RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN PUBLIC PLACES ON THE 200 BLOCK OF EAST FIRST STREET IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SUPER BIG BLOCK PARTY AND SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
CITY PROPOSAL:
BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to Section 8-22(b) of the Duluth City Code, the Duluth City Council hereby authorizes consumption of alcoholic beverages in public places on the 200 block of East First Street as shown on Attachment A on August 19, 2017, to coincide with the Super Big Block Party special events license, provided that all alcoholic beverages consumed outside of the desig-nat-ed serving areas of licensed establishments be consumed only from paper or plastic cups.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the dates of this authority may be amended, in the case of inclement weather, if requested in writing by the licensee and approved by the administration.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution waives the drinking in public prohibition for the 200 block of East First Street in conjunction with the Super Big Block Party special event permit. Such waiver for special events is authorized by Section 8-22(b) of the City Code and is requested by the police department after consultation with the race sponsors to eliminate the law enforcement problem of having to take action against persons wandering beyond the designated service areas with drinks. For safety purposes, all alcoholic beverages consumed in these areas will have to be in paper cups.
