Students hosting keggers may soon have to go through the police before getting a keg permit.

The city council will address keg permits at tonight’s meeting.

City Hall plans to put the Charleston Police Station under control of issuing keg permits to citizens instead of the licensed liquor establishments, which are presently in control of the permits.

Deborah Muller, city clerk, said that the police station will have more control over the permits, and will be able to issue the permits more accurately.

The council will also address the vacant alley between the police station and Friends and Co. at tonight’s meeting.

The alley is the south of City Hall. The plan is to improve the parking lot between the station and City Hall and add more spaces, said

The owner of Friends and Co. agreed to give up a piece of the alley in order to expand the parking lot.

The council hopes to pass the resolution tonight, but it could be put on file for public inspection.

Today’s City Council Meeting is at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall.
