Ayes (4) Morelan, Fahey, Scalze, Pedersen. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. MGM LIQUOR The Council reviewed MGM's liquor license violation wherein they LICENSE sold liquor to a retail establishment that was on the State's tax delinquent VIOLATION list. It was noted that the State imposed a $200 fine, which MGM has paid. The City's ordinance requires that the Council take action to either suspend or revoke the license or impose a fine. Jack Lanners, FTL Corporation dba MGM Liquor Warehouse, reported that State Law prohibits retail establishments to sell liquor to another retail establishment. It also prohibits the sale of liquor to any establishment on the State's tax delinquent list. Lanners reported that as an off-sale liquor store, MGM is not provided with a listing of the retail businesses that are tax delinquent. This listing is, however, provided to wholesale establishments. As a result, MGM would not be aware of whether or not a business was tax delinquent. MGM would also not be aware of whether a business owner coming into their liquor store was purchasing liquor for their own personal use or for the business. Based on the information provided by Mr. Lanners, it was the consensus of the Council felt that the fine imposed by the City should be minimal.
