JANET RINGBERG, LICENSE CLERK
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF TEMPORARY 3.2 LIQUOR
LICENSE FOR CONOCO SOFTBALL TEAM AND WAIVER
OF LICENSE FEE
Current Circumstances
Conoco softball team is requesting a temporary 3.2 liquor license in
order to sell 3.2 beer at the ASA Co-rec Softball Tournament hosted at
The Ponds Park August 21 and 22, 1999. This is the second year the
City of Prior Lake Parks and Recreation Department was awarded the
bid to host this tournament. Conoco softball team has also volunteered
to operate the 3.2 beer concession again this year and will once again
donate 50% of the revenue from beer sales to the Prior Lake Parks and
Recreation Department. The Conoco softball team will be selling beer
from a portable dispensing trailer located by the concession building
from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. on August 21 and 22, 1999.
The Issues
Conoco softball team is requesting that the $25.00 application fee be
waived, as it was last year, due to the revenue benefit for the City. The
Prior Lake Police Department has found no reason to deny the
application. Dram Shop insurance will be carried through the
Minnesota Sports Federation.
Park patrol officers will focus their patrols on The Ponds both days of
the tournament. The Park and Recreation Department's Softball
League Director will also be acting as Tournament Director and will
be overseeing the operation ofthe beer concession stand. No outside
coolers will be allowed at this tournament to ensure the 3.2 beer
dispensed from this concession stand will be the only beer allowed in
the park.
The City Council has the following alternatives:
1. Adopt a motion as part of the consent agenda approving the
temporary 3.2 liquor license and waiver ofthe fee for Conoco
softball team.
2. Deny the temporary 3.2 liquor license request.
