more information about these sales tax delinquencies, and report back to the City Council at a later date. If Staff does not receive a revised payment plan from Mr. Moritko, or if the City Council rejects the revised payment plan, then the City Council has the following options: 1. Suspension or Revocation of Liquor License: In accordance with §502.04, subd. 2(b), no intoxicating liquor license shall be granted for operation on any premises on which taxes, assessments, utility bills or other financial claims of the Municipality are delinquent or unpaid. The Council may suspend or revoke any liquor license for violation of any provision or condition of the City’s liquor code or any state law regulating the sale of intoxicating liquor. (MV City Code §502.16, subd. 1) If the City Council wishes to start the process of suspension/revocation, then Staff will need to provide written notice to Moe’s that a Public Hearing will be held in suspending/revocating the liquor license. Staff must give the owner eight (8) days written notice in accordance with the City Code. 2. Give Moe’s a Payment Extension. The City Council could give Moe’s an extension on paying of their property taxes. Although this may be an option for the Council to consider, Staff feels that this may just prolong the problem. Second payment due for the 2009 property taxes is a little over two weeks away. The City Council needs to be aware that this option is not consistent under the provisions of the City Code. Delinquency is a violation of §502.04, subd. 2(b), of the City Code, and clearly states that no intoxicating liquor license shall be issued. Staff would like direction on how the City Council would like to proceed. If you need any additional information, then please do not hesitate to contact Staff.
