Committee recommends approval of 13th Punta Gorda Puff Crawl permit with conditions on premises and officer staffing

Mike Kolgan, identified as a co-founder of the pub-crawl event, told the committee the organizers do not sell alcohol and will coordinate with participating bars. City staff cautioned that if participating bars allow patrons to walk in the public right-of-way with alcohol, an extension of the premise permit and a detail officer will be required; otherwise the bars would bear responsibility for compliance.

Urban Design and utilities staff again requested IRS tax-exemption documentation (if applicable) and the name and license of any person or company selling or serving alcohol; sidewalks must remain open and accessible. The committee recommended approval with those conditions by voice vote.
