Riley County staff presented and the commission approved an updated home-rule resolution changing alcohol rules for SECO Park.
Jacob Hansen, representing county administrative staff, described the resolution as "an updated home rule resolution regarding the prohibition of, basically, alcohol sales on SECO Park and what the exceptions are," and said the draft narrows exceptions to a designated area for the Riley County Fair and the Little Apple May Fest, with indemnity and insurance requirements.
Hansen explained the resolution repeals the prior April resolution and clarifies prohibited activities, parking and permitted exceptions. After discussion about indemnity and insurance requirements, the board moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote; commissioners signed the document at the end of the meeting.
The change allows event organizers to sell alcohol within board-approved, designated areas for the specified events only; staff said organizers must provide indemnity agreements and insurance annually and the county will continue to disclaim liability for event-related losses.
