Summary

Council President Francis proposed separating the server‑training requirement from the broader alcohol ordinance so police can offer no‑cost trainings ahead of the holidays; staff will bring the server‑training item to a work session on Aug. 10 with an anticipated vote on Aug. 27.

Council President Francis asked the council for a general nod to separate the server‑training requirement from the city’s consolidated alcohol ordinance so the police department could provide no‑cost training for servers before the holiday season.

"I'm gonna recommend that we separate the server requirements, server training requirement," Francis said, adding that the split would allow police to offer several no‑cost trainings to local businesses. Francis asked staff to bring the server‑training piece to the Aug. 10 work session with a target vote on Aug. 27; council members said they supported the approach and asked legal review where necessary.
