REPORT TO COUNC I L Augustl4th, 1981
Special Meeting of
August 21, 1981
Community Services Report
Re: Request for Beer Tent
Bowmanville Men's
Softball League,
Baseball Tournament
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. That this report be received.
2. That Council deny the request of the Bowmanville Men's
Softball League, to operate a beer tent at Memorial Park
on September 17, 18, 19 and 20th.
3. That Mr. J. Humenick, R.R.#6, Bowmanville, be so advised.
BACKGROUND
The attached letter was received on August 7th, 1981 and discussed
by the Administrator and Director of Community Services, and this
report prepared for consideration of Council, at the special
meeting of August 21, 1981. If Council chooses to approve the
request, sufficient time could be available to the league to
apply for the necessary liquor licensing permits (provided Council
concurs with the request as of the date of receiving the report).
COMMENT
Staff are agreed that despite the assurance from Mr. Humenick that
the request should be denied for the following reasons:
1. The approval will set a precedent for the use of the pool
area which could result in future problems.
2. Despite assurances, and although the pool itself will not be
in operation, staff are concerned about the safety aspects of
the event because of the proximity of the facilities.
3. Staff are concerned about possible damage to Town Property.
4. The event is anticipated to cause disruption to neighbouring
residential areas, and as inferred by point (1) above may
become a continuing problem if other such events are allowed
as a result of permission being granted in this instance.
Respectfully Submitted,

40 Temperance Street
Bowmanville, Ontario
Dear Mayor Rickard:
I am writing on behalf of the Bowmanville Men's
Town Softball League, On September 17, 18, 19th we have
scheduled a Baseball Tournament located at Memorial Park.
As in the past year our tournament held in July, requested
a Beer, Tent under the covering by the Wool. Our request
was enie its year our tournament is being held in
September as mentioned above, at the time the Public Pool
will be closed. We are well aware that in past years such
permits were not granted, but with the following guidelines
we feel we can meet with your approval:
1) a snow fence surrounding the area
2) proper supervision of the enclosure
3) and if necessary a deposit to show our
sincerity that we will take full responsibility
To date, our Committee has been to numerous Baseball
Tournaments operating successfully a designated area for a
beer tent. We also feel that with allowing a controlled beer
tent people would not tend to carry coolers containing
alcoholic beverages with possibly breaking glass bottles on the
park grounds. Our committee is prepared to take full
responsibility in any cleanup operation. As in the past we
realize this sort of request has been hard to obtain permission
for but at least with the above guidelines and any that you may
.request a successful operation can and will be achieved.
So please accept this letter as an application for a Beer Tent.
Hoping this is satisfactory, I remain.
Yours truly,
Joe Flumenick, Committee Representative
