Mounds View City Council September 27, 2010 Regular Meeting Page 4 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 1 2 ORIGINAL MOTION VOTE: 3 4 Council Member Mueller thanked Staff for presenting a thorough report on the sign issues in the 5 City and for reviewing the Ordinance with Council. 6 7 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 8 9 C. Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 851, an Ordinance Amending 10 Chapters 502 and 503 of the Mounds View City Code about the Sale of 11 Intoxicating Liquor on Sundays. 12 13 City Administrator Ericson explained the City Council adopted Ordinance 843 earlier this year 14 on May 10, 2010. The ordinance made numerous changes to both Chapter 502 and 503 15 regulating liquor sales in the City of Mounds View. One of the changes in Ordinance 843 16 addressed liquor sales on Sundays. The City Council deleted reference to an additional license 17 that could be obtained by establishments to provide for sales of alcohol from 10:00 am to noon 18 on Sundays. It was staffs understanding that no licensed entity served alcohol during this time, 19 since no establishment had ever requested the additional license. 20 21 City Administrator Ericson indicated it has since come to staff’s attention that both Mermaid and 22 Moe’s have a history of serving alcohol on Sundays before noon, usually in conjunction with a 23 brunch or some other food service. Neither owner was aware that a separate license in addition 24 to the Sunday license was needed to serve for the two hours before noon on Sundays. (The State 25 of MN allows for the sale and service of alcohol beginning at 10 a.m. Sundays.) While the 26 original language, now deleted, seemed fairly straightforward, clearly it had been interpreted 27 otherwise by two of our licensed establishments. Staff recommends approval of the second 28 reading and adoption of Ordinance 851. 29 30 Council Member Mueller questioned how the local businesses would be notified of the change. 31 City Administrator Ericson stated he has been in contact with the two local establishments and 32 would be in further contact with them. 33 34 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance 851, 35 an Ordinance Amending Chapters 502 and 503 of the Mounds View City Code regarding the 36 Sale of Intoxicating Liquor on Sundays and publish a summary. 37 38 ROLL CALL: Hull/Stigney/Mueller/Gunn/Flaherty. 39 40 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 41 42 D.
