Staff has been working with license holders on meeting the requirements for renewal so as to allow the council to consider approval at this time. A majority of these licenses require additional approval by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Alcohol and Gambling Division and they will be forwarded to the state if local approval is granted. Attached is a list of the establishments that have submitted renewal applications. Under city policy, applicants applying for license renewal are required to undergo a background investigation each year. The Lino Lakes Public Services Department performs the investigation and reports any information that would make applicants ineligible for license renewal. Each license is contingent upon the background. Licensees are also required to submit verification of liquor liability and workers’ compensation insurance as well as pay appropriate fees. No license will be released until all requirements are met. The city code requires that when the city council considers the issuance of a tobacco and liquor licenses, opportunity shall be given to any person to be heard for or against the granting of the license. RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution 20-61 approving renewal of tobacco, liquor, wine and beer licenses for the period of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.
