The City Council of Woodstock told the city manager Monday night to prepare to get a referendum on the November ballot that would allow residents to vote on the Sunday sales of alcohol.
The city has until about June 30 to make a final decision, but the council members did not want to wait until the last minute to prepare. The General Assembly passed legislation this year that would allow local referendums, and though Gov. Nathan Deal has not yet signed the bill into law, he has indicated he would do so.
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners also had preliminary discussions about Sunday sales, but has made a decision.
