(B) The date a certification under XX.XX is issued will have no impact on the applicant’s registration processing. (C) Once an application is considered complete, the City Clerk shall inform the applicant as such, process the application fees, and forward the application to the [insert authority] for approval or denial. XX.XX Retail Registration Limits A) The City will issue one registration per 12,500 residents in the City, except that the City will not issue any registrations if there is one registration per 12,500 residents in ____ County. B) The number of registrations available will be calculated by dividing the State Demographer’s estimate of the City’s population by 12,500 and rounding up to the nearest whole number. C) The City will update the number of registrations available based on the most recent data available from the State Demographer on January 1 and June 1 each year. D) The number of registrations in the County will be based on the number of registrations in the County on the day the application is received/the [-1 from deadline] day the application is received. E) If the number of registrations available within the City decreases based on the County reaching the one per 12,500 threshold or the City’s population decreases below a previous threshold, businesses with current registrations will be allowed to maintain and renew their registrations but no new registration will be issued. F) Registrations issued to businesses with a license preapproval will count toward the City’s registration limit. G) Businesses operating under a tribal compact entered into under Minnesota Statutes, section 3.9224 or 3.9228 and tribally issued licenses and registrations are/are not counted towards the City’s registration limit and the County registration limit. XX.XX Application. The applicant must submit a registration application or renewal form provided by the City. The form may be amended from time to time by the City Administrator, but must include or be accompanied by: A) Name of the property owner B) Name of the applicant C) Address and parcel ID for the property for which the registration is sought D) Certification that the applicant complies with the requirements of this Chapter E) The fees as described in XX.XX. F) Proof of taxes, assessments, utility charges of other financial claims of the city of the state are current. G) A copy of a valid state license or written notice of OCM license preapproval H) [insert other standards] Commented [JS7]: This process could be based on other factors, but first come, first served seems the simplest if there is a registration cap Commented [JS8]: Optional Commented [JS9]: The administrative rules provide that the city’s estimates shall be determined by the “most recent population estimates from the Minnesota State Demographer.” This may imply that the city would need to update the number as soon as the estimates are released, but including this provision seems like a good idea to put some order to this process. Commented [JS10]: I recommending including the date the City will receive/check the data from the County. Commented [JS11]: This provides businesses with the ability to continue operating should the city’s population estimate fall below a threshold. This is not required but would result in less confusion. Commented [JS12]: This is not addressed in the rules or statute. This addresses a situation where a business receives a license preapproval (which is good for 18 months) and that business registers with the City. During that 18 months, no businesses could register and operate. The alternative would be to have a business with an actual license supplant a license preapproval which might not be allowed. Commented [JS13]: City may, but are not required to count these businesses towards a registration limit. Determining this on the front end will help address questions.
