Council weighs TIPS server-training window; LPD offering on-demand sessions changes calculus
Summary
Members debated whether new employees must complete alcohol-server training within 14 days, 30 days, or 90 business days; police noted LPD can offer on-demand sessions and certification lasts three years.
Councilors discussed the required timeline for alcohol-server training for new employees, with earlier drafts ranging from 30 calendar days up to 90 business days. Council member Larson favored a tighter window (two weeks), arguing high staff turnover during summer requires prompt training. Others cautioned 14 days may be too short for small businesses with irregular onboarding schedules.
Chief Wahl said LPD can provide on-demand training and that server-certification typically expires after three years, which informed some members' willingness to shorten the initial window. Council members agreed to discuss the precise number as an amendment in second-reading materials and to instruct staff to estimate training capacity for on-demand sessions.
