Summary Statement:
The Petaluma Community Center has had a number of events which included the use of alcohol as part of
the event. On some occasions the use of alcohol has resulted in violations of the law and City policy.
Events have become out of control, resulting in unacceptable behavior by event participants that have
resulted in private security and / or city staff being accosted. By the time police have been called, they
often face an unruly crowd. A proposed Alcohol Use Policy is designed to control the use of alcohol in
events using City facilities, and prevent out of control situations from developing that places event
organizers, the City of Petaluma and the general public at risk.
Recommended Citv Council Action/Suggested Motion:
The Recreation, Music and Parks Commission recommend approval of the proposed alcohol use policy.

I 1 1. EXECUTIVE SummARY:
12
13 The Petaluma Community Center is a primary meeting facility for a variety of public assembly
14 events involving large numbers of the public. One common denominator for events which have
15 problems involves the use of alcohol. Problems include minors drinking, event organizers
16 bringing in excessive amounts of alcohol in violation of the buildings use agreement, parties
17 becoming out of control despite the use of private security, inebriated individuals fighting or
18 causing problems in adjoining events, or events becoming so out of control that police are called,
19 often arriving to face an out of control and unruly crowd. .
20 The proposed Alcohol Use Policy is a compilation of the best points taken from policies
21 reviewed from other public agencies. The recommended policy is meant to prevent out of control
22 situations from developing that places event organizers, the City and the general public at risk.
23
24
25 2. BACKGROUND:
26
27 The Petaluma Community Center has several hundred events each year, with many events using
28 alcohol as part of the activity. Over the last few years, there has been an increase in the number
29 of events that allow minors to use alcoholic beverages. Also, despite the use of private security,
30 numerous problems related to uncontrolled alcohol consumption continue to occur. Problems
31 include fighting within the sponsoring event or different events in adjoining rooms, bringing in
32 additional amounts of alcohol in violation of the event contract, attacking building staff and / or
33 security forces, and making it difficult when police are called and try to control the situation.
34 (See attachment `A')
35
36 Staff has reviewed a number of Alcohol Use Policies from other public facilities, all of whom
37 have been faced with these problems. Agencies have used a number of different strategies, with
38 the most common including the use of large numbers of security, use of licensed caterers only,
39 no alcohol for events attended predominately by youth, cordoned off "beverage gardens," and
40 bartenders required to take a Responsible Beverage Server (RBS) training program.
41 In a number of these facilities a zero tolerance stance is used. If a minor is caught consuming
42 alcohol, the event organizer is given one warning, with the next infraction closing the event, with
43 all fees forfeited.
44
45 The proposed Alcohol Use Policy is comprised of components from a number of policies
46 reviewed. The intent is to allow events that desire to have alcohol as a part of their function to do
47 so, without making the activity so expensive or onerous that it becomes prohibitive to hold the
48 event. Requiring large amounts of security can be extremely expensive and there are other ways
49 to help control the situation. Above all, groups using public facilities must comply with state law
50 by prohibiting minors from drinking, controlling guests so that they do not become so unruly that
FA
they become a danger to themselves, other guests, the general public, and public safety officers
who may be called to quell a disturbance.
4 Main points of the proposed policy include:
5 a. Prohibition of alcohol for any events attended predominately by youth including, for
6 example, minors birthday parties and graduation parties. In other words, all events
7 involving groups under 21 years of age. This policy is taken from the City of
8 Oakland.
9 b. Restricts the use of alcohol to five hours for any event with alcohol service ending
10 one hour before the end of an event. This is a current city policy as recommended by
11 the Department of Health Services, County of Sonoma.
12 c. Description of forms of identification which are acceptable.
13 d. Description of what a standard drink is, the type and size of container it is to be
14 served in, and that non-alcoholic beverages must be offered.
15 e. Requirement that all alcohol must be brought into the facility prior to the event and
16 must be inventoried by building staff and security.
17 f. Requirement that either a licensed caterer must serve alcoholic beverages or a person
18 from the event must attend a Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) training, and will
19 then be responsible to ensure that all alcohol related policies are enforced. (Training
20 for the RBS program will be available in the City and possibly by city staff and
21 usually requires up to a 2 hour training).
22 g. Requirement that there must be a person identified to assist with arrangements for
23 alternative transportation for alcohol impaired individuals.
24 h. Reservation of City's right to close an event that violates the Alcohol Management
25 Policy.
26 i. Requirement that a clearly identified security person be posted at the alcohol serving
27 area.
28 j. Requirement that alcohol beverage servers be identified by the use of badges, vests,
29 etc., and not allowed to consume alcohol while working the event.
30
31 If the policy is approved, it would go into effect immediately. Those events that have already
32 booked an activity would be allowed to operate under the current policy. But since events are
33 typically booked 6-9 months in advance, immediate implementation of the policy allows future
34 potential facility users to plan accordingly. The proposed policy would apply to all City parks
35 and recreation facilities.
36
37 3. ALTERNATwEs:
38
39 a. Approve the Alcohol Use Policy as proposed.
40 b. Recommend changes to the proposed Alcohol Use Policy
41 c. Not recommend the proposed Alcohol Use Policy at this time.
42
43 4. FiNANuAL IMPACTS
44
45 With the enforcement of the proposed Alcohol Use Policy, there may be an initial decline in
46 some events using the Petaluma Community Center, but this trend will be reversed in a short
47 period of time. The biggest area of financial impact will be a reduction of call outs for police
48 services to events. Typically when police are called, the event in question may be close to being
49 out of control, which brings police officers into a potentially emotionally charged atmosphere.
50 Secondly, the potential for liability related to minors' drinking should be reduced.
51 A second area of financial impact is the reduced hazard to the general public of an inebriated
52 person driving following an event.

