Title
Extension of Boundaries for Alcohol Consumption During Events Downtown (B)
Explanation
The Public Safety Committee held three public meetings to consider the DRAB/GDOT request to allow an extension of boundaries for alcohol consumption during special events downtown. Staff was asked to present a proposal for an extension of business boundaries to allow for consumption of alcohol, and to provide guidance in the permitting process and enforcement of provisions in that process. The attached proposal defines the designated area, provides for an application process which includes, in part, a limitation to the number of permits, exemption dates for events, funding responsibilities, and perimeter, security, advertising and identification requirements.
Recommendation
The City Commission hear a presentation from staff on the Public Safety Committee's proposed guidelines for extension of boundaries for alcohol consumption during events in the downtown area, and take action as appropriate.
