15 Minutes CASE #8: <br /> <br />APPROVE OFF-SALE LIQUOR LICENSES FOR <br /> M & L LIQUOR AND DISCOUNT 10 LIQUOR <br /> By: Mike Auspos, Chief of Police <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The off-sale liquor licenses of M & L Liquor and Discount 10 Liquor are up for <br />renewal with an expiration date of midnight, June 30, 1987. To date I have <br />received from M & L Liquor their application for renewal, license fee, and <br />liability insurance certificate. I do not yet have the surety bond required by <br />ordinance. I have talked via phone with M & L Liquor's provider and was told <br />they are sending out the bond to M & L Liquor to be signed and forwarded to the <br />City. <br /> <br />Discount 10 Liquor has submitted their application for renewal, paid the fee, <br />and provided a surety bond. As of this date they have not provided a <br />certificate of insurance. I have received a letter from the State of Minnesota <br />Department of Revenue notifying the City not to renew Discount 10 Liquor's <br />license for off-sale until the State issues to the City a tax clearance <br />certificate. We do not now have such a certificate. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The Director of the Liquor Control Commission requires that off-sale licenses <br />and other related documents be forwarded to the Director no less than 30 days <br />prior to the expiration date (June 30, 1987) for the State's approval. I have <br />spoken with the Assistant Director and he said this is not a hard and fast rule <br />and if ~the documents are received by June 23, 1987, they could affirm the <br />renewal. This would leave time for approval by the City Council at the June <br />22, 1987 meeting, but there would be no room for error or resubmission of <br />unapproved documents. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />If the City Attorney concurs, it is recommended that the City approve issuance <br />of both licenses upon the condition that neither license will be submitted to <br />the State Liquor Control Division for their approval until applicants have <br />submitted the proper documents to the City. Specifically, M & L Liquor is to <br />provide a surety bond as required by City ordinance. Discount 10 Liquor is to <br />provide a certificate of insurance meeting ordinance requirements and the City <br />must receive a tax clearance certificate from the State Department of Revenue. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />Administrator X <br />Attorney X <br />Engineer <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br />Finance Officer <br />Public Works Superintendent <br />Other <br /> <br /> <br />
