The City of Mounds View issued an intoxicating liquor license for Moe’s in June of 2009, and their renewal is before the Council for consideration. Moe’s Intoxicating Liquor License will expire June 30, 2010. 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. Discussion: Moe’s has submitted their city liquor license application materials (to include an outdoor liquor endorsement to sell liquor on their outdoor deck), and the applicable fees. The following investigations and inspections have been conducted to determine whether there is cause for the City to deny the application: Police Inquiry and Investigations (Mounds View Police Department) The Mounds View Police Department has issued a satisfactory report for Moe’s. Staff has submitted a background check application on the owner of Moe’s to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA). Staff has not received the background check back from BCA. The liquor license will be contingent on a satisfactory background check. Attached are the police calls for your reference.
