Re: Washington County Historical Society Temporary On-Sale Liquor License
Background:
The Washington County Historical Society is planning a Beer Tasting fund-raising event on
Saturday, June 20, 2020. The event will be held at the Hay Lake School Museum complex. They
have hosted similar events every year since 2008.
Issue:
Should the Council approve a temporary liquor license for the Washington County Historical
Society for their Beer Tasting fund-raising event on June 20, 2020?
Proposal Details:
The Washington County Historical Society has submitted the required permit application and
fee for this event. Under Section 22 (H) of Ordinance No. 93, the Historical Society is eligible for
a temporary license in connection with a social event sponsored by a club, charitable, religious
or other nonprofit corporation that has existed for at least three years. The certificate of liquor
liability is being processed by the organization’ insurance agent, and will need to be received
before the application is sent to the State.
Fiscal Impact:
None
Options:
1) Approve the Temporary On-Sale Liquor License for the Washington County Historical
Society for June 20, 2020 at the Hay Lake School Museum on the condition that the
certificate of liquor liability is received.
2) Do not approve the request for a license.
3) Make no decision at this meeting.
Recommendation:
Option 1.
