PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of the Authority of a Special Events Permit for the Bright Future Foundation for Eagle County to host the 2010 "Connoisseurs Trail" Art special event at the location of Squash Blossom, 198 Gore Creek Drive, Vail, CO 81657 on Friday, March 5, 2010 from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Represented by Kristin Jennings and Sheri Mintz for the Bright Future Foundation for Eagle County Matt Mire, Town of Vail Attorney, stated that the liquor licensing authority must uphold and follow State of Colorado liquor laws. The public posting on the premises did not comply with State of Colorado regulations. Regulation 12-48-106 (2) states: "(2) Public Notice of the proposed permit and of the procedure for protesting issuance of the permit shall be conspicuously posted at the proposed location for at least ten days before approval of the permit by the local licensing authority." The posting of the premises was not in compliance with state law per Lorelei Donaldson. Lorelei proceeded to discuss the timeline and actions related to the violation. The posting was done by Lorelei Donaldson on Sunday, January 31, 2010 to comply with the 10 day requirement. She posted all 8 special event locations for the Connoisseur Trail event. When she attempted to post at the Squash Blossom, she was told she couldn't place it on the door and was directed to post it on the outside of the door onto the stucco building. She explained to the person in charge on Sunday that the notice must stay up until after the liquor board hearing on February 10,2010. She went by on Monday, February 1, 2010 at 9:45 a.m. and the notice was still up. She went by again on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 around 2:00 p.m. and the notice was gone. She went inside Squash Blossom and spoke with Amy, the manager. She asked were the poster was and was told it was in back. Amy said the poster kept falling off the building. Lorelei informed her she has told the clerk on Sunday that if it didn't stay up that it had to go on the door. This was not done. The poster was no where in sight. Lorelei informed Amy, the manager of Squash Blossom, that the required posting was not in compliance with State law. Lorelei then went back to the office and sent an email to Amy Phillips and Kristin Jennings regarding the issue. Kristin requested the item stay on the agenda. Lorelei spoke with Dan Gunter, at the state of Colorado Liquor Enforcement Division around 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Dan stated that if the posting requirement was not met, the special event permit must be denied per 12-48-106 (2). Kaye suggested that in the future maybe one of the applicants go with Lorelei to post the notices so they can explain the importance of the posting or to inform the establishments that the posting is a state requirement and must be complied with at the time they request use of the gallery space. Kristin asked if we could 'beautify" the poster some how. Lorelei said the poster information is regulated by the state and is there to inform people of a potential liquor license application at that location. She said some people may think it's a going out of business sign. KJ stated people read the information and know it's nota going out of business' sign. The Bright Future Foundation for Eagle County request for a special event liquor permit at the Squash Blossom was formally denied and in accordance with 12-48-106 (2). They cannot have alcoholic beverages on the Squash Blossom premises for the Connoisseurs Trail event. However they can have non-alcoholic beverages and food and still participate in the event. Amy Phillips requested Lorelei send her the information regarding the size of the posting notice and the information pertaining to what "conspicuously posted" definition means for future applications. She asked if the posting could be done inside of the location. Lorelei stated it must be facing outside in a window or door of the establishment, not the inside as everyone walking by must have the ability to attend and either support or protest the special event liquor permit application request per state regulations. Lorelei will follow up and send the requested information. 15. Any other matters before the authority. State compliance check document passed to authority for their review. Reviewed and compared Aspen and Vail compliance check information. Penny Harpe said she did a trade and was in Aspen a few weeks ago. She said they have a more laid back approach to monitoring liquor licenses. The Aspen police dept. and fire dept.'s are very different from Vail. 16.
