ABC states that for-profit businesses may NOT sell alcohol to the public (unless your business has a regular liquor license). Basically, the rules for for-profit businesses are as follows:

1. One-day liquor/beer permits will NOT be given to for-profit businesses. Only non-profit businesses may acquire these permits.
   

2. No money may be exchanged for alcohol purchase in the instance of special events. 
   

3. Alcohol may NOT be served free of charge by your business to the public, only invitees may be served alcohol (free of charge, as mentioned in #2)
   

Event permits are required on private property when amplified sound is an issue and must be submitted a minimum of seven business days in advance.

PRIVATE PROPERTY:
Amplified Sound Outdoors: Special Event Permit required
Amplified Sound Indoors: No permit required unless a fee or cover is charged

The Navigator program is modeled after the successful model established in June 2004 n the Downtown region of Sacramento. This program assists homeless individuals in gaining access to human services and medical attention they require. The program operates under the notion that homelessness is not permanent. Rather, it is a temporary state of being and can be changed. The goal of the program is to increase access to care and to identify long-term solutions to improve their quality of life and ultimately end their state of homelessness.

Contact: Tammie Van Hook, Midtown Homeless Outreach Coordinator at 916-798-8171 Monday-Friday. You will see her on our district's streets daily assisting homeless individuals.
