Explanation
This ordinance will authorize and direct the Director of Recreation and Parks to grant consent to an organization to apply for permission to sell alcoholic beverages at the following 2009 event:
Short North Business Association for HighBall Halloween Masquerade on High, Oct. 31st.
This organization wishes to sell alcoholic beverages to eligible patrons on various city streets and city property to be used for the event. There were no reports of public intoxication at HighBall Halloween Masquerade on High last year.
The City of Columbus, acting by and through its Director of Recreation and Parks, is required to grant approval to the organizer of this event so they may obtain the required permit from the Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Liquor Control.

This legislation has the support of the charitable organization that will benefit from its passage. Event coordinator will still need to secure street closure signatures from neighborhood property owners before closing streets.
