Item 01 Monday, March 1, 2010 Work Session Page 2 caterer’s permits, then the City Attorney recommended removing this subdivision from the City Code. §502.04, subd. 2(b): Subdivision 2(b) (Places Ineligible for License) states that no license shall be granted for operation on any premises on which taxes, assessments utility bills or other financial claims of the Municipality are delinquent of unpaid. Would the City Council like this provision to be a requirement of an initial license application, a requirement to maintain a license, and yearly license renewal? Staff researched a number of cities, and found three (3) cities with similar provisions. Coon Rapids: Places Ineligible for Licenses: (1) No license shall be granted or renewed for operation on any premises on which taxes, assessments, or other financial claims of the City or of the state are due, delinquent, or unpaid, unless an action pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 278, is pending. Shoreview: License Eligibility – Premises: No license shall be issued for a premises: (2) Upon which taxes, assessments, or other financial claims of the City are delinquent or unpaid. Spring Lake Park: Places Ineligible for License: (1) No license shall be granted or renewed for operation on any premises on which taxes, assessments, or other financial claims of the city, county or of the state are due, delinquent, and unpaid. These taxes and other financial claims include, but are not limited to, all state, federal, county or city sales, employment and real estate taxes. In the event of Minnesota Statute 278, as it may be amended from time to time, questioning the amount of validity of taxes, the Council may, on application by the licensee, waive strict compliance with this provision; no waiver may be granted, however, for taxes or any portion thereof which remain unpaid for a period exceeding one year after becoming due.
