Another group of vocal residents made sure again Tuesday night the City Council was aware not everyone in this Utah County city is in favor of banning beer sales and Sunday operations.

The council room was filled to capacity, but this time the majority of the speakers were members of the Concerned Citizens of Cedar Hills, a coalition formed to balance out the first group's desires of prohibition and non-Sunday business.

"Buying gas on Sunday is not immoral, filling a prescription on Sunday is not immoral, responsible drinking is not immoral," said Eric Richardson, spokesman for the new Concerned Citizens.

Controversy has engulfed the town since March when city officials voted against banning alcohol sales and Sunday business.

The Coalition to Preserve Cedar Hills was formed shortly after and has since been successful in getting two initiatives on the June 28 special election ballot that if passed would outlaw beer and Sunday operations.

But once the City Council voted to include the initiatives on the June ballot, an opposition movement arose.

On Tuesday, residents spoke calmly as they encouraged others to vote "no" to the two initiatives. Every resident who spoke during the public comment period spoke against banning beer and Sunday operations.

"We will not be infringing on our family values" if we allow beer and Sunday operations, said Charelle Bowman. "I can teach my children, thank you."

The Concerned Citizens group is having a town-hall style meeting today at 7:30 p.m. at Cedar Hills' Heritage Park to pass along information and advice on the June 28 vote.
