§ 12.28.180. Security generally, alcoholic beverages.

A.

Security is required for any event involving the consumption of alcoholic beverages or any other event at which the city determines that potential risk to public order necessitates a security presence. Security is also available at the request of the lessee.

B.

Unless otherwise approved by the city, required security shall be provided by city police officers under the supervision of the chief of police. The city in its sole discretion, acting through the civic center manager and the chief of police, will determine the number of officers required for security. As a matter of policy, a minimum of two officers is required for an event at which alcohol is consumed, but the city may require more, as provided above.

C.

If security is required, lessee shall pay to the city a security fee of $30.00 per hour per officer. This security fee is in addition to the rental fee and is payable along with the rental fee at least 30 days in advance of the event.

D.

The lessee or user is responsible for assuring that no Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code violation occurs on-premises during the use. Any such violation shall cause an immediate termination of the use, and the city police are thereupon authorized to remove all persons from the premises and to close the premises.
