CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A TEMPORARY ON-SALE LIQUOR LICENSE
FOR THE PRIOR LAKE VFW
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of a temporary on-
sale intoxicating liquor license for the Prior Lake VFW.
Historv
State statute allows non-profit organizations to apply for temporary liquor li-
censes as a means to raise funds for their organizations. Temporary licenses
may be issued for up to four consecutive days. The City may not issue more
than three (3) four-day temporary license, four (4) three day licenses, six (6)
two day licenses, or twelve (12) one day license, in any combination not to
exceed 23 days per year to anyone organization or for anyone location. No
more than one temporary license may be issued to anyone organization or for
anyone location within any 30-day period, unless the licenses are issued in
connection with an official community event.
Current Circumstances
The Prior Lake VFW, Village Liquor and several other businesses in Prior
Lake are planning a fund raising event to benefit the CAP Agency. This is an
annual event held in the South Lake Village Mall that includes a wine tasting
which will be held on Thursday, November 4, 2010. The Prior Lake VFW cur-
rently holds a Club Liquor License which allows them to sell intoxicating liquor
on their premises at16306 Main Avenue SE. The Prior Lake VFW is required
by state statute to apply for a temporary on-sale intoxicating license for this
event because it is not being held on the premises for which they are licensed
but at South Lake Village.
Conclusion
The Prior Lake Police Department has completed an investigation of this ap-
plicant to ensure that all requirements and issues concerning public safety
and compliance have been met. The Prior Lake VFW has provided proof of
liquor liability insurance for this event.
The Prior Lake VFW has paid a license fee of $25.00 for this event.
