 Consider revisions to the Special Event Permit

 Lutzke reviewed the draft text amendment submitted for Liquor
 Commission consideration that enters language requiring third party
 promoters to: have Naperville BASSET training; provide a letter of
 understanding which states that each person affiliated with the third party
 promoter has been advised of the rules and regulations regarding the
 preparation, sale, service and delivery of alcohol; undergo fingerprinting
 and a background check; provide evidence of dram shop insurance; and
 have responsibility of liability for the acts or omissions of their employees.
 The information is required to be filed with the Liquor Commissioner 14
 days in advance of the special event.

 Mayor Chirico clarified that this is an ordinance change that will have to go
 to the City Council for approval. Commissioners discussed how violations
 would be handled, whether to include explicit language that states that the
 Mayor has broad discretion to deny or approve a liquor application or
 approve it with restrictions, and whether to create a form or affidavit for
 third party promoters to complete and submit. Mayor Chirico stated the
 current liquor violations matrix would be used for violations. Lutzke agreed
 that a form or affidavit can be created and can include language stating that
 the Mayor has discretion to deny, approve or approve with restrictions any
