Yesterday afternoon the Administrative Committee had a discussion of the =
possible need to update our policy relative to catered events on city =
property that include alcohol. We heard from a number of local business =
owners as to how this might impact their ability to participate in these =
events. No formal action was taken. We requested staff provide =
additional information regarding what the liability exposure is to the =
city. I know I am personally interested in hearing from affected =
businesses. Do you carry liquor liability? Can you get a certificate of =
insurance naming the city as an additional insured? Is the cost =
something you can reasonably cover? I believe our two goals are:
1.. Make certain the city and it's citizens are adequately protected.
2.. We don't adversely affect the use of the 1912 building because of =
added insurance costs.
Assuming it is determined coverage is something the city will require of =
caterers, I hope the two aren't mutually exclusive. Thanks again to the =
business owners who took the time yesterday to come and offer input. I =
believe this may be back on our agenda March 3rd.=20
