§ 7.02.030 Drinking in public.

Unless otherwise authorized under this Section, no person shall consume alcoholic beverages or possess an open alcoholic beverage container in or on a public way, public property or private property open to the general public, unless such premises or location is licensed by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC), or a special event or temporary sales license has been issued pursuant to this Section and the appropriate fee as established by Council resolution has been paid.

Applications for OLCC special events or temporary sales occurring on private property open to the general public need only be presented to the Police Chief who shall have authority to approve the application, approve the application with conditions or deny the application. The Police Chief's decision shall be final.

Applications for OLCC special events or temporary sales of alcohol conducted within a City-owned building on non-licensed public property must be submitted to the City Manager's Office at least 3 days prior to the event at which the alcoholic beverages will be dispensed. In addition to the OLCC license application, the applicant must also complete a "City of Roseburg Indoor Event Permit" application, which shall require the applicant to:

Possess, maintain throughout the event and show proof of, a liquor liability insurance policy (with the City listed as an additional insured) in an amount which at least matches the tort claims limit as set by statute for bodily injury or property damage for a single occurrence, resulting from the service and/or consumption of alcohol at the event;

Hold the City harmless, indemnify and defend the City from all claims resulting from the service and/or consumption of alcohol at the event;

Certify that each individual who will dispense alcohol at the event has completed an official OLCC server's training course and possesses a current OLCC server's permit; provided however, charitable or non-profit organizations with proof of having a Registry Number issued by the Secretary of State's Office may use volunteer servers who have:

Received training from the applicant and;

Read, signed and dated the OLCC brochure provided for such volunteer servers.

Limit all alcohol sales to beer and wine only; and

Comply with all local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations, including those relating to the sales and dispensing of alcohol.

Applications for OLCC special events or temporary sales of alcohol held in a City park or in an outside area which will require use or closure of any public right-of-way must be presented to the City Manager's Office at least 30 days prior to the event. In addition to the OLCC license application, the applicant must complete a "City of Roseburg Outdoor Event Permit" application, which, in addition to all of the conditions required for a "City of Roseburg Indoor Event Permit" as listed in the above Subsection C, shall require the applicant to:

Identify what streets, if any, will need to be closed during the event and where barricades, signs and traffic control personnel will be stationed;

Obtain and provide a copy of a Food Handler's License from the Douglas County Health Department if food is to be served at the event;

Obtain and provide a copy of a City loud speaker permit if live music or entertainment is to be provided at the event;

Provide written plans for trash removal and clean-up after the event; and

Comply with all local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations, including those relating to the sales and dispensing of alcohol.

The City Manager shall forward each OLCC application to the Police Chief for investigation of the applicant's background. The Police Chief may recommend approval of the OLCC application after finding the applicant has no history of violation of state or local laws that would place in question the applicant's ability to conduct the event consistent with the public health and safety. After having the application reviewed and approved by the Police Chief, the City Manager may approve the OLCC application, along with the City Temporary Event application; approve the applications with conditions or deny the applications.

An applicant aggrieved by a decision of the City Manager under this Section may appeal that decision to the City Council. A written appeal accompanied with the appeal fee set by Council resolution must be filed with the City Manager within 48 hours after notice of the City Manager's decision. The appeal shall briefly state the basis for the appeal and the relief sought. At its next regular meeting if it occurs at least seven days before the proposed event, the Council shall consider the appeal. If the proposed event is scheduled to occur sooner than the seven days described in the foregoing sentence, the Mayor may designate a panel of three Councilors to consider the appeal. The grievant shall be given at least 24 hours' advance notice of the meeting of the panel. The decision of the Council or the panel shall be final.

This Section does not apply to events sponsored by the City with City Council approval.

Violation of any condition required by the City Manager in endorsing an OLCC application for the dispensing of alcohol at an event, or approving a Temporary Event Permit, under this Section constitutes a violation.

Upon approval by the Police Chief, a firearms discharge permit shall be issued upon payment of a fee set by Council resolution. Such permit shall be valid for a period of time determined by the Police Chief as necessary to address the purpose for the permit, but in no event to exceed one year. Renewal of such a permit shall be as provided for issuance of a new permit.

A firearms discharge permit shall be revoked if the Police Chief finds that the permittee has violated any provisions of this Section or any condition imposed in approving the permit, no longer qualifies for a permit under the terms of this Section or has discharged a firearm in such a manner as to pose a danger to other persons or property. Any revocation of a permit shall be effective immediately.
