3.A. Consider request for a beer garden at City Park for Cinco de Mayo
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada stated that Xochitl Boughtin with the Corner Liquor Store asked for this to be on the agenda and did everything that meets what the Liquor Control Commission looks for. She is doing this at the same time with or without the Chamber of Commerce support for the Cinco de Mayo celebration. In the past couple years the Chamber has asked to use the park to sponsor the event. These are a complex set of issues. She asked to do a beer garden at the event last year and they did not want to do that with her. The Chamber will be meeting tomorrow at noon to discuss what they are going to do for the Cinco de Mayo event. Ourada stated that it is up to the City Council to decided on Policy and Procedure and what they want to happen in the City Park. Mayor Dave Bauer stated that if they were to allow this then they would have to allow it for other events such as family reunions. The park is a place where many children ride their bikes and walk to. There are other places where this can take place such as Tuxedo Park which is to have picnics out there. There have been requests for beer gardens at Tuxedo Park. This discussion will be continued during the regular City Council meeting.
