CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: JULY 16, 2018
AGENDA #: 7A
PREPARED BY: JANET RINGBERG, ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST
PRESENTED BY: FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER
AGENDA ITEM: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ON-SALE INTOXICAT-
ING AND SUNDAY ON-SALE LICENSE FOR PLATE LLC DBA PLATE
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to conduct a public hearing to consider ap-
proval of an on-sale intoxicating and Sunday on-sale license for PLate LLC dba
PLate, located at 16323 Main Avenue SE.
Current Circumstances
PLate LLC is currently constructing a new building at 16323 Main Avenue SE
which will house a new restaurant, PLate. Construction is scheduled to be com-
pleted this fall. A liquor license start date of October 1, 2018 will allow PLate LLC
to begin purchasing liquor and conducting required liquor training of new employ-
ees before the restaurant opens.
The licenses being requested for approval will be valid from October 1, 2018 until
June 30, 2019, at which time they will be up for renewal along with all other liquor
licenses in the city.
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: Section 301.600 of the city code states that the council can deny a license request
if all taxes, assessments, fines or other financial claims of the city, county, or state
are not current. All taxes and monies owed to the city are current.
It has been the city’s practice to conduct a public hearing for initial license issu-
ance but not for renewals. Therefore, the city council should conduct a public hear-
ing to determine if substantial information is offered which would be germane to
this topic. Once the hearing is conducted, the city council could take action it
deems appropriate.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
PLate LLC has paid the $500.00 investigation fee, the prorated on-sale intoxicat-
ing liquor license fee of $4,950.00, and the Sunday on-sale license fee of $200.00.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Conduct the public hearing and if no new information is offered, approve
the resolution issuing an on-sale intoxicating and Sunday on-sale license
for PLate LLC dba PLate for the period October 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019
as proposed or with conditions.

2. Take no action and direct the staff to obtain additional information relative
