DATE April 11, 1989
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: Minors prohibited on certain premises
BACKGROUND:
The City Council passed an amendment to Ordinance 17.16 allowing minors on
liquor licensed establishments when the dispensing of alcoholic beverages had
been suspended in accordance with a written plan submitted to the Chief of
Police. It was staff belief that the intent, if not the wording of the ordinance,
was that these would be special events and a separate plan would need to be
submitted each time.
There have been requests from three different establishments to have these
events on a routine basis, i.e. each Friday and Saturday night from 1 a.m. to 4
a.m.
The Chief of Police has been requiring a separate request and plan for each
evening. The staff believes that allowing an establishment to submit a plan for
a specific number of dates is acceptable and would reduce repetitive paper
work.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Mandate a separate plan must be submitted for each date that an event is
planned where the dispensing of alcoholic beverages is suspended, and
underage persons are admitted.
2. Permit an establishment to submit a plan for a specific number of dates
where the dispensing of alcoholic beverages is suspended, and underage
persons are admitted.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
alternative #2 and permit an establishment to submit a plan for a specific
number of dates where the dispensing of alcoholic beverages is suspended and
underage persons are admitted. Allowing this would reduce the amount of
repetitive paper work and still allow the Police Department to maintain control
over these events.
