Manhattan city commissioners are onboard with streamlining the process for approving events where alcohol is served. Commissioners discussed a proposal for changing city policy on special events with alcohol Tuesday. Currently, any entity that wishes to have a special event with alcohol sales in Aggieville, downtown or Blue Earth Plaza must use a licensed caterer and set up beer gardens for people to drink in. The proposed policy change would eliminate the requirement for beer gardens and establish special event boundaries that would allow people to drink freely within a cordoned-off city block.
