Promoter Permits

Issues

The data shows violent incidents around the city have happened at ABC licensed establishments, especially where promoters are involved. This is not exclusive to bars. We propose promoters be required to obtain a permit with the city that shows proof of insurance, completed a background check with fingerprints, and contract with a third-party security company that is licensed and bonded. Licensees should work with promoters who have proven records of responsible performance. We propose the city track problematic promoters and revoke their permits if a track record of violent incents is found.
