Sherman updates alcohol ordinance
City to allow alcohol at some public events
A path has been cleared for Sherman events and festivals to serve alcohol in public parks this week when the city alcohol ordinance was updated.
Under the change, the city manager will be authorized to grant exceptions for events in public parks that wish to have alcohol sales and consumption. The ordinance change also allowed city staff to refine and tighten the ordinance to make it more enforceable. Currently today, you have an ordinance that says that, that says there shall be no alcohol possession or consumption in city parks, City Attorney Ryan Pittman. The problem with today s ordinance is that it is overly broad. It says that you have authority to regulate authority and consumption elsewhere.
Continued rainfall brings flooding to Texoma
Herald Democrat
Flooding and high-water conditions started rising following overnight storms that continued into Tuesday and are expected throughout the week. The National Weather Service estimated that the majority of Grayson County saw at least one inch of rainfall Tuesday morning with portions of Sherman receiving up to 2.5 inches.
Despite this, Denison likely saw the highest rainfall with 2.7 inches of rain by 1 p.m. and the majority of the flooding conditions appear to be centered on Sherman, where multiple streets saw standing water and flooding Tuesday morning.
Sherman Police said this heavy rain combined with construction along U.S. Highway 75 and already saturated due to previous storms throughout May. This led to several instances of flooding throughout the corridor.
