Property taxes on this property are <br />current. <br /> <br />The Mermaid has submitted their city liquor license application materials and the applicable fees. <br />The following investigations and inspections have been conducted to determine whether there is <br />cause for the City to deny the above referenced intoxicating liquor license application: <br /> <br />Police Inquiry and Investigations (Mounds View Police Department) <br />The Mounds View Police Department has issued a satisfactory report for The Mermaid. Staff has <br />submitted a criminal background check to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and has <br />not received the criminal background check. This liquor license renewal will be contingent on a <br />satisfactory background check. <br /> <br />Utility Billing Inquiry (City of Mounds View) <br />The Finance Department has issued a satisfactory report for The Mermaid. <br /> <br />Fire Inspection (City of Mounds View Fire Marshal) <br />The City’s Fire Marshal has not inspected this facility.

If this renewal is approved, the time period of this license will be July 1, 2012 to June <br />30, 2013. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />Desaree Crane <br />
