Council OKs picnic liquor license for St. Louis Columbian Society at Stacy Park on July 12
Summary
The council approved a one-day picnic liquor license for the St. Louis Columbian Society's annual Stacy Park picnic on July 12, 2026, after Parks and Recreation staff said the group completed required paperwork and the police background check raised no concerns.
The OIvette City Council approved a one‑day picnic liquor license for the St. Louis Columbian Society’s annual picnic at Stacy Park on July 12, 2026.
Parks and Recreation Director Beverly Tucker Knight presented the request. "They have completed the appropriate paperwork, and the police chief has run a background check and sees no reason to prevent them having their picnic license," she said. Angelica Gutierrez attended on behalf of the Society.
Council member Jergale moved to approve the picnic liquor license; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote with the mayor and the present council members voting yes. The council’s discussion clarified that sales of alcoholic beverages at a park event require a state and local picnic license, while groups that give away alcohol or hire a caterer with a license do not need the same permit.
Parks staff encouraged council members to visit the event and noted the city will continue coordinating with the police department on safety and permitting.
