§ 3-12. Consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages in public areas prohibited.

It shall be unlawful for any person to consume, and for any person other than a licensed beverage salesman or agent, to carry or possess in any cup, can, or any other open or unsealed container, without limitation, any alcoholic beverage in or on any property owned or controlled by the city, including, without limitation, any park or recreation area, any street, sidewalk, or alleyway within the city, except for a city-sponsored event. The above prohibition shall not apply when a reservation on a city-approved form is made for the Piggotte Center or James Park Activity Building and the reservation specifically provides that alcohol will be consumed at the event. The consumption of alcohol for an event must be approved by the city and may be denied for cause.
