(A) The city strictly limits the sale and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with special events. Only non-profit organizations, community service organizations or the city as a co-sponsor of a special event will be permitted to sell and/or use alcohol in conjunction with an event. Family gatherings, reunions, private parties, graduation open houses and like events may not apply under this section. In any case where alcohol will be sold at a special event, any required state liquor license must be obtained in advance of the event and proof of same provided to the city upon request.
(B) Any qualified sponsor of an event that includes a request for the sale or consumption of alcohol must submit a separate special events application to sell/consume alcohol. This application will be reviewed by the City Manager and the Chief of Police. The city has complete discretion with respect to granting or denying such an application. If an application under this section is approved, the liability insurance requirements under section § 97.05 are mandatory and cannot be waived.
