DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The Parks & Recreation department is presenting a Resolution for consideration by the Board of County Commissioners for Permitting the Sale, Distribution and Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages on County Property subject to numerous condition. The Resolution states that the sale, distribution and consumption of alcohol by the general public on County property be allowed at only specified locations associated with specific types of events and through the prescribed approval processes as provided in this Resolution. The locations and methods of distribution for which a permit may be issued at each Authorized Location are detailed in Section 3.I. of this Resolution. Authorization of the sale, distribution and consumption of alcohol requires approval by the County Administrator, or their designee, in an effort to protect the general population, County property and County employees while complying with all local and state laws. In enacting this Resolution, the County is acting in its proprietary capacity to manage County property and does not intend to create any right to possess, consume, distribute, or sell Alcoholic Beverages that would deny the County the use of its discretion in managing County property. This Resolution is to act to grant the County Administrator the authority to permit the possession, consumption, distribution, and sale of Alcoholic Beverages on County property if all conditions of this Resolution have been met.
The Parks & Recreation Director is responsible for implementing the provisions of this Resolution and shall ensure uniform application and interpretation of Resolution. All existing policies regarding the possession or consumption of alcohol by County employees remain in effect.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None.
