Liquor board details new beer-garden layout, enforcement plan for Mexican Rodeo
Summary
Ahead of the June 14 Mexican Rodeo, staff told the board they will move the beer garden behind a permanent fence, use wristband colors and give inspectors authority to stop alcohol sales at 7:30 p.m. if safety or flow requirements are not met.
Licensing staff and commissioners described steps to improve safety and flow at the Mexican Rodeo scheduled for June 14. Staff said they plan to move the beer garden behind a permanent fence, establish choke points for ingress and egress, require wristband-color controls and coordinate with the fire marshal and security vendors.
Staff warned that if organizers do not meet the agreed requirements, inspectors have the latitude to stop alcohol sales at 7:30 p.m.; the event itself would not be cancelled but alcohol service could be halted. Commissioners said the goal is to reduce overcrowding and clarify who is responsible for on-site enforcement.
The board will remain engaged with event organizers and inspectors to ensure compliance, with staff following up on specific layout, camera and security requirements prior to the event.
