Board: Lewiston City Council

Met: Tuesday night

Up next: Now the city is sending letters to people who still haven’t registered, and threatening legal action if they don’t update their tags.

Lewiston PD gets drug bust money

Issue: The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency shares the proceeds of money from drug busts with the other police agencies involved. In Lewiston’s case, that money is put into a special account to help pay for drug enforcement actions.

The scoop: Councilors on Tuesday accepted about $3,000 forfeited from three drug arrests last year.

Liquor licenses

Issue: Local restaurants and bars must reapply for liquor licenses and amusement permits each year. Liquor licenses let them serve alcohol; amusement permits let them play music, have a DJ or karaoke, or have games on site.

The scoop: They approved a special amusement permit for the The Cage at 97 Ash St.
