Per state statue, no retailer shall sell any cereal malt beverage without having secured a license for that particular business. When a business is located in the unincorporated portion of the County, their application shall be made to Commissioners, and County Clerk Donna Zimmerman presented many businesses in the county up for license renewal at yesterday’s (WED) meeting.

Zimmerman added that no backgrounds checks have been performed on the licenses, as the Barton County Sheriff’s office can no longer provide such checks. Commissioners discussed and approved of each business’ license renewal for 2013.
