hSAUNDERS, Judge.
The facts are not in dispute. This case involves the regulation of the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages within the City of Lake Charles. Specifically, we must determine whether the City of Lake Charles may regulate the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages on Sundays pursuant to ordinances adopted by its city council in 1983 or, alternatively, whether the regulation, sale and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages on Sunday must be submitted to the voters pursuant to a state statute which became effective subsequent to the ordinances’ adoption by the council.
