RESOLUTION TO ENTER INTO A STANDARD AGREEMENT CONTRACT ACCEPTING A Reso 14-04
GRANT AWARD FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL (ABC). Accepting a
Grant from
Mayor Rocha addressed the item expressing concerns on the scope of work of the grant relating to the ABC (Consent
increase of underage drinking among the student population, identified liquor stores located near Item D-10)
school campuses selling alcoholic beverages to underage students, and the sale of alcohol to people
who are already intoxicated; he asked if the Azusa Police can enforce laws prohibiting such activities.
Police Chief Gonzales responded that liquor stores who sell alcohol to intoxicated individuals claim Question
that at the time of purchase those individuals were sober; the Azusa Police are the enforcers of the Answer
grant, but the ABC does the administration and after action of that enforcement, typically they give the
licensed violators plenty of opportunities to correct themselves, by suspending the ability to sell for a
specified period of time, they continue to sell all other goods except alcohol during the suspension
period; the number of times that the businesses can be charged with infractions before permanently
losing their ABC license is unknown, but there are businesses that have been cited multiple times, and
they continue to sell; fines vary and the suspension carries some weight, especially when there is a 45-
60 day suspension, because alcohol is their main profit; he further stated that the police do not have the
authority to suspend liquor licenses.
Further discussion was held regarding consideration of a single container ordinance, which are the 40
oz. containers purchased by people who typically are looking to get drunk and cannot afford a 6 or 12
pack of beer, the ordinance will help eliminate the single can sale; Councilmember Macias stated that
there are several laws currently in place, regarding the consumption of alcohol, and expressed concern
on additional limitations on people's choices of what they are allowed to buy, as people need to be
personally responsible; however, he will review the ordinance should it be presented.
Mayor Rocha offered a resolution entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA AUTHORIZING THE
CHIEF OF POLICE TO ENTER INTO THE STANDARD AGREEMENT CONTRACT WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL ACCEPTING $28,000 FROM THE
