§ 142-38. Food and beverage sub-permit.

(a)

A food and beverage sub-permit is required for all outdoor festivals where food and/or beverages will be served. A food and beverage sub-permit is also required for any other outdoor event where food and/or beverages will be served and where the county in which the outdoor event is located regulates the type of food and/or beverage service that will occur at the outdoor event. For purposes of this article, "beverage" includes water but does not include alcoholic drinks.

(b)

There is no fee for a food and beverage sub-permit.

(c)

The food and beverage sub-permit application shall be submitted to the SEM with the outdoor event application. Where the outdoor event application is due less than 30 days prior to the outdoor event, the food and beverage sub-permit application must none-the-less be submitted to the SEM no later than 30 days before the outdoor event. The food and beverage sub-permit application must include a certificate from Fulton County showing that the county has approved the serving of food and/or beverages at the outdoor event. Where the outdoor event is occurring in DeKalb County, the application must include a certificate from DeKalb County showing that the county has approved the serving of food and/or beverages at the outdoor event. Where the county in which the outdoor event is occurring does not require a certificate for the type of food and beverages being served at the outdoor event, the applicant shall indicate this fact on the sub-permit application.

(d)

The SEM shall forward the food and beverage sub-permit application to the fire rescue department's special operations division. The fire rescue department shall be the sole decision-maker of whether to issue the sub-permit. In determining whether to approve or deny the sub-permit application, the fire rescue department shall determine solely whether the applicant has met the food and beverage permitting standards required by the county in which the outdoor event is occurring.
