Clerk-Administrator Ericson contacted Dan Hall (owner of the Mermaid) to discuss a plan on <br />making full payment on property taxes and City utility bill. Mr. Hall indicated on June 4, 2009, <br />that The Mermaid will have everything paid in full when the hotel is bought. The closing on the <br />purchase of the hotel has not taken place. Staff has not received a scheduled date for the <br />closing. <br /> <br />Fire Inspection (City of Mounds View Fire Marshall) <br />The Fire Marshal did inspect the property on June 17, 2009. Attached is a letter to The <br />Mermaid from the Fire Marshal, which outlines the findings of the inspection. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends closing the public hearing. The City Council could either approve their <br />liquor license contingent on a full payment of utility bill, property taxes, a satisfactory <br />background check, and a satisfactory fire re-inspection, or deny renewal in accordance with <br />Section 502.04(b) of the Mounds View City Code. Staff has a resolution prepared in case the <br />City Council wishes to approve the liquor license contingent on full payment of their utility bill, <br />property taxes, satisfactory background check and a satisfactory fire re-inspection. Staff <br />would further recommend setting a deadline for payments on delinquent property taxes and <br />utility bill. <br /> <br />Staff would recommend a property tax payment deadline similar to Moe’s, which is October 1, <br />2009. If property taxes are not paid in full by the deadline, then Staff will report to the City <br />Council at the earliest Work Session or City Council Meeting. The next step for the City <br />Council would be to discuss the option of suspending or revocating the liquor license. <br /> <br />Staff would further recommend a deadline of Friday, July 10, 2009, for their delinquent utility <br />bill. If the utility bill is not paid in full by the deadline, then Staff will report to the City Council <br />at the July 13, 2009, City Council Meeting to discuss the option of suspending or revocating <br />the liquor license. <br /> <br />If approved, the time period for this license will be July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Desaree Crane <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
