An entertainment district designation allows customers to take an open container of alcohol outside of an establishment, as long as the customer stays within the limits of the district.
“One of the things that I inherited when I took office was the worst morale issues with the first responders,” Blankenship said. Part of fixing that came with the hiring of retired Alabama Law Enforcement Agency State Trooper Director of Public Safety Col. Charles Ward, who is now the Ozark Department of Public Safety Director who works with Kristy Clark in the EMS Department and the fire department’s Jason Martin.
“But we still have struggles with the Dale County Commission,” he said. “It’s sad but that’s the way it is.”
