THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JANESVILLE DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. Section 5.06.350 of the Code of General Ordinances of the City of Janesville is hereby
amended to read as follows:
"5.06.350 Class B temporary special event licenses -- single 4 ft. fencing required -- Posting required.
A. If the fermented malt beverages, wine and beer coolers, wines and wine products permitted by
the temporary event license/permit are to be dispensed, served or consumed on public property, the entire
outside licensed premises shall be enclosed within a single fence or similar enclosure with a minimum height of
four feet, or other similar enclosure acceptable to the Chief of Police, to control access and egress to and from
the outdoor licensed/fenced area. The licensee shall make an even greater effort to prevent the sale, possession
and consumption of alcohol by underage persons outdoors than s/he would indoors.
Exempt from all of the fencing provisions of subsection A. above are lawfully licensed
alcohol special events occurring entirely upon private property, such as church property,
private schools, and land owned by non-profit or benevolent organizations/entities. The
alcohol licensed activities, however, cannot take place upon any private property,
including but not limited to adjoining property, not specifically set forth in the special
event application or license. Signs still must be posted as elsewhere required.
B. If the temporary special event is occurring partially or entirely outdoors, the licensee shall post at
least two signs with large letters in conspicuous places within the confines of the licensed premises directing all
patrons to consume the fermented malt beverages only within the licensed premises or outdoor permitted
area(s), and warning all patrons that to consume the fermented malt beverages outside such area(s) is a violation
of city ordinance."
