(A) (1) Every application for an “on-sale” or “on-sale wine” license shall state the type of license the applicant is seeking, and in the case of an individual, the applicant’s name, place and date of birth, address of personal residence, representations as to character, with the references as the Council may require, citizenship status, whether the applicant is owner and operator of the restaurant.
(2) If the applicant is a partnership, the application shall state the names and addresses of all partners and all information concerning each partner as is required of a single applicant, the listing of a designated managing partner or partners, and a copy of the partnership agreement shall be provided. If the applicant is a corporation, the corporate name, state of incorporation, articles and bylaws, the name of the manager or proprietor or other agent in charge of the operation and all corporate shareholders, with all information required of a single applicant, shall be provided.
(3) All applicants must provide the name and location of the restaurant in connection with which the proposed license will operate, along with a sketch drawing showing the location where alcohol is to be served, a copy of each summons received by the applicant, partners or shareholders, under M.S. § 340A.802, as it may be amended from time to time, during the preceding year, and 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 State Commissioner of Public Safety, if applicable, and shall be verified and filed with the City Administrator. No person shall make a false statement in an application.
(B) Prior to the issuance of a license, the applicant shall file with the City Administrator a policy with regard to liability in the amount of at least $300,000 single combined, or alternately at least $300,000 coverage for one person and $300,000 for more than one person, and shall comply with the provisions of M.S. § 340A.409, as it may be amended from time to time, relating to liability insurance policies.
(C) The security offered under division (B) above shall be approved by the City Council and, in the case of “on-sale wine” licenses, also by the State Commissioner of Public Safety. 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 is a cause for revocation of the license.
