- The Maryville Beer Board is hereby authorized and empowered in its discretion to permit the retail sale or free distribution of beer for consumption on public property within approved special event zone within the city pursuant to a special event permit at such times and as part of such events and under such terms and conditions, rules and regulations as the Maryville Beer Board may establish which are not inconsistent with state law regulating the sale of beer. No special event permit shall exceed a duration of forty-eight (48) hours.
- Such sales or the distribution of beer shall be done in accordance with the requirements of this chapter except for provisions relating to obtaining a permit.
- Any bona fide charitable, non-profit or political organization conducting a special event within the city in which beer is contemplated to be sold or given away (but not under any other permit or exception issued under this chapter) shall apply for a special event permit at least forty-five (45) days in advance of such proposed special event in writing to the Maryville Beer Board through the city recorder. No more than two (2) applications will be considered per year per organization. An application fee of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) must be submitted with the application.

- The identity of any persons, establishments or entities which are contemplated to participate in dispensing beer at locations other than their usual premises along with a copy of the current beer permit(s) for such participant vendor(s).

- Plans for security and policing the event; and
- Any other requirements deemed necessary by city staff.
- Upon receipt, the proposed application for a special event permit shall be placed on the Maryville Beer Board agenda at its next regularly scheduled meeting following the receipt of the notice. An applicant shall send a representative to such Maryville Beer Board meeting to address any questions or issues arising out of the proposed special event.
- A special event permit shall state on its face the name of the holder of the permit, the specific location, and the times and date where such vendor(s) is permitted to sell beer under the special event permit. A copy of the special event permit and a copy of the participant vendor's regular beer permit(s) must be displayed at each location where beer is sold by such vendor. (1999 Code, § 8-219)
