Item No: 09B Meeting Date: June 12, 2017 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: ____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Continued Public Hearing: Resolution 8772, a Resolution to Consider an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License Renewal for Moe’s located at 2400 Mounds View Boulevard REVISED AS OF 06/12/2017 – 3:15 P.M. Introduction: In accordance with Chapter 502 of the Mounds View City Code, a public hearing is required for all liquor license renewals. The City of Mounds View issued an intoxicating liquor license for Moe’s effective July 1, 2016. This license will expire on June 30, 2017. 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 City’s official newspaper. This public hearing was originally scheduled on May 23, 2017. The public hearing was continued to this meeting because Moe’s had not submitted their city liquor license application materials and the applicable fees by the deadline. Discussion: The following investigations and inspections have been conducted to determine whether there is cause for the City to deny the application: Police Inquiry and Investigations (Mounds View Police Department) Staff has submitted a criminal background check to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and has not received the criminal background check. This liquor license renewal will be contingent on a satisfactory background check. Moe’s passed their liquor compliance check. Utility Billing Inquiry (City of Mounds View) Finance Department has issued an unsatisfactory report due to the non-payment of the delinquent utility bill of $1,723.72. Moe’s is up to date on payment of their property taxes. It has come to Staff’s attention on Friday, June 9, 2017, that Moe’s was delinquent in payment of their liquor sales taxes to the Minnesota Department of Revenue. At 2:30 p.m., on Monday, June 12, 2017, Mr. Jeff Moritko (manager of Moe’s) paid the outstanding utility bill (by check), and also paid the delinquent liquor sales taxes to the Minnesota Department of Revenue (by wire transfer). Fire Inspection (City of Mounds View Fire Marshal) Moe’s received a satisfactory fire inspection.
