Special "One-Day" License-Administrative Fees & Alcohol Awareness
Administrative Fees for Special "One-Day" Licenses effective as of January 1, 2023. Fees will be assessed once per application based on expecting attendees.
a. $25 fewer than 500 attendees
b. $75 500 to 1,000 attendees
c. $150 1,001 to 3,000 attendees
d. $500 3,001 or more attendees
The Board reserves the right to assess additional administrative fees for events expecting 5,000 or more attendees.
Alcohol Awareness for Special "One-Day" Licenses effective as of January 1, 2023. Each Licensed event shall have all employees/volunteers serving or selling alcohol complete an Alcohol Awareness training program. The certified person(s) must be on the premises at all times the event is serving or selling alcoholic beverages. An up-to-date valid certificate shall be kept on site and presented to proper authority upon request.
ALCOHOL AWARENESS CHANGES
The Board has adopted a new Alcohol Awareness regulation that requires 50% of ON DUTY employees that are SELLING or SERVING alcohol must complete Alcohol Awareness training. For example, if you have 7 employees on shift and 3 are working in the kitchen and 4 are selling/serving alcohol, then 2 employees must be Alcohol Awareness Certified. We understand this process could take time; therefore, the Board is allowing a 6-month phase in period. For more information see regulation §6.0-Alcohol Awareness Program
