Item No. 07C1 Type of Business: PH & CB Meeting Date: May 22, 2006 City Administrator Review: ______ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Desaree Crane, Administrative Assistant Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing to Consider Resolution 6814, a Resolution Approving a Transfer of Ownership for an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License from Jake’s Sports Café, Inc. to JVM Investments, Inc., dba Moe’s located at 2400 Highway 10 Section 502.08 of the City Code requires that a public hearing be held prior to any intoxicating liquor license. The City of Mounds View issued an on-sale intoxicating liquor license for Jake’s Sports Cafe on June 27, 2005. Jake’s Sports Café will close after the Memorial Day holiday and will open as Moe’s in mid-June. JVM Investments, Inc.’s owner, Jeffrey Moritko has submitted the city liquor license application materials (to include the application to stay open until 2am per Ordinance 717), and the applicable fees. 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 The report has not come back from the Minnesota Department of Criminal Apprehension for Jeffrey Moritko, owner of JVM Investments, Inc. The Intoxicating liquor license will be pending a satisfactory report from this agency. This report should arrive within a week. Utility Billing Inquiry (City of Mounds View) Jake’s Sports Café does owe the City of Mounds View $6,770.64. This bill is not due until May 31, 2006, and this transfer of liquor license will not be processed unless this payment is made in full. Jake’s Sports Café recently had a water leak, which caused the large amount owed on the utility bill. Fire Inspection (City of Mounds View Fire Marshal) The City’s Fire Marshal has inspected the location currently called Jake’s Sports Café and issued a satisfactory report. However, the establishment will be re-inspected when the transferring of building ownership is finalized at the end of May. Recommendation Staff recommends approval transfer of ownership from Jake’s Sports Café to JVM Investments, Inc., pending the payment of the utility bill and a satisfactory report from the Minnesota Department of Criminal Apprehension. The establishment will have another fire inspection when the building ownership is finalized. Respectfully Submitted Desaree M. Crane
