Staff recommends approval of open-container waiver with $1,000,000 insurance requirement
Summary
Staff urged approval of an open-container waiver but recommended conditions including ramp certification for alcohol servers and naming the downtown State College Improvement District as additional insured with at least $1,000,000 per-occurrence coverage on a primary, noncontributory basis.
Staff recommended that council approve an open-container waiver for a special activity, subject to three conditions spelled out on the record: ramp certification for employees serving alcohol at the event; naming the downtown State College Improvement District as additional insured on the general and liquor liability policy with no less than $1,000,000 per-occurrence limit on a primary and noncontributory basis; and adherence to the requirements listed in the codification.
“Staff recommends that council... the applicant provides ramp certification of employees serving alcohol at the event,” staff said, adding that the insurance coverage should be on a primary and noncontributory basis. A council member asked whether such items must be discussed separately each time or could be included in a future consent agenda; staff replied that special activities are consent-agenda items but open-container exceptions remain on the policy agenda because of the special circumstances of granting the exception.
The transcript records the staff recommendation and the insurance condition; the record does not include a subsequent roll-call vote or the final action outcome for this item within the provided segments.
