Spring Street Discussion of BASSET Training for Festival and Special Event Volunteers Selling and Serving Alcoholic Beverages Deputy Chief Duffy stated that the Police Department has significant concerns regarding the fact that a number of not-for-profit organizations and churches do not use a licensed vendor for the sale and service of alcoholic liquor. Employees of licensed vendors are BASSET trained, but volunteers for not-for-profit organizations and churches who are selling and serving the liquor at the festivals are not BASSET trained. Currently the Police Department is requiring that additional police personnel be hired to work at the events when vendors are not used. Discussion was held regarding this issue . The Commission does not want to make the requirement so onerous that the organizations are not able to make a profit, and the suggestion was made that perhaps the City could either provide the BASSET training in-house or pay for the training for not-for-profit organization volunteers . The Commission directed that Assistant Corporation Counsel Kozal, City Clerk Mecum, and Deputy Chief Duffy to explore options regarding requiring BASSET training for festival and special event volunteers beginning in 2002 .
