Mounds View City Council June 28, 2010 Regular Meeting Page 7 June 18, 2010. Staff checked with Ramsey County Property Tax Records, and this property is 1 up to date on property tax payments. The Mounds View Police Department has issued a 2 satisfactory report for Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment. The City’s Fire Marshal has 3 issued an unsatisfactory report for Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment. No changes were 4 made to bring the site into compliance. 5 6 Assistant City Administrator Crane indicated the Finance Department issued an unsatisfactory 7 report. Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment owes the City $1,610.69 for a past due utility bill 8 and another totaling $639.00 for attorney fees associated with the Conditional Use Permit for 9 outdoor sales. Staff has sent four certified letters to Robert’s Sports Bar regarding these 10 concerns. 11 12 Assistant City Administrator Crane contacted Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment (Floyd 13 Halverson) on June 22, 2010 to inform the establishment of this delinquency. Staff was 14 informed by Mr. Floyd Halverson that the license holder (Kevin Halverson), is aware of what is 15 owed, and that the City should “…take it up with the owner. That is between the City and Kevin 16 Halverson.” Staff further informed Mr. Floyd Halverson that this delinquency will have to be 17 reported to the City Council and this delinquency may jeopardize their liquor license renewal. 18 The Halverson’s were aware of the public hearing scheduled for this renewal, nut were out of 19 town. 20 21 Staff explained the City Council could either not renew the liquor license due to the delinquency 22 and failed fire inspection or renew the license contingent on full payment of utility bill, attorney 23 fees, and a satisfactory fire inspection by a deadline set by the City Council. If delinquencies are 24 not paid, and no corrections have been made since the last fire inspection by the deadline date, 25 then the City Council could choose to suspend or revoke the liquor license at a later City Council 26 Meeting.
