Approval of 2009 Liquor License Renewals
PROPOSED MOTION:
"The City Council approves the 2009 liquor license renewals as listed on the
attached sheet, with the exception of Cheers Wine & Spirits, contingent upon
receipt of all necessary documentation. The City Council will act separately
on the application from Cheers Wine & Spirits after the administrative
hearing that will be held in April."
Approval requires a simple majority vote of those City Council members
present.
Attached is a listing of all of the liquor licenses that are renewed annually by the
City Council. This renewal is for the licensing period of May 1, 2009 through
April 30, 2010. As of this writing, staff has not received all of the necessary
documentation from every license holder; but this is typical and no license will be
issued until all documentation is complete.
The Carver County Sheriff's Department has completed a background
investigation on the applicants and operating managers of each establishment.
This includes criminal history, outstanding warrants, driving records, and calls to
establishments. This investigation revealed that Cheers Wine & Spirits,
530 West 79th Street failed a compliance check and sold alcohol to a minor.
Representatives of this establishment will be required to attend an administrative
hearing before the City Council in April prior to approval of their license.
Staff also reviewed property tax and utility bill records for each applicant. One
establishment's taxes are delinquent and City Code requires that this be paid prior
to issuance of the license. Staff contacted this establishment and was assured that
they were in the process of making payment. This license will not be issued until
taxes are paid in full.

RECOMMENDA TION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the 2009 liquor license renewals
as listed on the attached sheet, with the exception of Cheers Wine & Spirits,
contingent upon receipt of all necessary documentation. The City Council will act
separately on the application from Cheers Wine & Spirits after the administrative
hearing that will be held in April. Approval requires a simple majority vote of
those City Council members present.
Following Council approval, I will forward all of the licenses to the Liquor
Control Division at the Minnesota Department of Public Safety for final
processing. The state requires that these documents be in their office by
April 1, 2009.
