CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 26, 2013
AGENDA #: 5M
PREPARED BY: JANET RINGBERG, ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST
PRESENTED BY: FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING A TEMPORARY
LIQUOR LICENSE EXTENSION FOR THE PRIOR LAKE VFW
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of a temporary liquor li-
cense extension for the Prior Lake VFW.
Histo
The Prior Lake Volunteer Fire Department holds an annual chicken feed event at
the Prior Lake VFW. This event is held as a fund raiser for the Prior Lake Fire De-
partment Relief Association. The Relief Association uses the funds raised at this
event for department purchases and expenditures that are not covered by the city
budget. This year the event will be held on Sunday, September 8, 2013, from 3:00
PM until 8:00 PM.
Current Circumstances
The Prior Lake VFW currently holds a Club liquor license which allows them to sell
intoxicating liquor on the premises of 16306 Main Avenue SE. The premise for
this license does not include any outdoor areas, therefore a temporary extension
of their license is required for this event. An area of the parking lot adjacent to the
west side of the VFW building will be fenced off with two entrances from the out-
side. Security guards will be at each entrance throughout the event. The exten-
sion of the liquor license will only be valid for the fenced area of the parking lot on
September 8, 2013.
Conclusion
The Prior Lake Police Department has completed an investigation of this applicant
to ensure that all requirements and issues concerning public safety and compli-
ance have been met.
ISSUES: The City Council may not recall approving of such an extension in the past. That is
because they did not. We discovered as we considered the all class reunion ear-
lier this year of this omission.
FINANCIAL The Prior Lake VFW has paid a license fee of $25.00 for this event. The funds
IMPACT: raised by this event can supplement or substitute for budget funds to provide sup-
plies and equipment to our firefighters.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the Resolution authorizing a temporary liquor license extension for the
Prior Lake VFW as part of the consent agenda.
2. Deny the license request.
RECOMMENDED Alternative #1.
