To whom it may concern,
I just wanted to reaffirm our position on the up and coming vote for the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday. On a business level we have had complaints throughout the years relating
to the issue at hand. Some even stating that they would choose to never come to this county again, or they will keep driving next time to Idaho Falls. There are those who are very
offended and those who are mildly put off.
We are seeing several guests venture here from outside countries where it is traditional to have a glass of wine with their dinner. I also have several tour groups that are choosing
to stay in this area as opposed to Yellowstone area. The interest has been higher than ever this coming travel season and they are booking 15-20 rooms per stay. Most of them are
coming from China and France and most of their stays are on Sunday evenings. We welcome them into our community but with restrictions that they are unaccustomed to.
I am afraid that we are doing ourselves a disservice by limiting others. We have so much to offer to all who venture here. Our doors should always be open to all.

This message was sent from Rexburg.org:
Our family supports the city council fully if they choose to remove restrictions on the sale of alcohol on Sundays. It would be a reasonable decision and good for the business/tourist
atmosphere of Rexburg.

Hi Blair,
This is Cami Mortensen. I wanted to tell you that I am in favor of allowing alcohol to be served in our restaurants in Rexburg. I think it would be a very good thing for our city. It
will not damage our city and it will bring more restaurants here, which we very badly need.
Thanks,

Blair,
I would like to voice my concern about the ordinance on beer and wine sales on Sunday.
I would much rather see our local tax dollars being spent in our county by allowing people to get what they want here in Rexburg, instead of taking that money to Bonneville or Fremont
etc. I am LDS and I know that’s not what this is about, but I am all for local businesses being able to see alcohol on Sundays.
Thanks for your time

I say allow sales of alcohol on Sundays. If people don’t want to buy it on Sunday then don’t but that shouldn't stop others that do want to buy it no matter what day of the week it is.

Blair,
I'm going to try and attend the meeting tonight but life being what it is a the juvenile correction center, I may not make it down. I did want to voice my support of beer and wine sales
in Rexburg however, due mostly to my experiences being in Applebee's on Sundays and during the week. There are many people from outside the area who stay at either the AmercInn or
the Marriott who come in and order dinner and ask for an alcoholic beverage. To a person they are stunned when they can't have one and usually leave the establishment without getting
anything. I feel that the city of Rexburg is hurting itself financially because these folks will not only not go to Applebee's again, they won't stay in those motels either...
Blue laws have proven to be ineffective in managing behavior and they usually only result in harm to the bottom line of the business and the city.
Thanks for your time, Blair, and I hope to see you tonight.
Regards,
Troy Allgood

I'd just like to let those involved in the discussion of beer and wine sales on Sunday know I don't have a problem with it. I would love to get some more restaurants in Rexburg and if
that's what it takes let's do it. We already allow those sales 6 days a week. I think if visitors are perceiving Rexburg as unwelcoming and judgmental that does more harm than good.
I hope people will feel that Rexburg is a nice place and have good feelings about our community. We would love for them to return again and again and learn about our community. I also
can see how
