ISSUFJACTION PROPOSED
Subject Reso lution on Escort
Services and Liquor
Licensing Authority
We ask that City Council consider the attached resolution, which requests a report from the
Liquor Licensing Authority concerning Escort Services in Englewood .
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
None.
BACKGROUND
The City has received a reques t for an Escort Service Licen se, and according to Colorado
Revised Statutes 12-25.5-101 et seq., when s uch a requ ~s l is received, the City is required to
d eve lop a policy regarding the li censing process.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Th e subject of escort services is not fully develo ped in the St a te Statutes and it would
appear from a rev iew of th e statutes that additional legislation is necessary in order to
im pleme nt the provisions neces sary to protect the City of Englewood. By directing thi s
iss ue to th e Li qu or Li cens ing Autho rity, th ey co uld develop the appropriate regul ations .
Th e Liquor Li cens in g Auth o rity has expe rien ce in dealing w i th regul a ted indust ry and there
are many paralle ls b etwe e n the Escort Se rvice Statute a nd the Colorad o Liqu or Licensin g
Statutes .
Passage of thi s resoluti on would prov ide for a report to the City Council on a number of
issues in clud ing th e scope of a ppropri ate legi s la ti on, and th e appropria te a utho rit y to
consider ap plications fo r escort services. Th e Liquor Li ce nsi ng Au th ority may h old public
heari ngs on th e subject and they w ould make a review of oth er muni cipal legi s lation o n th e
subject.
FINANCIAL
,\! t he present time, no financi a l impact is perceived o ther than the minimal expense of
holdi ng public hearings a nd consulting w ith the Cit y Attorney Staff.
