Latest version.

  • It shall be unlawful for any person or organization on a temporary basis to sell or offer to sell any alcohol beverage upon any village-owned property or privately-owned property within the village, except through the issuance of a temporary Class "B" fermented malt beverage license or temporary "Class B" wine license issued by the village board in accordance with state statutes and as set forth in this section. A temporary Class "B" fermented malt beverage license or temporary "Class B" wine license authorizing the sale and consumption of beer and/or wine on village-owned property or privately-owned property may be authorized by the village board provided the following requirements are met:

    (1)

    Compliance with eligibility standards. The organization shall meet the eligibility requirements of a bona fide club, association, lodge or society as set forth in Wis. Stats. § 125.26(6), and shall fully comply with the requirements of this section and section 24-100. Members of an organization which is issued a temporary license and who are issued operator's licenses for the event shall attend a pre-event informational meeting to learn what rules and regulations apply and what the responsibilities of the bartenders and organization will be.

    (2)

    Posting of signs and licenses. All organizations issued a temporary license shall post in a conspicuous location at the main point of sale and at all remote points of sale a sufficient number of signs stating that no fermented malt beverage shall be served to any person without proper identification.

    (3)

    Fencing. If necessary due to the physical characteristics of the site, the village board may require that organizations install a double fence around the main point of sale to control ingress and egress and continually station a licensed operator, security guard or other competent person at the entrance for the purpose of checking age identification. Where possible, there shall be only one point of ingress and egress. When required, the double fence shall be a minimum of four feet high and a minimum of six feet between fences.

    (4)

    Licensed operators requirement. A licensed operator shall be stationed at all points of sales at all times.

    (5)

    Waiver. The village board may waive or modify the requirements of this section due to the physical characteristics of the licensed site.

    (6)

    Insurance. The applicant for a temporary fermented malt beverage or wine license may be required to indemnify, defend and hold the village and its employees and agents harmless against all claims, death of any person or any damage to property caused by or resulting from the activities for which the permit is granted. As evidence of the applicant's ability to perform the conditions of the license, the applicant may be required to furnish a certificate of comprehensive general liability insurance with the village. The applicant may be required to furnish a performance bond prior to being granted the permit.
