(A) License authorized. Notwithstanding any provision of the city code to the contrary, the Council may issue a license for the temporary on-sale of liquor in connection with a social event sponsored by the licensee. The license may provide that the licensee may contract with the holder of a full-year on-sale license, issued by the city.
(B) Applicant. The applicant for a license under this section must be a club or charitable, religious or other non-profit organization in existence for at least three years, or a political committee registered under M.S. § 10A.14, as it may be amended from time to time.
(C) Terms and conditions of license.
(1) No license is valid until approved by the Commissioner.
(2) No license shall be issued for more than four consecutive days.
(3) No temporary license shall be issued until the city is furnished with written proof that the licensee has dram shop coverage in the amount provided for in this chapter, and that the coverage is in force on the premises where liquor is to be served.
(4) All licenses and licensees are subject to all provisions of statutes and the city code relating to liquor sale and licensing. The licensee shall provide proof of financial responsibility coverage and, in the case of catering by a full-year on-sale licensee, the caterer shall provide proof of the extension of the coverage to the licensed premises.
(5) Licenses may authorize sales on premises other than those owned or permanently occupied by the licensee.
(6) No more than three temporary licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages may be issued to any one organization, or for any one location in a 12-month period.
(D) Insurance required. The Council may, but at no time shall it be under any obligation whatsoever to, grant a temporary liquor license on premises owned or controlled by the city. Any such license may be conditioned, qualified or restricted as the Council sees fit. If the premises to be licensed are owned or under the control of the city, the applicant shall file with the city, prior to issuance of the license, a certificate of liability insurance coverage in at least the sum of $100,000 for injury to any one person, $300,000 for injury to more than one person, and $10,000 for property damage, naming the city as an insured during the license period.
