Title
Amending Section 33.02 of the Madison General Ordinances to revise the composition of the Alcohol License Review Committee.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance reduces the number of members of the Alcohol License Review Committee from nine to seven members by decreasing the number of alder members from three to two and decreasing the number of adult resident members from six to five members. The ordinance also corrects an inconsistency in the terms of citizen representatives.
