The City of Cleveland is considering changing the city’s alcohol ordinance to allow online curbside pickup sales of beer and wine. Cleveland City Administrator Tom O’Bryant shared with the council that Walmart and Ingles have both expressed an interest in offering online curbside pickup. O’Bryant told the council that the state recently approved such action, with the local authority’s approval.
The current city code does not allow for this type of sale, O’Bryant said and he asked that the staff work on language to amend the alcohol ordinance to allow for this.
The council indicated no objection. The amended alcohol code will be brought back to the council for their final approval.

The city council also approved a request from the Cleveland Fire Department to seek a Georgia Firefighter Standards and Training Council grant to purchase five new Automatic External Defibrillators.
Fire Chief Ricky Pruitt told the council the current units are old and outdated and parts and supplies are unavailable.
The fire department is required to provide a 10 percent match for the $17,500 cost.
