The Berryville City Council held an abbreviated meeting last week, giving approval to a pair of requests to make use of the citys downtown square.
The first, from Gary Gunn, requested permission to perform as a one-man band, using music to talk about Jesus. The time requested for these events was each Saturday through the fall, for two hours after the Farmers Market, with the expectation that they not interfere with any other events or city functions.
The second request came from Starlene Lee and Keith Rivera on behalf of the Carroll County Historical and Genealogical Society, asking permission to make use of several sites in an effort to recreate an old tradition in Berryville, Pioneer and Heritage Days.

Joe Scott, president of the Berryville Library Advisory Board, speaks during a news conference Friday, April 1, to announce the official beginning of the fundraising effort for the construction of a new $2.5 million library building in Berryville. Library director Julie Hall said the proposed 10,000-square-foot structure is a much-needed improvement, more than tripling the space the library has in its current location.

The Berryville City Council on Tuesday gave final approval to an ordinance modifying and updating the citys existing ordinance regulating the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption.
The measure, which was first proposed late last year, came up after the city received word from the states Alcoholic Beverage Control board that its current regulations were missing a key phrase relating to the sale of spiritous beverages.
In addition to updating the phrasing, the amended ordinance will also include a number of changes, namely restricting city officials both elected and employed from acting in any capacity other than providing informational aid or assistance to a business seeking a liquor license; setting the hours for sale of such beverages to 7 a.m. through 11 p.m. on Monday through Friday and from 7 a.m. through midnight on Saturdays; and imposing a 3 percent supplemental sales tax on the sale of such beverages
