Public Safety Committee Public Hearing – 2022 Liquor Objections Review
COLUMBUS, OH --- Councilmember Emmanuel V. Remy, Chair of the Public Safety Committee, will host a public hearing to review the 2022 Liquor Objection request by the Columbus City Attorney’s office.
Who: Councilmember Emmanuel V. Remy Sarah C. Pomeroy, Assistant City Attorney
When: Tuesday, November 29th 5 PM
Where: Columbus City Hall 90 W. Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43215 Council Chambers, 2nd Floor
What: Each year, Columbus is required to submit any objections to the renewal of liquor permits within the City by December 31. Throughout the calendar year, the City Attorney’s office works with community leaders, Columbus Police, Fire, Health, Building, and Code Enforcement, as well as various state entities, including the Ohio Investigative Unit, to identify and investigate liquor permitted locations that have violations of state and city code and chronic criminal activity (including violent crime, overdoses, and liquor violations). Proposed objections are then presented to Council, and if approved via resolution, are sent to the Ohio Division of Liquor Control. The objection does not result in any immediate change to business operations. The City Attorney’s office is committed to working with these businesses to enact appropriate security and safety improvements for their establishments and surrounding neighborhood.
