Carlsbad entertainment establishment owners have worked with the City of Carlsbad on the proposed Entertainment Ordinance.
The two sides have had multiple meetings to work towards an ordinance that satisfies both the City and owners. The owners have implemented many programs to help alleviate some of the issues in the Village. Starting with noise reduction, many of the establishments in the Village have changed their collections of glass bottles so they do not disturb neighbors.
Further, they have purchased Nextel walkie talkies to communicate with each other, and the police department started a designated driver program, developed in-house security plans, worked with taxi companies for increased presence and applied for certification from the alcohol beverage control (ABC) for an Advanced Responsible Alcohol Server Training and Licensed In-house Security Trainer. The owners are also working with the Carlsbad fire department to develop standard occupancy logs.
Through their meetings, the owners have suggested many changes such as a public consumption law for the Village, police department approved security plans and annual renewal of Responsible Beverage Service Training Course.
Together the City of Carlsbad and the entertainment establishments are looking to entertain Carlsbad while keeping it a safe place to visit.
