City Council stands by decision regarding vendors at City Center

Monday night’s Glencoe City Council meeting saw an attempt to rescind the previous meeting’s motion to make the city the exclusive bar provider for the city center.
The motion was prompted by public input from Dubbs Grill and Bar owner Gene Moske. He said he felt making the city the only vendor went against the idea of the City Center as a way to support local businesses. He also said he was concerned with the way the city staff ran the bar equipment and felt they left it messy.
