§ 9.10.060. Permit application for alcoholic beverages.

Application forms for an exclusive permit specifically regarding the use, consumption and/or possession of alcoholic beverages may be obtained from the chief of police. A permit will only be issued following the review and approval of the application form by the chief of police. If the permittee intends to sell alcoholic beverages, an appropriate permit must first be obtained from the department of alcoholic beverage control and a copy of that permit attached to the application for exclusive permit. Such permit must be applied for no earlier than thirty days and no later than five days prior to the date of event. Permits will normally be valid for one day only, except for activities requiring a seasonal permit. In any event, the validity of such a permit shall not exceed six months. A permit for the use of alcoholic beverages is not valid in or around play areas, or other areas which are primarily for the use of small children.

In the event a permit for consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages is denied by the chief of police, the party requesting the permit may appeal the denial to the city council via the city manager. An appeal must be filed within five days of the permit denial. The city manager may, upon review, issue the permit without full city council review.
