A. Intent And Purpose: It is the intent and purpose of this section to effectuate the authorization to issue temporary on- sale intoxicating liquor licenses given to municipalities by Minnesota statutes section 340A.404, subdivision 10, and to supplement, but not repeal, any part of this chapter.
B. Authorized Licensees: Temporary on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses may only be issued to a club or charitable, religious or other nonprofit organization in existence for at least three (3) years, a political committee registered under Minnesota statutes section 10A.14, or a state university in connection with a social event within the city sponsored by the licensee.
C. Authorized Purposes: A temporary on-sale intoxicating liquor license shall permit the licensee to sell intoxicating liquor for consumption at a specific location. A temporary on-sale intoxicating liquor license may authorize on-sales of intoxicating liquor at premises other than the premises the licensee owns or permanently occupies. 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.
D. Duration Of License: The license may authorize the on-sale of intoxicating liquor for not more than four (4) consecutive days.
E. Application And Issuance Of License: An applicant for a temporary on-sale liquor license shall submit an application for approval by the city to the city clerk and the city council shall approve or deny the license application in its discretion after a hearing.
F. License Fee: The fee for a temporary on-sale liquor license shall be established by resolution of the city council, and must be paid prior to issuance of such license.
G. Presence Of Police Officer: If the temporary on-sale liquor license allows the sale of alcoholic beverages on public property, the licensee shall hire a uniformed police officer to remain on the premises during the use of the license.
H. Approval By Commissioner Of Public Safety: A temporary on-sale liquor license issued under this section is not valid unless first approved by the commissioner of public safety.
I. Insurance: Applicants must provide proof of the same liability insurance coverage required for any other retail liquor license. (Ord. 1276, 1-27-2014)
