Subject: Request from the Parks and Recreation Department for authorization to provide for
the sale of beer and wine at the monthly Food Truck Friday event.
Background Summary:
The Parks and Recreation Department began offering a monthly Food Truck Friday event for the community at
Bill Breeze Park and Municipal Lakefront Park in September of 2011. The event has been very well received
and supported by the community; attendance has averaged approximately 800 to 1000 people per event. In
addition to the food truck event the Department also provides a movie on an outdoor screen, which is shown at
the same time the food trucks are serving so that people may enjoy a dinner and a movie in the park.
Over the last several events there have been inquiries from the people attending as to whether beer and wine
would be provided as part of the event. The Parks and Recreation Department has always been open to new
opportunities that would improve the event and generate additional revenue. Therefore, the Parks and
Recreation Department is requesting permission to provide for the sale of beer and wine at this event. The sale
of beer and wine would be conducted by a licensed and insured vendor, meeting the City requirements, and the
consumption of alcohol would be confined to the areas associated with the Food Truck event within Bill Breeze
Park and Municipal Lakefront Park and as indicated on the attached map.
To ensure the safety of the public, Parks and Recreation staff has met with the Police Department and Risk
Management Department to carefully analyze issues that could potentially occur when alcohol is present. The
Police Department will be providing an officer at the event to monitor the activities, and the Parks and
Recreation staff will provide signage advising people as to where alcohol may be consumed. The sale of beer
and wine would coincide with the same hours of the Food Truck event, between 6:00 pm. to 9:00 pm.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commission authorize the Parks and Recreation Department to provide
for the sale of beer and wine at the monthly Food Truck Friday event?
Recommendations
Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commission authorize the Parks and Recreation
Department to provide for the sale of beer and wine at the monthly Food Truck Friday event.
