Council removes city-issued alcohol server identification badge requirement from municipal code
Summary
Ordinance No. 2026-O-12 repeals the city requirement that alcohol servers hold a city-issued identification badge after staff could not find records of prior issuance; state training and certificates remain required under Utah Code 26B-5-205.
The Midvale City Council voted unanimously to approve Ordinance No. 2026-O-12 to amend Municipal Code sections 5.10.070 and 5.10.080 by removing the requirement that the city issue alcohol server identification badges.
Adam Olsen (Community Development Director) explained staff could not find records showing the city ever issued the badges and that the training-and-certificate requirements are handled through the state under Utah Code 26B-5-205. "Staff cannot find records of servers identification badges being issued," Olsen said, and noted that state-required permits are kept on business premises and renewed every three years.
Council Member Heidi Robinson moved to approve the ordinance; Council Member Paul Glover seconded. The motion passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. Staff said the change aligns the municipal code with current enforcement practice and state requirements.
