Agenda Item Brief:

This request is the first reading for a Code Amendment to Title 9 Section 9.34.25 of the Sparks Municipal Code to provide a specific size of cup for serving alcoholic beverages during permitted special events on public property.

Background:

Currently Sparks Municipal Code 9.34.25 requires a few limitations on serving alcohol during special events – specific alcohol percentage (no more than 12%) specific containers (no glass or cans). The cup size is a further extension of these limits to regulate how alcohol is served.

Analysis:

This code amendment adds to Title 9 Section 9.34.25, gives the event producers and vendors a manner to keep alcohol regulated by servers at the events held on public property. This is to avoid over serving and over consumption, which could lead to public safety issues.
