5.d Staff Report-Fire Relief Temp Liq Lic Staff Report Date of Meeting: January 21, 2020 To: City Council From: Brenda Eklund, Deputy Clerk Re: Fire & Rescue Relief Association Temporary Liquor License Background: The Fire and Rescue Relief Association will be holding their annual Fire Ball on Saturday, February 29, 2020. The dance will be held at the Community Center and is the major fund - raising event for the Relief Association. Issue: Should the Council approve a temporary liquor license for the sale of beer at the Fire and Rescue Relief Association’s annual Fire Ball event on February 29, 2020? Proposal Details: The Relief Association has submitted the required permit application. Liquor liability insurance coverage will need to be obtained by the Fire Relief Association. Legal counsel from the League has advised that relief associations purchase the required liquor liability coverage separately for their events serving alcohol, and not as an addition to the City’s liability policy. Fiscal Impact: The City waives the $50 fee for this license. Options: 1) Approve the Temporary On-Sale Liquor License for the Scandia Fire and Rescue Relief Association for February 29, 2020 at the Community Center, pending proof of liquor liability insurance coverage. 2) Do not approve the request for a license. 3) Make no decision at this meeting. Recommendation: Option 1.
