(A) Form. Every application for a license to sell liquor shall state the name of the applicant, his or her age, representations as to his or her character, with such references as the Council may require, his or her citizenship, the type of license applied for, the business in connection with which the proposed license will operate and its location, whether the applicant is owner and operator of the business, how long he or she has been in that business at that place and such other information as the Council may require from time to time. In addition to containing the information, the application shall be in the form prescribed by the Liquor Control Director and shall be verified and filed with the City Clerk/Treasurer. No person shall make a false statement in an application.
(B) Liquor liability. Prior to the issuance of a liquor license, the applicant shall file with the City Clerk/Treasurer a liability insurance policy in the amount of $100,000 coverage for 1 person and $300,000 coverage for more than 1 person and shall comply with the provisions of M.S. Ch. 340A relating to liability insurance policies. If a liability insurance policy is made subject to all the conditions of a bond under that statute, the policy may be accepted by the council in lieu of the bond required under divisions (B) above.
(C) Approval of security. The security offered under division (B) above shall be approved by the City Council and in the case of applicants for “on-sale” wine licenses and “off-sale” licenses, by the state Liquor Control Director. Surety bonds and liability insurance policies shall be approved as to form by the City Attorney. Operation of a licensed business without having on file with the city at all times effective security as required in division (B) hereof is a cause for revocation of the license.
