He recommended that Council approve the concept, and instruct Staff to finalize details to bring back for approval. Councilman Henderson felt that concern of Staff relative to sale of beer did not appear to be justified, and felt this should be approved, in order to provide every opportunity for successful program. It was indicated concern was with regard to control, and City Manager advised that the Alcoholic Beverage Commission related to them that enforcement is not the concern of the Commission, but would have to be that of the City, and the group for which permit is given. He indicated in the discussions with the Committee they would attempt to determine ways to place effective controls, From Staff viewpoint, it would be preferable not to have sale of beer, but they would be willing, if it would have an important effect on the success of the Fiesta, to discuss the matter and whether it can be controlled.
