Title
Amending and restoring Section 8.24(1)(x) of the Madison General Ordinances to remove the sunset provision for the restriction of alcohol consumption in Law Park.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This proposal removes the sunset provision relating to alcohol consumption in Law Park. Prior to December 31, 2008, alcohol consumption in Law Park was prohibited. After that date, the subdivision became ineffective because of the sunset provision. This proposal restores the prohibition on consumption, with no sunset date.
