(1) It is unlawful to open a package containing liquor, or to possess or display an open container of liquor or to consume liquor in any City park or recreation buildings, facility or structures within the City without a current rental permit issued by the City. A rental permit may be issued upon application for such rental permit from the Administrative and Community Services Director of the City of Pasco or his designee. Such rental permit may be issued on the following conditions:

(a) The applicant must produce evidence that he has a banquet permit from the Washington State Liquor Control Board;

(b) Payment of rent in an amount 50 percent higher than the regular rental fee;

(c) The applicant deposits a sum determined by the Administrative and Community Services Director to be sufficient to insure proper performance of cleanup by the applicant subsequent to the event for which the banquet and rental permit is issued and for payment of damages;

(d) The applicant furnishes to the City evidence that he has in full force and effect a liability insurance policy that includes liquor liability, in such amounts and coverages as prescribed by the City’s insurer covering any bodily injury or property damage arising out of or in any way connected with the use of the City facility by the applicant. A surety bond approved by the City in the same amounts may substitute for insurance;

(e) The applicant must affirm in writing that the attendance at the function for which the rental permit is issued is not pursuant to a general invitation to the public, but pursuant to invitations to either specifically named individuals or to actual members of the applicant’s organization; provided, that the City Council may waive this requirement by resolution upon a showing by the applicant that special circumstances exist which would merit such waiver, and that adequate provisions have been made to accommodate the anticipated number of persons who attend the function for which the rental permit is issued;

(f) The applicant agrees that he or she will save the City of Pasco harmless from all losses or damage occasioned to him or her or to any third person or party by reason of any act or omissions of the applicant or anyone using the premises pursuant to the rental permit. He or she shall, after reasonable notice thereof, pay the expense of any suit which may be commenced against the City of Pasco by any third person alleging injury or loss by reason of such acts;

(g) The applicant shall furnish written confirmation from the Chief of Police of the City of Pasco that adequate provision has been made by the applicant for police, security, and traffic control, considering the type of activity purposed by the applicant;

(h) The applicant shall comply with all applicable fire codes and regulations.

(2) Any person violating this section shall be guilty of a Class 3 civil infraction and subject to the penalties imposed thereon by law. [Ord. 3757 § 1, 2006; Ord. 3495 § 1, 2001; Ord. 2333 § 1, 1982; Code 1970 § 9.20.020.]
