SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The South Hutchinson City Council will make it official this evening. The council will pass a resolution to send a proposal for Sunday liquor sales to a vote.

The action comes after city resident Greg Dovel gathered enough signatures on a petition to let the public decide to allow Sunday sales.

Under the resolution, Sunday liquor would be allowed with the exception of certain hours on Easter, Labor Day, Memorial Day and Independence Day.

The passage of the resolution is a formality since the council must send the proposal to a vote. The vote will come during the Nov. 5 general election.

The council will also hold its public hearing and take action on the 2020 budget during tonight’s meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. at the South Hutchinson city offices.
