CC Work Session <br />Meeting Date: 08/13/2012 <br />By: Jim Way, Police <br />Title: <br />Discuss Alcohol Policy in Public Places <br />2. 2. <br />Background: <br />The Ramsey Rail Station is scheduled to open in the fall of 2012. It is anticipated that citizens will be using the <br />train to get to and from MN Viking games as well as Twins games from the Ramsey location. It has been suggested <br />that people be allowed to "tailgate" in the plaza area around the parking ramp or maybe even in the ramp. As part of <br />the "tailgating" activity, "tailgaters" would be allowed to barbecue and consume alcohol. <br />The City is currently working with an establishment that would allow alcohol to be consumed off of its premises. <br />City code does not currently allow for such activity based on Article I, Sec 6-4.- Consumption in Public Places. <br />Observations: <br />Council will need to discuss restrooms, portable toilets and trash. Discussion on whether or not to allow <br />"tailgating" in the parking ramp, plaza or surface lots. Does the City allow grills in the ramp? <br />Funding Source: <br />None <br />Council Action: <br />Staff is looking for direction on whether or not to make changes to the existing City Code for consumption in <br />public places, or only to allow consumption from a licensed establishment. <br />Attachments <br />Alc in Pub Places <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Darren Lazan Jo Thieling 08/09/2012 09:50 AM <br />Dean Kapler Jo Thieling 08/09/2012 11:06 AM <br />Tim Gladhill Jo Thieling 08/09/2012 11:06 AM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 08/09/2012 12:07 PM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 08/09/2012 12:08 PM <br />Form Started By: Jim Way Started On: 08/06/2012 02:29 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 08/09/2012 <br />
