Mr. Miller clarified that this step was not a reflection of any change in operations at Granite City, as they continued to operate as a multi-tiered liquor li- censee, both for on- and off-sale licenses. Mr. Miller advised that the action be- ing brought forward was simply a change in previous staff interpretation, and sub- sequent discussions with the State regarding licensing requirements, with the State indicating that Granite City should have a Brew Pub License. Mr. Miller advised that this would be added to the annual liquor license renewal process un- der this new interpretation. No one from Granite City was present to speak.
