◦ Within five years of the date of application has been

5. What are the primary public safety
concerns regarding alcoholic
beverages?
Regulated Industries Division identified
three primary public safety concerns with
regard to selling and serving alcoholic
beverages:
◦ Server responsibility
Alcohol not being served to minors
Alcohol not being served to people who appear to
be intoxicated or under the influence of alcoholic
beverages
◦ Identification checks
◦ Inappropriate conduct / abuse 5
6. Responsible selling and serving of
alcoholic beverages
Priorities of an employee who
sells/serves alcoholic beverages include:
◦ Asking for state identification to prevent a
minor from purchasing or consuming
alcoholic beverages.
◦ Correctly reading state identification to ensure
alcoholic beverages are not sold/served to
minors.
◦ Being able to recognize when a person is
clearly intoxicated and not selling alcoholic
beverages – In 2008, a person died of alcohol
poisoning in a KCMO bar; their blood alcohol
concentration was .55. 6
7. Inappropriate conduct / abuse
There are documented cases that have
occurred locally, nationally &
internationally involving business
owners and employees of liquor
licensed businesses who have
assaulted or raped customers that were
under the influence of alcoholic
beverages at the time the incident
occurred.

13. How does Regulated Industries
assure prohibited felons do not
receive employee liquor permits?
By collecting and verifying the personal
identifiers from all applicants in person in
conjunction with the completed application
(valid state issued i.d., social security card
without employment restriction, other id’s if
necessary).
By sending all applications to a vendor who
completes a thorough background investigation
which includes completing a social security
number validation check, a federal criminal
check within all 50 states, and a criminal
background check in all of the states in which13
14. Is there a need to conduct background
checks to enforce the Ordinance?
Regulated Industries staff has found:
◦ It is typically a daily occurrence to turn away
someone who intended to apply for an employee
liquor permit who does not qualify to receive one
due to a felony conviction.
◦ It is typically a weekly occurrence to deny a
person an employee liquor permit due to a felony
conviction.
On an annual basis our vendor finds an
average of 15 applicants to be prohibited
felons which means they will never qualify to
receive an employee liquor permit – This
means the employee did not disclose the
felony conviction on their employee liquor
permit application. 14

16. Eliminating Employee Liquor
Permits Comes at the Cost of Public
Safety
On Friday, June 1, 2018, CNN published an
article titled “Thousands of criminals were cleared
to be Uber drivers. Here's how rideshare
companies fought stronger checks”. This article
stated:
◦ “A CNN investigation in April revealed more than 100
Uber drivers had been accused of sexually assaulting
or abusing passengers in the past four years”
◦ “Rideshare companies Uber and Lyft have approved
thousands of people who should have been
disqualified because of criminal records, according to
state agencies and lawsuits examined by CNN”
◦ “The sufficiency of Uber and Lyft's background checks
have been challenged by dozens of civil lawsuits”

17. I heard at a neighborhood meeting Friday and have confirmed personally
that Ordinance 180716 was introduced Thursday to abolish mandatory
criminal background checks and employee liquor permits in Kansas City,
Mo., that are now required for bartenders, waiters and anyone directly
mixing, serving or selling alcoholic beverages.
I looked it up, and right now the city allows almost all ex-offenders to get
employee liquor permits, but it does have a lifetime ban on murderers,
kidnappers, forcible rapists, child molesters and persistent or predatory
sexual offenders from getting them.
I’m for giving offenders a second chance, but allowing rapists and
persistent or predatory sexual offenders to serve as bartenders or waiters
in clubs and bars where they could easily slip something in the drink of
one of their targets or just overserve them to make them more vulnerable
seems just nuts.
If other city residents share my thoughts, they should call the City Council
office at 816-513-6501 ASAP and ask them to keep criminal background
checks for bartenders and waiters in bars and clubs to protect their
customers from sexual predators and to vote against Ordinance 180716.
