UNMACHT, CITY MANAGER CONSIDER APPROVAL OF LIQUOR ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 91-02 JULY 15, 1991 Ordinance 91-02 was first considered by the City Council on February 19, 1991. Council tabled action on the ordinance directing staff to reevaluate the proJ;>osed wording. Attached is a copy of the orig1nal agenda report, the minutes from the February 19, 1991 meeting, and a copy of Ordinance 3-1-16. The proJ;>osed amendment addresses two discrepancl.es in our existing liquor ordinance: 1) Amendment to Paragraph C, is a clarification of the existing language. The proposed language will now be consistent with the newly adopted state legislation relating to consumption of alcohol on a public highway: and 2) The proposed amendment, identified as new Paragraph E, incorporates a section from the old ordinance (amended in March, 1990) that was accidentally deleted in the new ordinance. The language proposed at the February 19, 1991 Council meeting needed to be clarified. Staff has reviewed several drafts of new Paragraph E and is finally comfortable with the language as proposed. The original language proposed in February was the old section 3-1-15 B language accidentally deleted. Although this ordinance was effective, the Council was concerned about future interpretation of its wording. New paragra~h E removes the confusion as to the definit10n of the "public place", and addresses the permitting of consumption of alcoholic beverages on certain public rights-of-way through the apJ;>roval process of the City Manager. Staff bell.eves that we have addressed the concerns of the Council. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph.
