Chamber of Camnerce Earlene Roach, County Liquor Inspector, presented a Special Events Permit for Eagle Valley Chamber of Commerce for August 4, 5, 6 & 7, 1994. She stated all documentation is in order and the application has been changed to reflect dates and times as shown in a contract between Eagle County and the Chamber of Commerce, signed last week. Ms. Roach suggested the Board consider allowing the Chamber of Commerce to license the entire Fairgrounds. She stated this would protect the Chamber from individuals wandering the Fairgrounds with alcohol in their hands and would make the Chamber of Commerce res~nsible for not allowing other alcohol into the Fairgrounds. Discusslon followed on double standards relating to extending the boundaries but not allowing consumption in those areas. Commissioner Gates stated his reasoning was to protect the Chamber if an individual wandered innocently from the arena area with alcohol in hand. Kevin Lindahl, representing the Chamber of Commerce, commented if alcohol could only be sold in the arena area then perhaps the Chamber would prefer not to have the entire premises licensed. He stated if licensed, the Chamber would have the responsibility of patrolling all areas for violators. Earlene Roach agreed if an individual leaves the licensed area with alcohol in hand it would be the Chamber's responsibility. She stated there would be the possibility of revoking the license. Chai:rrnan Pro-tem Johnson requested the Chamber indicate on the map the area in which they prefer to be the licensed premises. Mr. Lindahl outlined the rodeo arena area on the premises map, including the stands. The Board determined the arena area and the stands shall be licensed with signage indicating the East will be for families wishing to be away from the alcoholic beverages. Commissioner Gates moved to approve the Special Events Permit for the Chamber of Commerce with the following conditions: 01) the applicant shall not serve alcohol to intoxicated individuals or known drunks 02) the Chamber of Commerce shall have an individual posted at the rodeo arena entrance at all times to insure alcohol is not entering or leaving the premises. Employees of the Chamber may and shall search coolers, bags, boxes or containers for alcohol coming into the licensed area. Alcohol shall not be allowed to leave the premises. Alcohol not purchased from the Chamber shall not be allowed 03) intoxicated individuals shall be reported to the Eagle County Sheriff's Office and shall leave the premises 04) signs posted at gates and entrances shall be posted by the 1 Chamber of Commerce.
