CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 3A STAFF ORIGINATOR: MEETING DATE: TOPIC: VOTE REQUIRED: Julie Bartell, City Clerk November 28, 2022 Consider 1st Reading of Amendments to the Lino Lakes Code of Ordinances relating to Licensing of Liquor and Tobacco Products 3/5 INTRODUCTION The City Council is being asked to consider the 1st Reading of two ordinances: i.Ordinance No. 05-22, Amending Chapter 701 regarding Liquor Licensing by adding new subdivisions related to compliance checks and violations/penalties, and deleting Chapter 702 regarding Beer Licensing and incorporating regulations into Chapter 701; ii.Ordinance No. 06-22, Amending Chapter 602 regarding Sales, Possession and Use of Tobacco Products by adding new subdivisions related to compliance checks and violations/penalties. BACKGROUND In October, the council approved an ordinance adding language to the City Code that regulates the possession and sale of certain cannabinoid (CBD) products. These regulations included a process for compliance checks and violations/penalties. Public Safety Director Swenson has recommended that the same process be adopted related to the City’s liquor and tobacco regulations. As a part of this update to the liquor regulations for the City, staff is also recommending that the chapter of the Code relating to beer licensing be incorporated into the liquor licensing chapter. The language on beer licensing generally relates to regulations for 3.2 malt liquor and can easily be condensed into the liquor licensing chapter. The tobacco regulations will also be amended to reflect the current law of no sales to individuals under the age of 21. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends consideration of the 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 05-22 and Ordinance No. 06-22 as presented. ATTACHMENTS Ordinance No. 05-22 and Ordinance No. 06-22
