MAYOR <br />Michael 1. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Matt Anderson <br />Rick Montour <br />515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR <br />(651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 Joel R. Hanson <br />Email: cityhall @cLlittle - canada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: February 8, 2001 <br />RE: Wine in Grocery Stores <br />Attached is correspondence received from State Senator Mady Reiter asking for our City's position on the <br />issue of wine sales in grocery stores. Through my membership on the League of Minnesota Cities <br />Service Delivery Committee, I know there is a strong sentiment on the part of many local officials about <br />not expanding youth access to alcohol. In fact, the League Membership took an official position on that <br />subject. With topics such as keg registration gaining support, it would seem contradictory to expand <br />access in outlets that appear to offer less control over youth access. <br />Therefore, it is my recommendation we adopt the attached resolution opposing the sale of wine at any <br />outlet other than duly authorized off -sale liquor stores. If you agree, I will forward it on to our local <br />legislators. <br />Page 19 <br />
