(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council voted 5-2 Monday to amend the city ordinance regarding open containers of alcohol on public property.
In June the Council voted to allow those camping at Stanton Lake Park and those renting Candlelight Cabin to consume alcohol in the park. It was suggested the current ordinance be amended.
City Administrator Gary Jorn explained the City Attorney added language giving the Council authority to determine if alcohol consumption will be allowed on city property for special events.
Council members Judy Murphy and John Vaughn cast nay votes with Councilman Don Ferguson absent from the meeting.
The change will include other parks in the City, Prichard Auditorium as well as special outdoor events such as beer gardens.