CONCLUSION:
In the past, event sponsors using City facilities may have allowed minors to consume alcohol, or
imposed few restrictions on minors consuming alcohol. In addition, some promoters have
continued to bring in alcohol after the start of an event, often in violation of their use permit.
Events would become out of control, with city staff and security personal intimidated and
harassed for performing their roles in trying to enforce city policy and state law. Police have
been called, and at times have been faced with an unruly crowd, and have been required to take
enforcement action in addition to merely quieting the crowd.
OUTCOMES OR PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS THAT WILL IDENTIFY SUCCESS OR
COMPLETION:
With the implementation of the proposed policy, measurements of successful performance would
include a decrease in public safety callouts, a reduction of problems at events, and a reduction of
negative reports issue by licensed security agencies.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Recreation, Music and Parks Commission recommend approval of the proposed Alcohol
Use Policy.

Petaluma, CA 94952
Dear Commissioners:
On behalf of The Petaluma Coalition of Prevent Binge Drinking, 1 wish to express
support for the Parks and Recreation Department's proposed policy changes to insure
events occurring in City of Petaluma operated facilities are family friendly and low risk
for alcohol related problems.
The proposed policies are the result of careful deliberative process on the part of the
Parks and Recreation staff in collaboration with the Coalition to Prevent Binge Drinking.
Jim Carr, the Parks and Recreation Director has been a member of this group since its
inception 12 months ago.
In our opinion the proposed policies are a no-nonsense way to reduce the increasing
alcohol-related problems occurring at events on city property where alcohol is served and
consumed. Problems including fights, public intoxication, property damage, and drinking
and driving are increasingly common at these events and take a tremendous toll on our
community. Fortunately they are all preventable. Prohibiting the consumption of alcohol
at "youth" events just makes good sense. It assures that children will be able to celebrate
in an environment free of the above mentioned problems and reinforces a community
norm that it is acceptable to enjoy a party without alcohol present.
For those events in which alcohol will be allowed, the proposed regulations will reduce
the likelihood that problems will occur. There is ample evidence supporting the fact that
simple measures including requiring servers of alcohol to receive Responsible Beverage
Service Training, insuring standard drink sizes, requiring identification to prevent sales to
minors, requiring security at the event among others will prevent and reduce the sorts of
problems prompting the development of these policies.
By adopting these policies the Commission can send a message recognizing that alcohol
has a place at some public events while simultaneously acknowledging and seeking to
reduce the risks associated with its use.
Our Coalition urges your support of the Alcohol Policies for City Facilities to improve
the health, safety, and quality of life in Petaluma. We look forward to your vote in the
affirmative.
Sincerely,
H, 55*4�

Dear Commissioners:
My name is Jessica Petrucci; I am 17 years old and a concerned senior at Casa
Grande High School. The reason that I am writing this letter is to support the
changes in policies that address alcohol at city facilities.
I have read the new guidelines and I feel that they are the answer to many
problems in our community such as: driving while intoxicated, property damage,
and unnecessary fights_
As a teenager, I see and hear about minors and youth consuming too much
alcohol illegally. Some of this is and can occur in city buildings like Luchessi.
feel that limiting the numbers of drinks per person, color coding cups, and having
all servers being trained by the Responsible Beverage Service will significantly
cut down on binge drinking of youth at events held in city buildings.
I hope that by adopting this new plan of action, people will see that there is zero -
tolerance for alcohol abuse.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to read my letter.
Sincerely,
Jessica Petrucci _

