Local Licensing Authority Minutes September 24, 2018 Page 3 of 4 He noted there will be bands throughout the days. Sunday there will be a race in the morning. Authority member Machado asked about the police presence. Two police officers were part of the conditions imposed by the city. Machado asked if the staff members were allowed to drink alcohol. Mr. Mintzlaff said not during their shift but they would be allowed after they are done working. Machado asked Authority Attorney Culley the standards the Authority is looking at for this application. Attorney Culley noted the Authority is looking at whether or not the permit could be denied on the grounds the event would be injurious to the public welfare because of the nature of the special event, its location within the community or the failure of the applicant in a past special event to conduct the event in compliance with applicable laws. Watson asked about the music and when it would stop. Saturday the music would stop at 6 pm. Carlson suggested the music end a little before that. Machado asked about staffing and liquor service. Mr. Mintzlaff noted two trained servers would be present at all times and a number of staff would be watching the crowd and available for any issues. Police would be contacted for any disturbances or issues. He noted it is a family event. Kaufman asked where the alcohol would be stored after the event on Saturday. Mr. Mintzlaff noted it would be locked in a storage trailer overnight. Kaufman suggested the staff who would be allowed to have a drink after their shift should not still be wearing their staff shirt. Mr. Mintzlaff noted he would comply with that suggestion. Brown asked about smoking. Mr. Mintzlaff noted he would post no smoking signs. Authority Attorney Culley noted this application for the entire event had been through a process with the City Clerk and that contains a requirement the City Clerk determine the hours of the amplified sound. In her opinion, it was not within the purview of the Authority to limit those times. Chairperson Carlson called for any members of the audience wishing to speak in favor or opposition to the application. Hearing none, he closed the public hearing and called for member comments. Carlson suggested the idea of limiting the music hours be passed on to the City Clerk.
