Mounds View City Council June 9, 2014 Regular Meeting Page 2 required for all liquor licenses. She explained staff received an application and fees from Moe’s on May 27th. For this reason, staff was unable to make a recommendation on the liquor license for the May 27th City Council meeting and the item was continued to the June 9th meeting. Staff has since reviewed the materials and commented a satisfactory compliance check had been completed. She noted all utilities and property taxes were up to date and recommended approval of the liquor license contingent upon a satisfactory criminal background check. Hearing no public input, Mayor Flaherty closed the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. Council Member Mueller questioned how this liquor license would proceed if the criminal background check was not received by June 30th. Assistant City Administrator Crane commented the liquor license would lapse. The applicant would have to begin the entire liquor license process all over again. She anticipated that this process would take an additional 45 to 60 days to complete. MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Meehlhause. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 8253, a Resolution to Consider Approval of an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License for Moe’s, located at 2400 County Road 10 contingent upon a satisfactory criminal background check.
