Scottsboro City Council Work Session. Employee Awards, Public Hearing, Alcohol Beverage License, Citizen Objection, 21 minutes 22 seconds, to the City of Scottsboro buying, selling, profiting, or loss utilizing Tax Payer Funds for the sale of beer at BBQ Cookoff - Not the roll of city government or city employees being utilized to sell beer or any other alcoholic beverage. The question arises, does this sale of alcohol violate Scottsboro's Municipal Code?

Note - The City Attorney mentions that alcohol has been sold at the Goose Pond Colony (GPC) Complex, and that is true. However, GPC is designated as an "Entertainment District" by the City of Scottsboro Municipal Ordinance. Link: https://library.municode.com/al/scottsboro/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=COOR_CH4ALBE Note - Section 4-29 consumption of alcohol on public right of ways, streets, parking areas etc; also note the designation of GPC as an Entertainment District, Section 4-131, 4-132, 4-133; Unlawful Acts and Offenses - Section 4-134 .

After the meeting I spoke to the Scottsboro School System Superintendent Mrs. Amy Childress regarding the Scottsboro City Schools Facebook site blocking/censorship of citizen comments on the site. She indicated (paraphrased), citizen speech would be reinstated on the site in support of two way communications between the public and school officials.
