The Ellijay City Council finished off the year with some typical year-end business, including renewing several alcohol licenses and a few city contracts, when meeting Monday, Dec. 19.
Approved alcohol licenses included a microbrewery license renewal for Cartecay River Brewing Co. and a microdistillery license renewal for DB Distillery (doing business as White Path Creek Distillery).
On-premise consumption licenses were also approved for Cajun Depot, La Catrina and Tony’s Country Corner Kitchen.
Councilmembers Sandy Ott, Katie Lancey, Tom Crawford, Al Fuller and Kevin Pritchett renewed the city’s firefighter cancer benefit policy and a probation services contract with Georgia Probation Management Inc., which expires at the end of the year.
Per the new offender supervision services contract, probation and pretrial fees, which have been $41 a month since 2018, will increase to $45 in 2023.
The fees are paid by those under probation, not the City of Ellijay.
