to approve the form.
The action documents the board's determination for 2026; it is an administrative step rather than an authorization to issue seasonal licenses.
