• • CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION AUGUST 7, 2002 APPROVED take away some heavy use of other equipment such as the copier. She indicated it is difficult to estimate exactly how much a new scanner would prolong the life of existing machines. Councilmember Reinert asked staff to inquire about financing the scanner. Councilmember Carlson inquired about the warranty on the new scanner. City Clerk Blair stated there is a manufacturer's warranty and she would inquire how long that warranty is in effect. Councilmember Reinert stated he believes the equipment should be purchased even if it cannot be financed with the company. Councilmember O'Donnell asked staff to determine if there was any new equipment that was budgeted for this year that could be eliminated because of the new scanner. It was the consensus of Council to move forward with the purchase of the new scanner, as presented by staff. This item will appear on the regular Council agenda Monday, August 12, 2002, 6:30 p.m. CONSIDER LIQUOR CODE AMENDMENTS, ANN BLAIR City Clerk Blair distributed and reviewed a copy of the proposed changes to the City's Liquor Code. She noted allowing one liquor license to every 4,000 — 5,000 population is an option. The City currently has five off -sale licenses. Staff is not proposing any changes to the on -sale licenses at this time. The City will have twelve on -sale licenses available per state statute. Councilmember Carlson stated the City needs to have a license for organizations like the Lion's Club to sell liquor at one -day events. Councilmember Reinert suggested the possibility of regulating the number of off -sale businesses by regulating a standard for what type of store is developed. Mayor Bergeson indicated Council would review the proposed changes and discuss this issue at a future work session. City Clerk Blair distributed a copy of a current liquor license application for Council review. City Clerk Blair advised the Council Mr. Chad Wagner, Millers on Main, has inquired about a one -day event with bands performing out in the parking lot. A conditional use permit would be necessary under current City code. The process for a conditional use permit is quite lengthy and there would not be enough time to have it approved.
