MEETING DATE: <br />TOPIC: <br />AGENDA ITEM 3A <br />Ann Blair, City Clerk <br />May 23 2005 <br />First Reading, Ordinance 02 -05 <br />Amending Liquor Code to Allow <br />For 2 a.m. Closing Time for On -Sale Liquor <br />Establishments <br />VOTE: 3/5 <br />BACKGROUND <br />At the April 20, 2005 Council Work Session, the City Council considered changing the <br />Lino Lakes City Code, Section 700 — Liquor to allow for on -sale liquor sales until 2 a.m. <br />Since 2003, changes in state legislation have made it possible for on -sale liquor <br />establishments to sell liquor until 2 a.m., so long as the City in which the establishments <br />are located allow for this in their Code. The Lino Lakes City Code clearly specifies a 1 <br />a.m. closing time, so an ordinance change would be necessary for establishments to make <br />application for the later closing time. <br />Ordinance 02 -05 provides for a 2 a.m. closing time. Approval of the ordinance allows <br />on -sale establishments to apply for a license to remain open until 2 a.m. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Approve 1St reading of Ordinance No. 02 -05. <br />2. Return to staff with direction. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Option 1 <br />
