The Lander City Council will hold a regular meeting at 6 pm. Tuesday in the City Council Chambers at 240 Lincoln Street.
The agenda begins with four public hearings regarding:
-a new restaurant liquor license for El Vaquero 2 Mexican Grill and Cantina at 720 E. Main St.
-an ordinance amending the municipal judge section of the town code
-an ordinance amending the “grounds for suspension or non-renewal” portion of the town code under “sale and licensing and use of alcoholic malt beverages”

The council will consider voting on all four topics as new business action items later in the meeting.
New business
There are nine other new business action items on Tuesday’s agenda, including a resolution to end the suspension on the distribution of the half percent sales tax funding for economic development and provide guidance for the distribution of funds.
The council will hear a presentation from Jenna Ackerman beforehand concerning economic development fund disbursements.
There are also three resolutions listed under new business Tuesday setting rules for City Park, McManus Park, North Park, Dillon Park, Goodrich Park, and Centennial Park.
