Hammond City Council voted to withdraw the ordinance off tonight’s agenda regarding prohibition on persons under the age of 21 in stand-alone bars and nightclubs, 5-0.

Councilman Kip Andrews said that he plans to bring the item back with revisions.

Council also unanimously tabled the ordinance, concerning alcoholic beverages in city parks.

This was after a largely attended public hearing for both items, with comments from multiple constituents.
