City Council meeting of August 7, 2000 Page 5 Engineer would like to have something permanent done. City staff provided a short-term solution to the problem by placing two jersey barriers after the last driveway for traffic traveling from the east or CR57. Two jersey barriers have also been installed to prohibit traffic from passing from the west or CR8. To insure the safety of motorists, ROAD CLOSED signs have been installed on 140'b Street off CR8 and CR57. Type III barricades in front of the jersey barriers have been installed to warn motorists that the road is closed, and additional NO PARKING signs and NO BOAT LAUNCHING signs on 14& Street have been installed. The Council concurred with staff actions, and requested that the City Engineer provide a cost estimate to have guard rails installed.

APPL FROM WOODY'S BAR AND GRILL FOR ON-SALE/OFF-SALE LIQUOR LICENSES Bradley Stuart Smith dbaWoody's Bar and Grill, Inc., has made application to the City of Hugo for on -and off -sale liquor licenses. As per City ordinance, the Washington County Sheriff s Department provided a complete a background investigation into Mr. Smith. While Mr. Smith has no alcohol violations files with the Minnesota Liquor Control Board, and Woody's Bar and Grill has passed the most recent alcohol compliance check conducted by the Bayport Police Department, he does have a number of violations of State law, which upon review of the data, may appear to call into question his moral character, under MS 340A.402, sub (3), "Persons Eligible". Sergeant Timothy Tuthill states that he has found no specific violation in itself that would disqualify the applicant, Mr. Smith, from being eligible for the liquor license requested. City staff made no recommendation regarding the approval of the application from Mr. Smith dbaWoody's Bar and Grill, and requested that the Council thoroughly review the information received from the applicant. Mr. Smith appeared before the Council and addressed each item on Sergeant Tuthill's report.
