ADDITIONAL 1TEMS FOR REVIEW In reviewing the present Ramsey Liquor Ordinances, the Co~mission would like to bring the following areas to the attention of the Council. We reco~rm~end that the City charge $200.00, which is allowable according to State law. The City presently charges $150.00 for an Off-Sale license. 2. Our ordinance presently requires liability insurance of $100,000 per person and $300,000 aggregate. This ~nount of insurance is outdated for this type of business. We feel that the coverage should be $300,000 per person and $1,000,000 aggregate. This recommendation should be discussed with the City's attorney. 3. We see a problem that may arise in the future because of~ one of our present On-Sale establishments not adhereing to th~ present ordinance as it is written. Section 130.051 No. 3 ~ states the followingz The term "restaurant" means any establish-~ ment, under the control of a single proprietor or manager, ~ having appropriate facilities to serve meals, for seating ~ not less than one hundred twenty (120) guests at one time in one (1) or more dining rooms having a total dining area of at least two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet, and where in consideration of payment therefor, meals are regularly served at tables to the general public, and which employs an adequate staff for the usual and suitable service to its guests and the principal part of the business of which is the serving of foods] (The term "principal p~rt of the business" means ~ more than 40% of gross sales.) / ~/ We think we realize why the Council does not enforce this section of the ordinance in this situation, but we feel that it may leave the City in a precarious situation in the future as far as a. Future On-Sale applicants may want the same privilege b. Liability to the City for not enforcing the ordinance as wTitten. Respectfully submitted, Gary Gorham - Chairman Roy Schumway - Secretary Astrid Guy A1 Kempf Bill Pittman Bob Kuhn - Ex Officio Member
