CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 27, 2014
AGENDA#: 51
PREPARED BY: JANET RINGBERG, ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST
PRESENTED BY: FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING 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.
History
State statute (MS 340A.418) allows non-profit organizations to apply for temporary
liquor licenses for the purpose of conducting wine tastings as a means to raise
funds for their organizations. Temporary licenses may be issued for up to four con-
secutive days. The City may not issue more than three (3) four-day temporary li-
cense, 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 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 li-
censes 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. This fund raising event will be held on Thursday,
November 6, 2014, and will include a wine tasting. The Prior Lake VFW currently
holds a Club Liquor License which allows them to sell intoxicating 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 this applicant
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.
