Board OKs Franciscan Health movie night at amphitheater, asks staff to add alcohol controls to agreement
Summary
The board approved a use agreement for a July 18 movie night hosted by Franciscan Health with staff instructed to add standard alcohol provisions and require volunteer-managed entrances.
The Greenwood Park Board on June 3 approved a use agreement allowing Franciscan Health to host a movie night at the city amphitheater on July 18, with staff directed to amend the agreement to include the city’s standard alcohol provisions and to require volunteer monitoring of entrances.
Why it matters: The event is a public, fundraising movie night for the American Heart Association. Board members and staff discussed public-safety controls and contract language for alcohol service.
Key details: Staff told the board the event will run roughly from 6 p.m. to about 10 p.m. or slightly later because of movie timing, and that Franciscan Health is requesting permission to serve alcohol. A staff member said volunteers will staff all entrances to prevent outside alcohol from being brought in and to manage ingress and egress.
Board direction and action: The board voted to approve the use agreement conditional on inserting the usual alcohol section and clarifying staffing and trash/cleanup responsibilities. "You have to revise that to put the section in on alcohol," a board member said; staff replied that the agreement will be revised to allow the requested provisions. The motion to approve the use agreement was moved by Mister Dietrich and seconded by Mister Prost and carried by voice vote.
Next steps: Staff will return a revised use agreement with explicit alcohol-control language and logistics for volunteer-managed entrances and cleanup; the event organizer will be bound by those provisions when the permit is issued.
