§ 6-4. Special event permit.

Any person or group of persons may be issued a temporary alcoholic beverage permit for special events, as defined under section 6-2. The fee for a temporary alcoholic beverage permit for special events shall be according to a fee schedule adopted by the board of commissioners. Such a permit has the effect of a license issued pursuant to the provisions of article IV and authorizes sale by the drink for on-premises consumption. The application for a special events permit must be filed with the police department at least 30 days prior to the date of the special event and must show reasonable provision for security during the event, particularly as to access by minors. Special event permits will not be granted for an event lasting a period of more than seven days. The event does not need to take place on licensed premises or in a permanent structure. No applicant will be granted more than six special event permits during any calendar year. An application submitted by the spouse, child, parent, brother, or sister of an applicant will be considered an application submitted by that applicant. Applicants must be a living person. The hours of any such special event must be between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday. Alcoholic beverages may be sold on Sundays pursuant to this section between the hours of 12:30 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. A special event permit may be immediately revoked by the police chief in an emergency situation in which continued operation of the premises by the licensee endangers the health, welfare or safety of the public.
