AGENDA #: 5I
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 CHURCH OF ST. MICHAEL
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of an on-sale temporary
liquor license for the Church of St. Michael. They are planning their annual
Aprilfest event for which they would like to sell beer and wine as part of their ongo-
ing fund raising efforts.
History
State statute allows non-profit organizations to apply for temporary liquor licenses
as a means to raise funds for their organizations. Temporary licenses may be is-
sued 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
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 Church of St. Michael is planning their annual Aprilfest event for Friday, Satur-
day, and Sunday April 22, 23, and 24, 2016. They will have the same type of set
up as previous years where alcohol will only be sold in an enclosed tented area
and volunteer workers will be on hand to ensure that no alcohol will be sold to mi-
nors. As in past years, St. Michael’s will hire off duty Prior Lake police officers to
patrol during live music events in the evening. They have already been approved
for an outdoor event permit and a temporary gambling permit which allows them to
offer bingo, pull tabs, and raffles.
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. The Church of St. Michael has provided proof of liquor liabil-
ity insurance for this event.
