During the full committee meeting, commissioner Joe Allen changed his vote from the last committee meeting. Bert Bivins and Mallory Jones, who were absent at the last meeting, voted "no," making the vote 5-3 against beer and wine sales.

Michael McNeill with the county attorney's office says there is a chance that Amstar could file an administrative appeal. It would be the first administrative appeal the county has ever seen.
