WORKSHOP
MANDATORY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SERVER TRAINING
Commissioner Watkins requested the City mandate alcoholic beverage server training for
licensees that have a restaurant by the drink license, retail liquor by the drink license or a malt
beverage license. The City Manager reported training called Server Training in Alcohol
Regulations (S.T.A.R.) is offered through the Kentucky State Alcoholic Beverage office. Goals
of the training sessions are to educate licensees fake identifications, reduce illegal sales to minors,
reduce sales to persons who are already intoxicated, promote responsible consumption, provide
information to sellers and servers to protect themselves from third -party liability lawsuits and
educate licensees and servers about Kentucky liquor laws.
The Commission agreed that it would be a good idea to have a representative from the State ABC
office to give a presentation about the S.T.A.R. training. Commissioner Watkins asked the City
Manager to also have former Asst. Police Chief Sandy Joslyn who now teaches the training to be
present for information.
