The Grant County Sheriff s Office has been handling most of the law enforcement duties at the Gorge for years. Over that time, they have worked with all the vendors and security closely. They have had the opportunity to develop relationships and support each other. Adding ready to drink canned cocktails and pre -batched cocktails will not change the culture of the Gorge. Starplex and Legends has taken and will continue to take measures to keep the patrons in order. Legislative changes have limited law enforcement interactions. The Grant County Sheriff s Office has also seen a decrease in alcohol related issues at the Gorge. The policies and procedures in place at the Gorge will regulate any issues. The Grant County Sheriff s Office will continue to partner with Legends and Starplex to make sure the experience at the Gorge is positive, family -oriented, and fun.

Wristbands will be affixed by LEGENDS staff to ensure they cannot be transferred in any way. The color/design of said wristbands will vary across these younger demographic events to avoid duplication. All patrons entering all alcoholic beverage pouring lines will be checked by servers to determine whether they possess "drinking age verified" wristbands. The wristbands will aid venue staff in identifying patrons that are consuming alcohol within the confines of the AMPHITHEATRE. Providers of age verification wristbands and security staff are centrally located throughout the venue to facilitate access for patrons wanting to purchase alcohol. Staff over the age of 21, who have had server education and, at a minimum MAST training, will adequately staff each of these stations. C. If staff observes a guest who appears to be of questionable age that is in possession of or is consuming an alcoholic beverage, staff will request identification from that guest. If the guest is unable to produce an acceptable form of identification verifying their age, the guest will be turned over to security and security will contact the local police department for resolution. d. Alcohol servers, monitors, spotters, and security staff will be instructed to watch for the transfer of alcohol from one patron to another. Any person furnishing alcohol to a minor'and any minor in possession of alcohol will be removed from the show, the guest will be turned over to security and security will contact the local police department for resolution. B. Staff will accept only the below forms of current identification which have been identified as "acceptable" by the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board.
