What is Entertainment Permit Manager Listing – Sacramento, CA?
The Entertainment Permit Application: Manager Listing Update is a City of Sacramento form that an entertainment permit holder uses to list the managers to add to, or delete from, a current entertainment permit.
The form is issued through Entertainment Services, 915 I St., 3rd Floor, Sacramento, CA 95814. The top block identifies the permit: date, permit number, business name and address, permit holder name and signature, contact telephone and e-mail. The manager block has room for four managers. For each one you mark Add or Delete, give an address, e-mail address and telephone numbers, and say whether the person is already listed on another current entertainment permit.
The form explains why managers are listed. A responsible person, as defined by Sacramento City Code Section 5.108.020 (Definitions), must be in the establishment during all hours that it is open and offering entertainment. The form asks you to list all managers for the permit and says that all managers must pass a background check.
This form changes only the manager list. According to the city's Entertainment Permits page, a permit holder who wants to change existing permit conditions completes a separate Entertainment Permit Modifications Form. New permits use the General or Temporary Entertainment Permit Application or the Limited Entertainment Permit Application.
Who needs to file Entertainment Permit Manager Listing – Sacramento, CA?
The main group is current holders of a City of Sacramento entertainment permit who need to change the managers listed on it. The city's Entertainment Permits page says to submit the Entertainment Permit Manager Listing, with proposed or deleted managers and signed by the Permit Holder, to modify the managers on a permit.
- Permit holders adding managers. Each added manager must pass a background check. A manager who is not listed on a current entertainment permit must pay the live scan fee, which is charged per person.
- Permit holders removing managers. Mark Delete next to the manager's name.
- Managers already on another permit. The form still asks you to answer whether the person is on another current permit and to name the venue or venues.
Do not use this form to change existing permit conditions; the city directs those requests to the Entertainment Permit Modifications Form. It is also not the application for a new permit: the city provides separate General, Temporary and Limited Entertainment Permit applications. The form has a permit holder signature line and names no other signer.
When to file Entertainment Permit Manager Listing – Sacramento, CA
Submit the form whenever you need to add or delete a manager on a current entertainment permit. The form prints no separate due date.
Allow time for the background check. After the form is submitted to staff and the appropriate fees are paid, the city directs applicants to the Sacramento Police Department at 916-808-0780 to schedule a fingerprinting appointment, and background results may take up to four to six weeks. Because the form states that a responsible person must be present whenever the establishment is open and offering entertainment, plan manager changes with that background check time in mind.
Documents you need
- Permit Holder signature on the form itself: the city says the listing must be signed by the Permit Holder.
- Additional copies of the form if you need to list more than the four managers the page has room for; the form says to attach additional forms if necessary.
- Payment of the live scan fee for each manager who is not listed on a current entertainment permit; the fee is per person and non-refundable.
- SPD Permit Application (SPD 384) and Applicant's Descriptive Information (SPD 950) forms, plus a copy of the fee receipt, for the Sacramento Police Department's live scan processing.
