Dear Vail Merchant,
The approach of spring brings with it the excitement of high school proms, graduation and the air of
celebration. Unfortunately these celebrations have traditionally been times when teenagers involve
themselves in risk taking behaviors such as drinking alcohol, using illegal substances and/or driving or
riding with someone else under the influence.
The law enforcement agencies in Eagle County are asking you to work with us to insure a safe and happy
spring season for our kids and those they come in contact with. Our goal is to provide a community
environment in which not one fatality or serious injury is sustained to any member of our community due
to poor decision based upon risk taking behavior that could have been prevented.
Local law enforcement has joined together and will be providing party patrols and compliance checks
throughout the spring prom and graduation season. The goal of these police activities is to reduce the
opportunity for our kids to become involved with drugs and alcohol. If we all work together, we can
establish an environment where our events are as safe as possible, while still allowing the kids an
opportunity to express themselves.
The Colorado Liquor and Beer Codes, specifically 12 -47 -901 (1) (a), C.R.S., states "it is unlawful for any
person to sell, serve, give away, dispose of, exchange, or deliver or permit the sale, serving, giving, or
procuring of any alcohol beverage to or for any person under the age of twenty -one years, to a visibly
intoxicated person, or to a known habitual drunkard."
Please help us achieve our goals by reviewing your policies, procedures and practices on the sale of
alcoholic beverages to underage persons with your staff to insure that your business is in compliance on
every sale. Violations of this state law can result in a criminal summons being issued and/or administrative
hearings with the local or state licensing authority. Specific information regarding "best practices" can be
accessed at your local law enforcement agency or through the State of Colorado's Liquor Enforcement
Division.
"TIPS" training is also available and is designed to educate servers of alcoholic beverages in their
responsibilities. Please indicate your interest in providing this training for your staff by calling
Commander Joe Russell with the Vail Police Department. His direct line is 479 -2329.
Please don't hesitate calling us if you have questions or other ideas on how to safeguard our communities.
Sincerely,
Dwight Henninger
Chief of Police
Vail Police Department

(the licensee ). The VLLA hereby finds that there is sufficient evidence to
justify a show cause hearing and ossible license suspension. p p The parties have agreed
that as a condition of the licensee's hotel and restaurant liquor license and in lieu ieu of
holding a show cause hearing or other disciplinary hearing at this time the licensee will
agree to the following stipulations:
1 The Licensee shall immediate) cease and desist an and all r
. Y y programs or
specials offering
it you can drink" for a one price admittance. This p rohibition shall
include, but shall ram not be limited to the current Monday ni ht ro wherein bar
9 p 9
patrons are permitted to pay a ten dollar ($10.00) admittance fee and then are provided
alcoholic beverages at no additional charge. This prohibition on "all you can drink"
specials shall extend until such time as the Licensee presents to the VLLA a plan to
better monitor and safely administrate such programs, and said Ian is expressly
p P Y
approved by majority vote of the VLLA.
2. During concerts and other large events at the licensed remise '
g premises, the Licensee
shall provide at least one event staff employee with a crowd counter to ensure strict
compliance with the occupancy load requirements of the licensed remises. Failure e to
control occupancy requirements may lead to a reduction in the occupancy loads for this
establishment.
3. The Licensee agrees to have all employees TIPS trained b June 9 2004 an
Y d
provide proof to the VILLA of said training. In addition, if an staff is hired b the licensee
Y Y
subsequent to June 9, 2004, the Licensee shall provide proof of TIPS training for those
individuals within sixty (60) days of their employment.
4. The Licensee expressly acknowledges that this stipulation involves alleged
P g
violations of over service between the dates of February 4, 2003, and March 2, 2004.
Any and all violations occurring after March 2, 2004, are not addressed herein and may
be viewed by the VLLA as additional offenses.
7
s
a
5. The Licensee hereby admits that on or about January 7, 2004, a bottle of alcohol,
to wit: a liter bottle of Makers Mark Whiskey, was removed from the licensed premises
by an employee of the licensee. The licensee further admits that, even though he may
not have been personally involved in the alleged violation, this conduct constitutes a
violation of C.R.S. § 12-47 -411, which provides that spirituous liquors be consumed on
the licensed premises. By admitting this violation and entering this stipulation, the
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that he is admitting that a violation of liquor
licensing laws has occurred as alleged and that no further evidence or proof thereof shall
be required to establish a violation. Licensee further agrees that as a result of this
violation: the liquor license of the Licensee shall be suspended for a period of ten (10)
days, with seven (7) of those days to be held in abeyance for a period of one year on the
condition that no other liquor license violations occur within said period and that the
Licensee complies with all terms hereof. The parties hereto further agree that the three
days which the license shall be suspended shall be Saturday, July 3; Sunday, July 4;
and Monday, July 5, 2004.
6. The licensee further stipulates and acknowledges that he is entitled to have an
attorney represent him in this matter.
7. The stipulations contained herein are set forth as minimums. Licensee should
add to these requirements as necessary for each particular event as Licensee will be
held liable if the requirements are insufficient to ensure a safe and orderly establishment.
This matter will be reviewed by the ALA after the summer season of 2004, to determine
if this stipulation has alleviated potential problems as discussed herein. Licensee may
also be brought before this board prior to said review for disciplinary actions for future
violations of the liquor code not contemplated by this stipulated agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Stipulation to be executed this
13th day of April, 2004.
