CC 12.10.19 Ofce of la4� INDIAN RIVER COUNTY MEMORANDUM TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Dylan Reingold, County Attorney DATE: December 2, 2019 SUBJECT: GYAC Limited Alcohol Consumption Ordinance ATTORNEY BACKGROUND. Per section 205.03(26) of the Indian River County Ordinance Code (the "Code"), no person can bring alcoholic beverages into any park or recreational facility or drink alcoholic beverages at any time in a park or recreational facility. However, per section 205.09 of the Code, the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages is permitted at the Indian River County Fairgrounds and at the South County Intergenerational Recreation Center so long as certain enumerated conditions have been satisfied. On January 6, 1998, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (the "Board"), as landlord, entered into a lease agreement with the Progressive Civic League of Gifford, Florida, Inc. as tenant for the Gifford Youth Activities Center at Gifford Park, which is located at 4715 43rd Avenue. On April 9, 2002, the Board considered a request made by the Gifford Youth Activity Center, Inc. with the support of the Progressive Civic League to become the tenant of the Gifford Youth Activity Center under a new lease. On November 19, 2002, the Board approved a new lease with the Gifford Youth Activity Center, Inc. as tenant, for a term of forty (40) years. On January 20, 2015, the Board extended the lease with Gifford Youth Activity Center, Inc., now known as the Gifford Youth Achievement Center ("GYAC"), to a 99 - year lease, with an ending date of December 31, 2114. Additional amendments to the lease have been approved by the Board so that GYAC could build an additional structure. On November 19, 2019, representatives from GYAC made a presentation about allowing alcohol consumption at the GYAC facility in conjunction with fundraising donor events. The lease is silent with respect to the issue of alcohol consumption. After the presentation, the Board voted to direct the County Attorney to draft an ordinance and lease amendment allowing for alcohol consumption under the following conditions: 1. GYAC must employ a caterer or similar agent to serve alcoholic beverages who holds all required state alcoholic beverage licenses; 2. GYAC must make adequate plans, and is ready, willing and able to implement such plans, for security or police presence; 53 C.l Isersilegisw,AppDaWILomATempOCL Txh ologieslemyPDF81@1,BCLa@340E9617i(BCLQ340E9617doe
