CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AUGUST 18,2008
5G
JANET RINGBERG, LICENSE CLERK
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A CIGARETTE LICENSE FOR MGM WINE &
SPIRITS
Current Circumstances
MGM Wine & Spirits is planning to open a new store located at 14173
Commerce Avenue NE. (At its August 4th meeting the City Council considered
MGM's application for an Off-Sale Intoxicating liquor license. The cigarette
license they are applying for would be valid October 1, 2008 until December
31,2008, at which time it would be subject to renewal along with all other
current cigarette licenses in the City.
MGM Wine & Spirits has provided the City with a completed application and
paid the $250.00 license fee. They have provided the City with a copy of the
educational materials required by City Ordinance 308.309. The Prior Lake
Police Department has completed its investigation on this applicant and has
found nothing which would prohibit this license from being issued. Although
the records show that one of the MGM stores failed a tobacco compliance test
within the last five years, we believe this is an unusual circumstance and that
MGM as a corporation has taken corrective action.
The City Council has the following alternatives:
1. Adopt a motion has part of the consent agenda approving the
cigarette license for MGM Wine & Spirits.
2. Deny the license request.
Staff recommends Council approve the cigarette license for MGM Wine &
Spirits as part of the consent agenda.
