MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />March 13, 1991 <br />The Attorney reported that he corrected the error in <br />Section 702.090, and has made the proposed Ordinance <br />consistent with State Law as regards that section. <br />Next reviewed was Section 703.070 which provides for an <br />investigation fee for liquor license applications, <br />including those for temporary licenses. After <br />discussion of this issue, the consensus was to exempt <br />those entities which have been licensed by the City <br />prior to the adoption of this ordinance. <br />Council felt that Section 703.120 (2) should remain in <br />the Ordinance, however, should be reworded to exclude <br />temporary licenses. <br />The City Attorney stated that Section 703.120 (6) <br />states that a license holder cannot hold more than one <br />temporary license at the same time, and does not <br />preclude a licensee from having more than one fund <br />raiser during a year. <br />The City Attorney pointed out that there are two issues <br />that the Council needs to address under Sections <br />702.030 (2) and 703.040 (6). Those are the issues of <br />Liquor Liability coverage for the licensees and <br />insurance coverage or exposure to the City. The <br />Attorney reported that the City has a general liability <br />insurance policy which covers the City for damage done <br />by City personnel to persons or property relating to <br />various kinds of circumstances. However, this policy <br />does not provide coverage in Dram Shop situations. The <br />Attorney stated that there is the question of whether <br />or not the Little Canada Recreation Association is an <br />agency of the City, and the City may be unable to get <br />Dram Shop coverage because the City cannot sell <br />liquor. The Attorney also pointed out that the sale of <br />liquor requires some sort of license and some sort of <br />insurance coverage. The City Attorney stated that from <br />his standpoint it is prudent that there be insurance <br />coverage relating to the sale of liquor, and if the <br />City cannot obtain this coverage, then the Recreation <br />Association should. The City Attorney stated that this <br />is not an issue that the City should ignore. <br />Scalze pointed out that there are actually three <br />orqanizations that usually apply for temporary liquor <br />licenses. Those are the Recreation Association, <br />Canadian Days, and St. John's Church. <br />Blesener stated that he believed the Church carried <br />Dram Shop coverage. <br />Page 4 <br />
