The Cherryvale City Commission denies two cereal malt beverage licenses.
At this week's meeting, council members voted to deny license applications for Cherryvale Food and Fuel at 100 N Liberty and Snak Atak 14 at 325 W 6th St. As part of his normal background check into these applications, Police Chief Jimmy Holt spoke with other law enforcement found a report from within the Potawatomi Nation regarding an issue with one of the owners' businesses. Holt says the two applications appear related and notes that the situation is very confusing. Council members denied the applications and agreed that it would be best for the applicants to come in during a meeting to explain their plans for the two properties.

The 2025 budget was also adopted, and approvals were given to get proposals for the city's comprehensive plan update.