Dear Commissioners:
I wish to express support for the Parks and Recreation Department's proposed policy changes to
address alcohol related problems occurring in City of Petaluma operated facilities.
Twelve years ago, as a mother of a then 7a' grader at Petaluma Junior High, I was astounded to
learn that the average age that a teen tries a first drink is 12 1/z years old. Since that time I have
been involved in efforts to reduce the negative effects of teen drinking.
As a member of the Clean and Sober CAPS group, I worked to facilitate the creation of a Clean
and Sober classroom in South County to serve those high school students who have made a
commitment to be drug and alcohol free. A companion piece to helping the youth make good
life choices is encouraging the community to support those good choices — not to have the
community be part of the student's problem by facilitating youth drinking.
The proposed policies are the result of a careful deliberative process by the Petaluma Parks and
Recreation staff in collaboration with the Petaluma Regional Work Group, of which I am a
member, designed to prevent binge drinking. As a member of the Regional Work Group from the
beginning, Jim Carr, the Parks and Recreation Director has been a valuable source of information
about issues surrounding celebration events. taking place at the Community Center.
By adopting these policies the Commission can send a message recognizing that alcohol has a
place in public life while simultaneously acknowledging and seeking to reduce the risks
associated with its use.
My family urges your support of the proposed changes to the Alcohol Policies for City Facilities
to make the city of Petaluma part of the solution to control the negative effects of under aged
drinking. Vote "yes" to partner in our efforts to improve the health, safety, and quality of life in
Petaluma.

The Sonoma County Department of Health Services is committed to protecting the
community from known public health risks, including alcohol-related problems. These
problems include violence, public intoxication, sexual assault, property damage, and
drinking and driving. Data from the Sonoma County Healthy Kids Survey show that
these problems are not limited to those ages 21 and older. Results from this survey reveal
that Petaluma youth report high levels of alcohol use and ease of access to alcohol in the
community.
The proposed policies developed by the Petaluma Parks and Recreation staff prohibit
alcohol from being served at any youth -Focused event, such as under -21 birthday parties
bar mitzvahs, and quinceneras. For those events at which alcohol will be allowed, the
proposed regulations will reduce the likelihood that problems will occur. There is ample
evidence supporting the fact that simple measures such as requiring that servers of
alcohol receive Responsible Beverage Service Training, using standard drink sizes,
requiring identification to prevent sales to minors, and requiring security at the event can
prevent alcohol-related problems at events on city property where alcohol is served and
consumed.
Increasingly, cities across California and the nation are utilizing policy tools to assure
compliance with existing alcohol laws. By adopting these policies, the Commission will
help to assure that the children of Petaluma can celebrate the important milestones of
their lives in an environment free from alcohol-related problems. These policies can also
serve to reinforce a community norm that it acceptable to enjoy a party without alcohol
present and that, if it is present, there are measures that should be taken to reduce the
risks associated with its use.
On behalf of the Sonoma County Department of Health Services, l wish to express
support for the Parks and Recreation Department's proposed policy changes to insure that
events occurring in City of Petaluma facilities are safe, fancily friendly and of low risk for
alcohol-related problems.

On behalf of the �;'IcDowell Drug Task Force I urge you to adopt the
proposed policy changes in regard to the use of alcohol at events held
at the community center. This has been a long standing problem with
no one willing to step up to the plate until now.
Having read over the policy submitted by ,Tim Carr, the Parks uL Recreation
Director we can be assured that every step is being taken as far as
the city is concerned to eliminate the use of alcohol by underage party
attendees.
As a former Parks 'L Recreation Commissioner for eight years myself this
problem was never brought up generally for fear that it might offend
someone. The -McDowell Drug Task Force has been in the community for
24 years and has been at the forefront of alcohol education in the
schools through the Red Ribbon Week program, DARE, Project Graduation
and Every 15 Minutes and yet the beat has gone on and we have lost the
lives of precious youth because of poor adult decisions.
The McDowell Drug Task Force urges your support for the new policies
as outlined by the Director of Parks and Recreation and to vote to
pass this policy with great haste.
