CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 3A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Julie Bartell, City Clerk
MEETING DATE: September 22, 2014
TOPIC: Brewery Taproom Sunday Sales
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
The Minnesota Legislature Omnibus Liquor Bill approved in 2014 includes various changes to
liquor license requirements. One change is a statutory amendment that allows brewer taprooms
to be open and conduct on -sale business on Sundays if authorized by their municipality (Minn.
Stat. 340A.201, subd. 6b). Currently Sunday sales are allowed in the city but only for facilities
that are restaurants and sell on -sale liquor in conjunction with the serving of meals.
BACKGROUND
Hammerheart Brewery, 7785 Lake Drive, has an on -sale brewer taproom license issued by the
City and the brewery owners have expressed interest in obtaining Sunday sales authorization.
Allowing them to sell on Sunday would require an amendment to the city's liquor regulations
that are included in Chapter 701 of the City Code.
RECOMMENDATION
On September 8, the council approved the 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 08-14, Amending
Chapter 701 of the City Code relating to Liquor Licensing. Staff is presenting the ordinance
for the council's consideration of 2nd Reading and final approval.
