Body
SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
• At this time, vinous alcohol beverages (wine) are prohibited for consumption at Town-owned parks and facilities.
• Fermented malt beverages (beer and seltzers) are currently allowed with valid, approved permit.
• This ordinance would amend the Municipal Code to allow for wine consumption at Town-owned parks and facilities with a valid, approved permit.
• Spirits are not allowed under this permit.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
This change is in response to many requests from residents and event hosts to have wine at events. It is also in line with what many other municipalities in the region permit at their facilities. In addition, the ordinance revises the language in section 7-6-5(M)(1) to improve clarity and readability.
