CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 17, 2011
AGENDA #: 5F
PREPARED BY: JANET RINGBERG, LICENSE CLERK
PRESENTED BY: FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A TEMPORARY ON -SALE LIQUOR LICENSE
FOR THE PRIOR LAKE VFW
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of a temporary on -sale
intoxicating liquor license for the Prior Lake VFW.
Hi story
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 ex-
ceed 23 days per year to any one organization or for any one location. No
more than one temporary license may be issued to any one organization or for
any one 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 fun raising event to benefit the CAP Agency. This is an annual
event held in the South Lake Village Mall. This fund raising event will be held
on Thursday, November 3, 2011, and will include a wine tasting. The Prior
Lake VFW currently holds a Club Liquor License which allows them to sell in-
toxicating liquor on the premises of their club at 16306 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.
Conclusion
The Prior Lake Police Department has completed an investigation of the appli-
cant 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.
FINANCIAL The Prior Lake VFW has paid a license fee of $75.00 for this event.
IMPACT:
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the temporary on -sale intoxicating liquor license for the Prior Lake
VFW.
2. Deny the license request.
RECOMMENDED Alternative #1.
MOTION:
