Item No. 07B Type of Business: PH & CB Meeting Date: April 14, 2008 City Administrator Review: ______ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing to Consider Resolution 7258, a Resolution to Consider an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor and Restaurant Business Licenses for Kevin Halverson and David Tulgren to do business as Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment located at 2400 County Road H2 In accordance with Section 502.08 of the Mounds View City Code, a public hearing is required for all liquor licenses. 502.08: LICENSE HEARING: No issuance of a new license, transfer of an existing license, renewal of an existing license, issuance of temporary special event or banquet licenses, or special outdoor consumption endorsements for the sale of intoxicating liquor on-sale or off-sale, club, Sunday sales or on-sale wine shall be hereafter granted by the Council until a public hearing has been conducted by the Council after published notice in the official newspaper at least ten (10) days in advance of the hearing. The City of Mounds View issued an intoxicating liquor license to Greg Waste, former owner of Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment, in June of 2007. On July 16, 2007, Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment closed its doors. Soon after their closing, the City suspended Mr. Waste’s On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License due to non-payment of property taxes and expiration of their Liquor Liability Insurance Certificate. Mr. Kevin Halverson and Mr. David Tulgren are seriously considering purchasing Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment and have signed a purchase agreement with the realtor (purchase agreement is on file). Their purchase of the property is contingent on receiving approval of their liquor license and restaurant license with the City. Mr. Halverson and Mr. Tulgren have submitted their liquor license and restaurant license application materials and the applicable fees. They also submitted a Liquor Liability Insurance Certificate as required by the City Code. 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 Mounds View/New Brighton Bulletin. Mr. Halverson and Mr. Tulgren have indicated to Staff that the establishment will remain as Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment. Property taxes on this property are current. The following investigations and inspections have been conducted to determine whether there is cause for the City to deny any of the above referenced intoxicating liquor license application: Police Inquiry and Investigations (Mounds View Police Department) The Mounds View Police Department has issued a satisfactory report for Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment. However, there have been noise complaints at 2400 County Road H2 in past years. Staff received a favorable background check on Mr. Halverson and Mr. Tulgren from the Minnesota Department of Criminal Apprehension.
