AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPLY FOR LIQUOR LICENSES
ON BEHALF OF THE CITY
WHEREAS,the City owns and operates several facilities that allow persons to rent space for
events; and
WHEREAS, City policy currently allows such persons to invite guests to attend private
events and gratuitously serve alcohol that the event holder purchases; and
WHEREAS, one such facility is the Northside Aztlan Community Center("NACC"); and
WHEREAS, in staff s opinion, the number of prospective event holders at the NACC is
substantially reduced due to the cost of purchasing alcohol to serve gratuitously to guests; and

serve alcohol at other City facilities such as the Lincoln Center and the Senior Center; and
WHEREAS, City staff has submitted a request for proposals through its purchasing process
to hire a vendor at the Northside Aztlan Community Center on two separate occasions with no
success; and
WHEREAS, if the City were to obtain a liquor license for NACC or any other City facility,
staff believes that the revenues generated from alcohol sales would cover expenses associated with
managing the licensed premise and purchasing alcohol for resale and would generate revenue for the
City; and

for liquor licenses at City facilities other than NACC; and
WHEREAS,the City Manager is the appropriate person to apply for liquor licenses on behalf
of the City; and

appropriate to jointly apply for liquor licenses on behalf of the City and to register as managers of
the licensed premises; and
