Others Present: Kathryn Roos, Mark Neal, Scott Ford, Phil St. Clair, Chuck Bulot
Agenda: Bill No. 29 -13 Sale of Alcoholic Beverages in Parks
Councilmember Henry Davis Chairperson of the PARC Committee, with all Council members in
attendance, opened the meeting by recognizing Phil St. Clair, Parks Superintendent to make his
presentation. Through the Park Department with the approval of the Board of Park Commissioners, the
City was requesting in bill 29 -13 that the sale of liquor be added to the already approved sale of beer
and wine at the City's two golf course clubhouses. Phil explained the City already has three -way licenses
for both Erskine and Elbel Clubhouses. Permission to sell hard liquor would create additional revenue
for the golf course operation and would discourage golfers from carrying in hard liquor as was currently
suspected.
Phil's request generated a number of Council comments. Derek Dieter wondered about the pricing of
drinks recognizing competition from other courses including Blackthorn. Phil said the Park Board would
have to set and approve any price schedules. Valerie Schey wondered about liability issues. Phil said
alcohol sales are currently and will continue to be monitored. Oliver Davis wanted to talk about park
police issues including needed training. Chairperson Henry Davis said, in the interests of time, those
issues could be discussed at another time.
In due course Gavin Ferlic motioned bill 29 -13 be sent to Council favorably. Tim Scott seconded Support
was unanimous. Henry adjourned at 3:53 P.M.
Respec ully Submitted,
Henry Davis Jr., Chairperson
PARC Committee
