PLEASANT GROVE -- City councilmembers in Pleasant Grove have decided to allow Sunday beer sales at convenience stores, but not at drive-through windows.

The Daily Herald reports (http://bit.ly/s3eC27 ) the 4-1 vote came Tuesday night, amid some residents' complaints that the city was overstepping its boundaries by proposing a ban on the alcohol sales.

City Attorney Tina Petersen said the law technically permits Sunday beer sales at places outside of restaurants, such as convenience stores.

State lawmakers left it up to voters to decide locally whether to allow Sunday alcohol sales. The Georgia Food Industry Association says the issue was on the ballot in 128 cities statewide on Nov. 8. But many won’t start allowing Sunday sales until next year.
