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 twelve 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 com-
munity event.
Current Circumstances
The Church of St. Michael is planning their annual Aprilfest event for Saturday and
Sunday April 28 and 29, 2018. 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 minors. 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 a community
event permit and a temporary gambling permit which allows them to offer bingo,
pull tabs, and raffles.

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.
