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 for Friday, January 22, 2019.
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 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 of-
ficial community event.
Current Circumstances
The Prior Lake VFW, along with the Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce, is plan-
ning an event as part of Polar Palooza, on Friday, January 25, 2019. The event
will be held at the Southlake Village Mall, 16731 Highway 13 South. They plan to
sell alcohol, along with other food items. The Prior Lake VFW currently holds a
Club Liquor License which allows them to sell intoxicating liquor on the premises
of their club to members. Because this event may sell to non-members and is
being held outside of the licensed premise, a temporary liquor license is required.
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 Prior Lake VFW has provided proof of liquor lia-
bility insurance for this event.
