The licenses are subject to the terms, including license fee, imposed by the city. The licenses issued under this section are subject to all laws and ordinances governing the sale of intoxicating liquor except M.S. §§ 340A.409 and 340A.504, Subd. 3(d), and the laws and ordinances which by their nature are not applicable. Temporary licenses must first be approved by the Commissioner of Public Safety before they become valid. No more than three 4-day, four 3-day, or six 2-day temporary licenses, in any combination not to exceed 12 days per year, may be issued for the sale of alcoholic beverages to any one organization or registered political committee, or for any one location within a 12 month period.
