Item No: 7B Meeting Date: December 14, 2015 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: 7:00 p.m. Public Hearing: Second Reading of Ordinance 911, an Ordinance to Consider Revising Section 502.12, subd. 2 of the Liquor Code Relating to Sunday Sales. (Roll Call Vote) Introduction In accordance with Mounds View City Code § 502.12, subd. 2: 502.12: HOURS AND DAYS OF SALES: Subd. 2. Sunday Sales: Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision 1 of this Section, restaurants, clubs, bowling centers and hotels with seating capacities for at least thirty (30) persons and which hold an on-sale intoxicating liquor license may serve intoxicating liquor between the hours of ten o’clock (10:00) A.M. and two o’clock (2:00) A.M. on Sundays in conjunction with the sale of food upon obtaining a Sunday Sales license from the City. (Ord. 475, 10-9-89; Amended, Ord. 717, 7-28-03; Ord. 843, 5-20-10; Ord. 851, 10-7-10) Effective May 2, 2015, the Minnesota Legislature passed a bill amending Minnesota State Statute § 340A.504, subd. 3 changing the time that on-sale intoxicating liquor sales on Sundays may begin from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. This is applicable to a restaurant, club, bowling center, or hotel with a seating capacity for at least 30 people, and which holds an on- sale intoxicating liquor license with a Sunday Sales License. El Loro, Moe’s and The Mermaid all have current on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses with Sunday sales licenses. Discussion The City’s Liquor Code would need to be revised to allow Sunday On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor sales to start at 8:00 a.m. Staff recently got a call from the owners of The Mermaid and Moe’s and they would like to start selling their liquor earlier on Sundays consistent with Minnesota Statute § 340A.504, subd. 3. Attached is information in regard to the new law. Staff proposes the following change (revisions in red and blue): 502.12: HOURS AND DAYS OF SALES: Subd. 2. Sunday Sales: Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision 1 of this Section, restaurants, clubs, bowling centers and hotels with seating capacities for at least thirty (30) persons and which hold an on-sale intoxicating liquor license may serve intoxicating liquor between the hours of ten o’clock (10:00) A.M. eight o’clock (8:00) A.M. and two o’clock (2:00) A.M. on Sundays in conjunction with the sale of food upon obtaining a Sunday Sales license from the City. (Ord. 475, 10-9-89; Amended, Ord. 717, 7-28-03; Ord. 843, 5-20-10; Ord. 851, 10-7-10)
