through sponsorships and intends to raise additional money to support its community service
efforts by selling food and beverages, including beer and wine 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.

The Prior Lake Chamber has paid the $75.00 temporary on-sale intoxicating liquor license fee.
