DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED REVISIONS TO THE ORDINANCE RELATED TO THE
REVOCATION OR SUSPENSION OF LIQUOR LICENSES, CHAPTER 6 SECTION 3.06
Administrator Hoyt explained that the city would be participating in compliance checks on
city liquor establishments for sales of liquor to minors with the University of Minnesota in
1999. To be prepared for this activity, the council had previously directed the city
attorney to draft amendments to the city's liquor ordinance that included civil penalties for
failure to comply with state statutes.
Councilmember Gibson Talbot arrived at 7:28 p.m.
The council discussed the penalties and determined that they should be S 1,500 for the
first violation, a six day suspension and a fine for the second violation (within 3 years of
the first violation), an 18 day suspension and a fine for the third violation (within 5 years of
the first violation) and revocation and a fine on the fourth violation (within 7 years of the
first violation). The council referred the proposed changes back to the city attorney for
comment and incorporation into the proposed amendments to the ordinance.
