Council approves event and alcohol permits, discusses standardizing event forms
Summary
Council granted a one-day alcohol permit for the American Legion, approved the Marble Theater event permit for a Rocky Horror Show production, and discussed creating a standard internal event form to streamline approvals and inform police and staff.
Pocomoke City council on Monday approved several event and alcohol permits and discussed steps to standardize the city’s event application process.
A motion to approve a one-day special alcohol permit A for the American Legion was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote. Council members expressed a preference that applicants appear when listed on the agenda so questions can be answered; staff noted that the county’s permit process is now online and that the city’s signature or written confirmation is sufficient for county processing.
Representatives of the Marble Theater described plans to stage the Rocky Horror Show, said they had a sponsor to cover production costs and outlined service plans (beer and wine, wristbands, certified servers). Council moved to approve the theater’s permit and event plan and suggested that the planning and police departments receive more consistent event details. City staff and councilmembers discussed creating a standardized internal form (based on the county’s prior paper form) to collect event specifics for the city and to keep a binder of event information for police and staff.
Council approved the permits by voice vote and asked staff to coordinate with applicants and the county on online filing protocols and public communications.
