The Council may issue to a club, charitable, religious, or other non-profit organization in existence for at least three years, or to a political committee registered under M.S. § 10A.14, as it may be amended from time to time, a temporary license for the on-sale of beer or intoxicating liquor in connection with a social event held within the city and sponsored by the licensee. The license may authorize the on-sale of beer or intoxicating liquor for not more than four consecutive days and may authorize on-sales on premises other than premises the licensee owns or permanently occupies. No more than three, four-day, four, three-day, or six, two-day in any combination not to exceed 12 days per year temporary on-sale beer or intoxicating liquor licenses may be issued to any one organization or for any one location, within a 12-month period or one temporary license to any one organization for any one location within any 30-day period. The license may provide that the licensee may contract for intoxicating liquor catering services with the holder of a full-year on-sale intoxicating liquor license issued by any municipality. Temporary licenses are subject to all laws and ordinances governing the sale of intoxicating liquor including those relating to insurance required by state law and/or city code. Temporary licenses are not valid unless approved by the Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety.
