The ordinance would have given event organizers more choice in how they provide security when serving alcohol in city parks and playgrounds. Council members instead rejected the change, leaving the existing requirements in place. The discussion focused on police presence, crowd control, alcohol-related risks, and the safety of children and other park visitors.
