The Independence City Commission has tabled an ordinance that would possibly expand the sale of cereal malt beverages and alcoholic liquor to Sundays. 

The ordinance, which saw heavy discussion at Thursday's commission meeting, seeks to stop the leakage of liquor sales to other locations outside Montgomery County. However, all three city commissioners were unanimous in their desire to hold off on any decisions until they have more time to consider the ordinance. Commissioner Dean Hayse said he'd like to consider the economic impact of the decision.

Hayse said he'd like to get input from business owners to help create an ordinance that looks toward the future.

The commission did not establish a date for the discussion to continue, but did agree it would be best to wait until next month to allow the city to advertise to those that would give input.
