It is the intention of the City Council that all future amendments to M.S. Ch. 340A are hereby adopted by reference or referenced as if they had been in existence at the time this chapter is adopted.
(Ord. 172, passed 7-25-11)
§ 111.02 CITY MAY BE MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN STATE LAW.
   The Council is authorized by the provisions of M.S. § 340A.509, as it may be amended from time to time, to impose, and has imposed in this chapter, additional restrictions on the sale and possession of alcoholic beverages within its limits beyond those contained in M.S. Ch. 340A, as it may be amended from time to time.
(Ord. 172, passed 7-25-11)
§ 111.03 DEFINITIONS.
   In addition to the definitions contained in M.S. § 340A.101, as it may be amended from time to time, for the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning:
   LIQUOR. As used in this chapter, without modification by the words an “intoxicating” or a “3.2 percent malt” includes both intoxicating liquor and 3.2 percent mall liquor.
   PREMISES OR LICENSED PREMISES. The compact and contiguous space specified in the license.

§ 111.04 NUDITY ON THE PREMISES OF LICENSED ESTABLISHMENTS PROHIBITED.
   (A)   The City Council finds that it is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare of the people of the city that nudity is prohibited as provided in this section on the premises of any establishment licensed under this chapter. This is to protect and assist the owners, operators, and employees of the establishment, as well as patrons and the public in general, from harm stemming from the physical immediacy and combination of alcohol, nudity, and sex. The Council especially intends to prevent any subliminal endorsement of sexual harassment or activities likely to lead to the possibility of various criminal conduct, including prostitution, sexual assault, and disorderly conduct. The Council also finds that the prohibition of nudity on the premises of any establishment licensed under this chapter, as set forth in this section, reflects the prevailing community standards of the city.
   (B)   It is unlawful for any licensee to permit or allow any person or persons on the licensed premises when the person does not have his or her buttocks, anus, breasts, and genitals covered with a non-transparent material. It is unlawful for any person to be on the licensed premises when the person does not have his or her buttocks, anus, breasts, and genitals covered with a non-transparent material.
   (C)   A violation of this section is a misdemeanor punishable as provided by law, and is justification for revocation or suspension of any liquor, wine, or 3.2 percent malt liquor license or any other license issued under this chapter or the imposition of a civil penalty under the provisions of § 111.99(B).
(Ord. 172, passed 7-25-11) Penalty, see § 111.99
§ 111.05 CONSUMPTION IN PUBLIC PLACES.
   (A)   No person shall consume intoxicating liquor or 3.2 percent malt liquor in a public park, on any public street, sidewalk, parking lot or alley, or in any public place other than on the premises of an establishment licensed under this chapter, in a municipal liquor dispensary if one exists in the city, or where the consumption and display of liquor is lawfully permitted.
   (B)   No on-sale or off-sale license shall be effective or valid beyond the licensed premises. No alcoholic beverages shall be sold, served or consumed outside of the licensed premises as described in the application for a license and as approved by the city.
(Ord. 172, passed 7-25-11) Penalty, see § 111.99
