Council requests more information on the closed in smoking area. Mayor Korsvold opened the public hearing at 6:40pm. Special Event Permit for the Eastern Plains Animal Welfare Alliance on 5/31/2014 at Parmer Park. Mayor Korsvold shared that the Council received a letter from Jeanie Walters in opposition of the special event permit to serve liquor at Parmer Park on May 31, David Williams spoke for the group that is in opposition of the Special Event Permit that Eastern Plains Animal Welfare Alliance requested for 5/31/2014 at Parmer Park. Williams informed Council that they have about 80 signatures on the letter that Jeanie Walters submitted to the City Clerk. Williams stated that they are not opposing the organization that is requesting the permit; they are opposing the sale of alcohol in the park. Williams shared that they would like to see the City of Burlington and Kit Carson County be a role model for the rest of the Country to help curb alcohol and substance abuse. Williams shared many facts on the negative affect of alcohol that would help support their opposition of allowing alcohol to be served in the park. City Attorney Grinnan advised the Council on their role as the licensing authority. It is the Council s job to be sure that the EPAWA group has safe guards in place to have the alcohol and have followed the application process. Elizabeth Teman from EPAWA shared the process that will be in place if alcohol is allowed to be served. Williams asked if all of the people serving alcohol will have the server training. Williams asked Grinnan if all people serving alcohol have to be server trained. Grinnan stated he was not sure of the requirements. Williams spoke with someone in Denver who is in charge of liquor licensing and enforcement that told him all people serving alcohol had to be server trained.

3 Foth asked Teman where she received her information on the success of the beer gardens. Foth shared that the beer gardens at Old Town were not successful fund raisers. Foth also shared as a fiscal supporter of EPAWA she would like to see an alternative fund raiser. Teman shared that Chamber has been very successful with beer gardens as a fund raiser. Grinnan redirected. Grinnan advised the Council on their role. Do they have a good plan in place and have they followed the process? Williams feels the choices we have are: has EPAWA followed the licensing process or is Council welling to change the ordinance. Thomas McCauley shared his concerns with allowing the alcohol in the park. Mayor asked Teman if they are using wrist bands and will limit the amount of alcohol. Teman shared that they will have wrist bands and will limit the amount of alcohol. Williams asked how the public would know an event is going to take place. Clark shared that we post the premise ten day prior to the public hearing. Williams asked if the servers have to be server trained. Clark shared that the special events do not have to be server trained. Williams asked if there was an exception to the server training requirement in the City laws. Clark shared that she would print off the State requirement if Williams would like to come to City Hall and get a copy. Williams stated the only other option is to have the Council change the ordinance. Foth said legally their only option is if EPAWA has completed and followed the requirements. Foth asked Clark if these steps have been followed. Clark responded that they have followed all requirements. Mayor asked if Council has any other comments.
