TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Isabel M. Garc?a-Kodron, City Clerk
DATE: April 1, 2014
SUBJECT:
A Resolution to extend the hours for the sale and consumption of liquor on Monday, May 5th, 2014 - Cinco de Mayo.
PURPOSE:
Certain establishments currently licensed to sell/serve liquor have requested an extended hour of sale and consumption of liquor for Monday, May 5th, 2014 (Cinco de Mayo).
BACKGROUND:
If approved, this would be the first time for City of Aurora to approve extended hours on "Cinco de Mayo" for license classifications A, B, E and F. Similarly to New Year's Eve and the day before Thanksgiving, Cinco de Mayo is a popular day for celebrations in Aurora. Some licensees will celebrate with live acts, and would like to be afforded the extra time they need to serve their customers.
DISCUSSION:
This resolution, if approved, would not affect the current wording within the Liquor Ordinance, nor would it cause a permanent change in the Ordinance, as it is for the approval of extended hours on a single occasion.
As required for other extensions, any licensees granted permission to extend their hours on the abovementioned day would be required to meet additional conditions as stated in the proposed resolution below.
If approved, the office of the City Clerk would provide the Police Department with a list of all establishments that have applied for and have been granted permission to extend their hours by one (1) hour, resembling the manner in which we handle the extended hours for New Year's Eve.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This resolution, if approved, would enhance business opportunities for establishments in connection with the upcoming observance of Cinco de Mayo.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request that this resolution be forwarded to the April 15th, 2014 Committee of the Whole meeting to seek a recommendation for approval by City Council on April 22, 2014.
