Background: Ramsey County property records continue to indicate that Moe's property taxes are delinquent. At the June 8, 2009, City Council Meeting, the owner of Moe's (Jeff Moritko), submitted a payment plan to the City. The payment plan stated that Mr. Moritko would "ear mark" $1,500 per week to property taxes, and would be paid in full (including 1st half of 2009) by October 1, 2009. Moe's liquor license was approved at the June 8, 2009, City Council Meeting contingent on becoming current on property taxes by October 1, 2009. Discussion: Staff contacted Ramsey County Property Records Division on Thursday, October 22, 2009. Ramsey County indicated that Moe's continues to owe property taxes, and are delinquent in the amount of $70,915.74 (this amount includes the second half of 2009 taxes, which were due on October 15, 2009). Staff sent a letter to Mr. Moritko reminding him of his payment agreement with the City Council. In this letter, Staff stated that if property taxes are not paid in full by the October 1, 2009, deadline, then the City Council may consider options to include suspension or revocation of his liquor license. At the September 28, 2009, City Council Meeting, Jeff Moritko submitted a letter to the City Council, which outlined a revised payment plan (attached). On September 28, 2009, it was the consensus of the City Council to invite Jeff Moritko to the next scheduled City Council Meeting to discuss the possibility of approving his revised payment plan. Mr. Moritko intended to appear before the City Council on October 12th, but was unable due to a sick family member. This item was postponed to this meeting to give Mr. Moritko the opportunity to present his revised payment plan to the Council. Mr. Moritko did contact Staff by email, and indicated that he would be attending this meeting.
