Council approves 1‑day beer‑garden permit for fall festival with time restrictions
Summary
City granted a one‑day alcohol catering permit for the fall festival’s beer garden, subject to ID checks and an earlier stop to alcohol sales than last year; police said they had no prior issues with the vendor.
The council approved a one‑day alcohol catering/beer‑garden permit for Stockton’s (applicant name given during staff report) to operate during the city’s fall festival, with conditions staff recommended and an agreement that sales will stop earlier than in the prior year. Staff reported the vendor operated professionally last year and that enforcement officers would be present during the event.
Recreation staff asked the vendor to end sales before the evening dance portion of the festival; staff said the vendor’s written application allows sales until 10 p.m., but the city will ask that sales stop around 7 p.m. so that the dance portion is not conducted during active alcohol sales. The council noted that ID checks and other permit conditions must be met and that public safety officers will be on site; police staff said they had no significant problems with the vendor in prior years.
The motion to grant the permit passed on a voice vote with multiple ayes and one recorded nay. The council asked staff to ensure event staffing, ID checks, and any required permits are in place prior to the event.
