RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution (1) modifying a previously granted Beer Garden permit to allow the Culver City Centennial Celebration Committee (CCCCC) to conduct a Beer and Wine Garden in Veterans Memorial Park during the Birthday Party in the Park; and (2) rescinding Resolution No. 2017-R082.
BACKGROUND
On August 14, 2017, the City Council considered City sponsorship of the Closing Events and approval of a Beer Garden Permit for the Birthday Party in the Park. The City Council took the following actions:
1. Determined the total amount of assistance [City sponsorship], not-to-exceed $9,600, as noted in this staff report for the Centennial Birthday Party in the Park and the Incorporation Day Event (Centennial Closing Events) at City Hall; and,
2. Designated the Centennial Events as City-sponsored events; and
3. Approved a License Agreement between the City and CCCCC for the use of City property, equipment, in-kind staff time, and costs; and
4. Authorized the City Attorney to review/prepare the necessary documents; and
5. Adopted Resolution No. 2017-R082 granting a permit to the CCCCC for a Beer Garden to be conducted in Veterans Park during the September 16th Birthday Party in the Park Event with language in 1A modified to clarify that all proceeds go to cover costs associated with the event.
On August 28, 2017, the City Council provided consensus to agendize a discussion to amend the Permit to include the sale of wine as part of a “Beer and Wine Garden” Permit at the Birthday Party in the Park. Promotional materials for the Birthday Party in the Park event state that the proceeds from the Beer (and Wine) Garden will benefit the victims of Hurricane Harvey.
DISCUSSION
The CCCCC has requested authorization to conduct a Beer and Wine Garden at the September 16 Birthday in the Park event at Veterans Park, similar to the beer/wine gardens held during Fiesta La Ballona and the Car Show. The Exchange Club of Culver City has indicated its interest to operate the Beer and Wine Garden from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm. The Police Department will be present at this event.
In the past, the insurance requirement for the Fiesta La Ballona and the Car Show Beer and Wine Gardens was one million dollars ($1,000,000) general liability insurance, per occurrence, including liquor liability. Staff recommends that the CCCCC have the same general liability insurance requirement for the Beer and Wine Garden at the Birthday Party in the Park. According to the conditions of the proposed Permit, the CCCCC must submit the required evidence of insurance at least two weeks prior to the Birthday Party in the Park. The City Attorney’s Office will review the insurance policy and verify that, in addition to coverage for general liability, the policy includes liquor liability coverage and has added the City of Culver City as an additional insured.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact to adopt a Resolution approving the Beer and Wine Garden Permit for the CCCCC Birthday Party in the Park event on September 16, 2017.
