To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Barry Bernstein, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Alcohol Sales within Veterans Park
The Parks and Recreation Department has received a request from the Hastings Hawks Adult Amateur Baseball
Club to offer and sell malt beverages at their home games that are played at Veterans Baseball Field,
Both the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Parks and recreation Committee of Council discussed this
issue at several previous meetings. The Commission and Committee of Council recommendations to the City
Council are two parts:
First, it is recommended to the City Council to allow the sale of alcohol at Vet's Park for Hastings Hawks
Baseball games only. If the City Council approves the recommendation, the selling of alcohol would be
allowed under the following stipulations:
• The Hastings Hawks is a registered not -for profit with the State of Minnesota
• The Hastings Hawks would need to apply and receive a temporary alcohol pen from the State of
Minnesota
• The Hastings Hawks would.need to comply with any City regulations, permit and fees
• Only the sale of 3.2 malt beverage be allowed
• No alcohol sales past the seventh inning of a Hastings Hawks gatne
• The Hastings Hawks will work with local vendors who have the necessary and required insurance and
City requirements for this type of activity
• The Hastings Hawks are responsible for any additional cleanup of the area that alcohol is sold
• The City of Hastings has the right to not continue this activity if the Hastings Hawks are found not to
comply with these or other City regulations and stipulations.
The second action from the City Council, if the first part of selling of alcohol is approved, is to allow the selling
of alcohol at Veterans Park under the guidelines of the eight bullet point items listed.
Thank you!
