Item No: 07F Meeting Date: May 23, 2016 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: ____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Continued Public Hearing: Resolution 8568, a Resolution to Consider an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License Renewal for Moe’s located at 2400 County Road 10 Introduction: In accordance with Chapter 502 of the Mounds View City Code, a public hearing is required for all liquor license renewals. The City of Mounds View issued an intoxicating liquor license for Moe’s effective July 1, 2015. This license will expire on June 30, 2016. The notice of this public hearing was sent out to residences within a 350 feet radius, and the Notice of Public Hearing was published in the City’s official newspaper. This public hearing was originally scheduled on May 9, 2016. The public hearing was continued to this meeting because Moe’s had not submitted their city liquor license application materials and the applicable fees by the Friday, April 29, 2016, deadline. It was the consensus of the City Council to charge Moe’s with a 20% late payment fee in accordance with the 2016 Fee Schedule. Discussion: On May 9, 2016, Staff sent Jeff Moritko, owner of Moe’s, a certified letter (attached with signed receipt) stating he was subject to the 20% late fee, and was also delinquent in his utility bill payment. On Wednesday, May 11, 2016, application materials were submitted to the City, by Mr. Moritko, along with the license fee (not including the 20% late fee). On Wednesday, May 11th, Mr. Moritko was informed about the 20% late fee and was also informed of his delinquent utility bill. Further, Mr. Moritko was informed that non-payment of the late fees and the utility bill would be grounds for denial of Moe’s on-sale liquor license renewal. As of Thursday, May 19, 2016, Moe’s has paid the delinquent utility bill. However, Moe’s still owes late fees associated with the delinquent utility bill ($162.70) and the late fee associated with late submission of the on-sale liquor license application materials ($645.00). In accordance with the City’s Liquor Code: Subd. 2. Places Ineligible for License: a. No intoxicating liquor or wine license shall be granted for operation on any premises on which taxes, assessments, utility bills or other financial claims of the City are delinquent or unpaid. (Amended, Ord. 843, 5-20-10)
