Motion Carried. 5.1 TEXAN EAR (ON AND OFF SALE LIQUOR LICENSE) On behalf of Will Harris Investments, Inc., Mr. Will Harris has made application to the City of Hugo for on sale and off sale liquor licenses as well as a Sunday liquor license for the Texan Bar located at 17215 Forest Boulevard, Hugo, Minnesota. The Texan bar has been closed since January 1, 1988 for failure to renew their liquor licenses past the 1987 calendar year. It is our understanding that the Texan Par will be under new management, namely Mr. Len McLaughlin,and that the corporate structure of Will Harris Investments has not changed as of the date of this application. The background investigation by the Washington County Sheriff's Department is now complete, and they have indicated no objections to the issuance of this license. Our information indicates that Mr. Harris has either provided, or is in the process of providing, the necessary insurance and liquor liability as required by law. In reviewing Mr. Harris' application, he states on line 20 that there are no delinquent taxes for the premises of business to be licensed. A review of our tax records indicate that there is an excess of $15,900 in delinquent taxes against the property in the City of Hugo owned by Will Harris Investments, Inc. We would recommend that any license approval by the City Council be subject to providing all of the completed insurance and bonding information as well as payment of all delinquent taxes identified by the Washington County assessor's office. Atkinson made motion, Peltier seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 1988-7, RESO- LUTION APPROVING AN ON SALE LIQUOR, ON SALE SUNDAY LIQUOR, AND OFF SALE LIQUOR LICENSES TO WILL HARRIS INVESTMENTS, INC., DLA THE TEXAN EAR SUBJECT TO PROPER INSURANCE AND BONDS AND PAYMENT OF DELINQUENT TAXES.
