Onko kunnan ilmoitettava suostumusta alkoholijuomien vähittäismyyntiin

kunnassa koskevan asian vireilläolosta kunnan

toimielimissä tai varattava muutoin kuntalaisille tilaisuus

tulla asiassa kuulluksi.

Kunnanvaltuusto antoi suostumuksen alkoholiyhtiölle alkoholijuomien

vähittäismyyntiin kunnassa. Asian vireilläolosta

kunnan toimielimissä ei erikseen ilmoitettu eikä muutoinkaan

varattu kuntalaisille tilaisuutta tulla asiassa kuulluksi.

Lääninoikeus katsoi, ettei kyseessä ollut sellainen asia,

jonka vireilläolosta kunnan olisi ollut ilmoitettava hallintomenettelylain

nojalla tai muutoin varattava kuntalaisille

tilaisuus tulla asiassa kuulluksi.
