Title
A Resolution Temporarily Suspending A Cereal Malt Beverage License - Sedgwick County Zoological Society.
Body
Recommended Action: Approve the resolution
The Sedgwick County Zoological Society, Inc ("Zoo") currently holds a cereal malt beverage license issued by the Sedgwick County Board of Commissioners which expires on December 31, 2014. The Zoo is requesting and does hereby consent to and support the voluntary suspension of its license for three (3) days, specifically Friday, September 5, Saturday, September 6, and Sunday, September 7, 2014 to facilitate the "Zoobilee" event at the Sedgwick County Zoo during those days; as well for three (3) days for fall concerts on the following dates: Friday, October 3, 2014; Friday, October 10, 2014; and Friday, October 17, 2014. Because of a change in law in 2010, the Kansas State Department of Revenue no longer requires the Zoo to obtain a temporary permit. However, a suspension of the cereal malt beverage license remains necessary in order to comply with state law.
Financial Considerations: None
Legal Considerations: K.S.A. 2013 Supp. 41-2704(g) and K.S.A. 2013 Supp. 41-2708(a)(5) prohibit alcoholic liquor from being on a premises licensed for cereal malt beverage sales. K.S.A. 2013 Supp. 41-2703 places responsibility for licensing the retail sale of cereal malt beverages upon counties. In order to comply with statutes, limited suspension of the cereal malt beverage license is necessary and the county has the power to do so under K.S.A. 2013 Supp. 41-2703. A simple majority vote is required.
Policy Considerations: N/A
