Board approves Foundation donor events at library and alcohol service

CARMEL — The Library Board of Trustees voted to authorize the Carmel Public Library Foundation to use library space for two upcoming donor events and approved recommending city council cosponsorship and the serving of alcohol at both.

A trustee moved to approve use of the library for the donor salute on March 8 and the Sterling Circle event on June 7, and asked whether a one-day alcohol permit requires police sign-off. A trustee answered that the one-day permit process is standard, fees are modest and the police chief signs off as part of the routine process.

Motion and result: The motion to approve the requests, including alcohol service for both events, was moved, seconded and carried with trustees recording approval.

What’s next: Staff will coordinate the permit process with the police department and take recommended cosponsorship to the city council for final action.
