explanation
This ordinance originated from a broader discussion of Alcohol Sales and Consumption Outdoors Downtown (Legistar No. 110683). The item was referred to the Public Safety Committee on February 2, 2012. After discussion at its meetings on February 29, 2012; March 28, 2012, and October 25, 2012, the Committee voted 3-0 to request the City Commission move forward with this ordinance and retain the broader discussion item as an active committee referral.
At its meeting on November 15, 2012, the City Commission authorized the City Attorney to draft and the Clerk of the Commission to advertise an ordinance amending the Code to permit the sale of alcohol at the Santa Fe College Spring Arts Festival. The permit fee currently established in Appendix A of the City Code is $364.50.
