Summary

The Alcohol Board unanimously recommended amendments to Chapter 3 (Alcoholic Beverages) to rename the "pouring permit," add training/permit penalty language, and remove a newspaper-advertising requirement; staff will place the amendments on the consent agenda.

Assistant City Manager and City Clerk Teresa Lynn reported that the Alcohol Board met Feb. 9 and unanimously recommended a set of amendments to Chapter 3 of the City code concerning alcoholic beverages.

City Attorney Stephen Pereira told the council most changes are housekeeping: replacing the term "pouring permit" with "alcohol handling permit," updating penalty and enforcement language to allow Code Compliance discretion, adding penalties for owners, managers and employees who fail to complete required alcohol training or obtain alcohol handling permits within the prescribed timeframe, and deleting Section 3-206(a), which required publishing an advertisement of intent in the newspaper.

Council authorized staff to place the recommended ordinance amendments on the next council consent agenda for approval; no final vote was taken at the work session.
