AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Approving a Temporary Liquor License for Lakefront
Music Fest on July 8 & 9th, 2022
GOAL AREA Public Safety
OBJECTIVE: 4. Ensure a safe and quality built environment.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve a Temporary Liquor License for the Prior Lake Rotary for the 2022 Lakefront Music Fest
on July 8th and 9th.
BACKGROUND:
Non-profit organizations are permitted by state statute to apply for temporary liquor licenses for
events, usually fundraisers, in order to sell liquor without applying for a full-year liquor license.
The Prior Lake Rotary Club, a 501 c3 non-profit, was founded in 1978 and has a long history of
providing monetary and service support to the community. The Rotary Club is able to support
community service activities because of its fundraising activities.
The Prior Lake Rotary's eleventh music festival is planned to be held on Friday, July 8, 2022, and
Saturday, July 9, 2022, at Lakefront Park. The event, known as the Prior Lake Rotary Lakefront
Music Festival, will offer two days of concerts to the public. The Rotary will raise money to fund
the event through sponsorships and intends to raise additional money to support its community
service efforts by selling food and beverages, including beer, wine, pre-mixed cocktails and
seltzers, to the concert goers throughout each day. In order to do so, a temporary on-sale
intoxicating liquor license is required.
The Police Department has reviewed the temporary liquor license application to ensure that all
requirements and issues concerning liquor compliance and public safety have been met.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Prior Lake Rotary has paid the $75.00 temporary on-sale intoxicating liquor license fee.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Motion and second as a part of the consent agenda to approve the temporary liquor
license for the Prior Lake Rotary for Friday, July 8th and Saturday, July 9th, 2022
2. Motion and second to remove this item from consent for additional discussion.
