In order for a 'proposed ordinance' to become a law it goes thru a couple stages: 1) 1st reading where the City Council hears public comment on the issue and gathers information. If they pass it on, it goes for a 2nd reading, 2) 2nd reading - usually a formality, but not with this issue, more public comment, if it passes here, 3) the mayor has 10 days to sign or veto (or do nothing). the mayor will sign this legislation, even though he doesn't want a ban (a veto merely sends it back to council, where the same majority that passed it is necessary to overcome the veto).
Once the 'last legislative act' occurs (mayors signature/veto), we would need to do a referendum. We would have 30 days to collect 30,209 signatures. This was done in both 1991 and 2002 when similar legislation was passed. Once the signatures are verified as belonging to registered voters in the city of SD, the City Council has two choices: 1) repeal the law within 10 days or 2) put it to a city-wide vote. In 1991, they repealed the law. In 2002, they put it to a city wide vote where the ban on alcohol was repealed.
The two impartial pieces of information that I discussed at the meeting are:
1) this is a retributive punishment on the 99.9% of law-abiding citizens who use the beaches instead of a punishment on the few (literally less than .1% of beachgoers are arrested or cited for breaking the law).
2) If this legislation passes, in order for a club, group, individual or organization to have an event involving alcohol, you would need to get a Special Event Permit (more specific info at http://www.sandiego.gov/specialevents/). The short version is a minimum $150 fee plus submission and approval of a plan to the police, fire, and medical departments. You would also need an Alcohol Beverage Control Permit which requires a detailed security plan, possibly hiring private security guards and another permit fee.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions or need more information. I forgot to mention, that FreePB.org will be meeting with the UCSD Grad. Student Council tonight, where they will be taking a formal vote on opposing this legislation publicly.
Best,
