Hockey Working With Licensee on Getting Beer Available at Games

     With a full schedule of hockey games coming to the Fairgrounds Arena, selling beer will require an individual licensing the facility for a period of time as securing individual catering permits for 30 to 40 separate dates is not practicle. The Privateers are working with a vendor, but City Council will have to grant  any such franchise.

     On a licensed premise, only the licensee can sell and other groups cannot come in for a day using a one day permit secured by a "not for profit."
     The matter is being reviewed by the City as the Privateers have been working with a local restaurateur and caterer on the matter.
      I will ask the City Attorney to outline the issue to Council on Monday.
