STAFF ORIGINATOR: MEETING DATE: TOPIC: VOTE REQUIRED: BACKGROUND: AGENDA ITEM 3A Julie Bartell, City Clerk June 13, 2011 Consider Resolution No 11 -56, Approving the renewal of Liquor, Wine, Beer and Dance licenses Simple Majority (3/5 Vote Required) All liquor, wine, beer (3.2) and dance licenses in the City of Lino Lakes expire on June 30, 2011. 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. Note that two establishments have closed during the year. One current license holder, Bobby & Steve's Auto World, has indicated that license renewal will be requested but they have not submitted the necessary paperwork. I anticipate bringing that renewal forward at the next council meeting; if an application is not submitted and approved however the licenses at that establishment will expire at midnight on June 30. • Under city policy, applicants applying for license renewal are required to undergo a background investigation each year. The Lino Lakes Police Department performs the investigation and reports any information that would make applicants ineligible for license renewal. All backgrounds were clear for renewal with a notation that one license holder was convicted on a misdemeanor charge unrelated to the licensed establishment. 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.
