CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 1F STAFF ORIGINATOR: Lisa Hogstad-Osterhues, Deputy City Clerk MEETING DATE: June 13, 2022 TOPIC: Resolution No. 22-66 Approving the Renewal of Liquor, Wine and Beer Licenses VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 BACKGROUND All liquor, wine and beer (3.2) licenses in the City of Lino Lakes expire on June 30, 2022. 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 investigation. 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 liquor license, opportunity shall be given to any person to be heard for or against the granting of the license. RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution 22-66 approving renewal of liquor, wine and beer licenses for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.
