[edit] City Ordinances
There was a dispute in the town over whether stores should open on Sunday, and if alcohol should be allowed to be sold, due to a large majority of the city's residents being members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but it was resolved in a 2005 referendum that approved the City Council's decision to allow stores to open on Sunday and to sell alcohol.[citation needed] The newly constructed Walmart currently remains open on Sundays and sells alcohol. A lively online forum has been set up by current City Council Member Jim Perry to discuss this issue, and other issues related to Cedar Hills.[1]
