AN ORDINANCE -OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA AMENDING CHAPTER 19, ARTICLE 61, SECTION 19 -61(a) OF THE
SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE AS TO LIMITED SALE OF ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES IN PUBLIC PARKS
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The City of South Bend Department of Parks & Recreation has been authorized for
many years by the Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission (ATC) to sell alcoholic beverages,
including liquor, within its municipal golf course club houses, Elbel and Erskine, although it has
not previously done so. The regulated service of liquor beverages within golf course club houses,
and often, upon the golf courses themselves, is fairly common practice within the golf industry
generally, and would be welcome and desirable by the users of the City's municipal golf courses,
Furthermore, restricted sales of liquor beverages has occurred for some time at the Blackthorn
Golf Course, also owned by the City, but managed through the South Bend Redevelopment
Commission, and it is appropriate to have uniformity in the operation of all golf courses owned
by the City of South Bend. To achieve this purpose, an amendment of South Bend Municipal
Code Chapter 19, Article 61, Section 19 -61(a) is required.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA as follows:

and hereby is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Re: Ordinance of the Common Council- Amending Chapter 19, Article 61, Section 19 -61(a) Of The
South Bend Municipal Code As To Limited Sale Of Alcoholic Beverages In Public Parks
Dear. President Dieter,
Please find attached a bill amending the South Bend municipal code to allow the sale of liquor at the
municipal golf courses of South Bend.
Mr. Randy Nowacki, Director of Golf and I will be happy to present this bill to the Common Council at
the appropriate committee and council meetings. It is requested that this bill be filed for first reading on
June 10, 2013 with second reading and public hearing, as well as third reading scheduled for June 24,
2013.
This ordinance will allow the sale of liquor at Elbel and Erskine Park Golf Courses, which are currently
limited to beer and wine sales. The sale of liquor is a common practice at golfing facilities nationally and
locally. Most local courses, including Blackthorn, have this option available to their patrons.
The golf courses currently possess a three -way alcohol license, but are prohibited from liquor sales by
municipal code. This ordinance will amend that section of the code to allow liquor sales.
Thank you for your attention to this request. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel
free to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Phil St. Clair
Executive Director
Department of Parks and Recreation
South Bend, Indiana
