Separately, the commission discussed proposed ordinance amendments related to liquor licenses, including requirements for commissioners to have BASSET certification, clarification on the vice-chairperson's role, and changes to license classifications and fees. The commission also addressed PII concerns regarding the handling of applicant information.
