The Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce has applied for one three day
temporary on-sale intoxicating liquor license. They plan to sell wine and
beer at Lakefront Days on August 7, 8, 9, 2014, as part of their fund

Issues
The Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce was issued a temporary on-sale
intoxicating liquor license for their ladies night out event on September 17,
2009. As part of their ongoing liquor compliance checks, the Prior Lake
Police Department conducted a compliance check of this event to ensure
that no liquor was being sold to minors. The Chamber of Commerce
failed this check when liquor was sold to a minor assisting the Police
Department. This liquor violation has been processed through the court
system and all fines and civil penalties have been satisfied.
Since this incident occurred the Chamber five years ago, it has modified
its sales processes, incorporated training and as a result has been tested
each year and passed.
