To: Honorable Mayor and Members of Town Council
From: Lisa Anderson, Deputy Town Clerk and Executive Assistant to the Town Manager
Title
Resolution: Designating Officers for the Red Hawk Ridge Hotel and Restaurant with Optional Premise Liquor License
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
The Town currently holds a Hotel and Restaurant with Optional Premise Liquor License at the Red Hawk Ridge Golf Course. Currently, all Town Council members are listed as Officers of the Town for the Town’s Liquor License; and the Deputy Town Clerk was asked if there was an alternative to listing Town Council members as the Officers for the Town on the Liquor License.
Discussion
Staff researched other municipalities that hold a liquor license and spoke with the State Liquor Authority on alternatives; and found that Town Council could pass a Resolution designating Officers for the Town’s Liquor License. Models have shown that at least one Town Council Member be listed as an Officer and one staff member. The State Liquor Authority also requests that at least one Town Council member be listed as an Officer.
Staff is proposing that the Director of Parks and Recreation be listed as one of the officers; as this position oversees the Golf Course operations. In addition, staff recommends that either the Mayor, Mayor Pro-Tem or a Town Council Liaison to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board be listed as the other Officer for the liquor license.
Budget Impact
The Town would realize minor savings. Currently, the Town must update the Officers when new Council Members are sworn in every two years. The state charges a fee of $100 per person changed. Changing to two Officers would reduce this fee assuming less frequent changes.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Resolution Designating Officers for the Red Hawk Ridge Golf Course Hotel and Restaurant with Optional Premise Liquor License.
Proposed Motion
“I move to approve the Resolution Designating Officers for the Red Hawk Ridge Golf Course Hotel and Restaurant with Optional Premise Liquor License.”
