City Council
Agenda Item Summary

Name: Consideration of a Resolution authorizing the sale of wine by Pacific Repertory Theater (PacRep) at its Forest Theater performances from August 19, 2010 to October 17, 2010.

Description: Pacific Repertory Theatre has requested Council authorization to sell wine at its Forest Theater performances between August 19, 2010 and October 17, 2010.

The primary goal of selling wine on site is to help PacRep raise funds to support its operations. Wine would only be sold before performances and during intermissions.

Overall Cost:
City Funds: N/A
Grant Funds: N/A

Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Resolution.

Important Considerations: City Council approval is necessary for City user groups to sell alcoholic beverages at a public facility, such as the Forest Theater. Proceeds from all wine sales will benefit the nonprofit activities of PacRep as well as the City, which receives 10% of all concession sales as a condition of its user agreement.

Decision Record: None.
