DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of an on-sale temporary
liquor licenses 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 on-
going fund-raising efforts.
History
State statute allows non-profit organizations to apply for temporary liquor li-
censes as a means to raise funds for their organizations. Temporary licenses
may be issued 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 community event.
Current Circumstances
The Church of St. Michael is planning their annual Aprilfest event for Saturday
and Sunday April 27 and 28, 2019. 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
temporary gambling permit which allows them to offer bingo, pull tabs, and raf-
fles.
Conclusion
The Prior Lake Police Department has completed an investigation of this appli-
cant to ensure that all requirements and issues concerning public safety and
compliance have been met. The Church of St. Michael has provided proof of liq-
uor liability insurance for this event.
