BACKGROUND AND STAFF REPORT:
Pursuant to MN State Statute 340A.404 Subd. 4(b), under Special provisions; sports, conventions, or
cultural facilities; community festivals, the governing body of a municipality may authorize a holder of a
retail on-sale intoxicating liquor license issued by the municipality to dispense intoxicating liquor off
2
premises at a community festival held within the municipality. The authorization shall specify the area in
which the intoxicating liquor must be dispensed and consumed, and shall not be issued unless the licensee
demonstrates that it has liability insurance as prescribed by section 340A.409 to cover the event. The City
of Lake Elmo, in conjunction with local businesses and the community, will hold the Lake Elmo Days
event on September 6 and 7, 2013. Authorization is necessary for the safe sale of alcohol at the event and
