City Council Meeting Minutes October 19, 2021 Page 10 of 11 Mayor Stolzmann introduced the item and asked if there are any disclosures; seeing none she opened the public hearing. Deputy City Clerk Genny Kline stated the Colorado General Assembly passed Senate Bill 21-082.The bill has changed the rules related the liquor licensing of festivals. Previously, festivals were limited to winery licensees but the bill amends the regulations to include the multiple other license types. The bill allows already licensed establishments to sell or serve alcohol at a festival event (up to nine per year) just as they would in their established premises. The new law requires the applicant to apply with the state for a permit. If the City does not implement parallel local licensing requirements, the state has the ability to grant the permit, with the stipulation that the festival organizer notify the municipality 10 days prior to the event. Staff recommends the creation of a local permitting process that would allow staff and the Local Licensing Authority (LLA) the ability to review the event and place appropriate conditions as needed. The proposed ordinance creates a process for the LLA to review and approve festival permits. It also updates references in the LMC to the appropriate sections and articles of the Colorado Revised Statutes which were moved a few years ago from Title 12 to Title 44. The proposed resolution sets the application fee for a festival permit at $150. The fee can be updated annually when Council sets fees. The Louisville Local Licensing Authority reviewed the proposed ordinance and resolution at their September 27, 2021 meeting and recommends approval. = 011 WOTST171u-I 0.1.em Motion: Councilmember Brown moved to approved Ordinance No. 1818; seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Maloney.
