DAHLONEGA, Ga. — When former Gov. Nathan Deal signed the “Sunday Brunch Bill” or “Mimosa Mandate” in May 2018, it gave cities and counties the right to allow the sale of alcohol at restaurants in their communities on Sundays beginning at 11 a.m. via a local referendum.

Dahlonega City Council members will discuss whether to put that question before the voters next November when they meet in a work session and special called meeting Thursday (July 18) at 4 p.m.

Council will also consider amending the hours of operation for Class D, E and F licenses for Sunday alcohol sales and adopting a small cell code.

Bryan Garris, Acting Chairman of the Dahlonega Arts Alliance, will ask council to allow the organization to host an exhibition and live art show in the park from noon until 6 p.m.

Approximately 10-20 artists would set up 10′ by 10′ tents to demonstrate their art live and respond to questions. The event would be free to everyone. Purchases could be made through Canvas and Cork, adjacent to the park.

The event is the Alliance’s first and no city services will be required so organizers are asking that the city’s fee be waived

There will also be departmental reports by the Marshal’s Office, Community Development/Historic Preservation Commission, Downtown Development Authority, Finance, Administration, Public Works and Water and Wastewater.
