(A) (1) Forms. Every application for a license to sell liquor shall state the name of the applicant, the applicant’s age, representations as to the applicant’s character, with references as the Council may require, citizenship, the type of license applied for, the business in connection with which the proposed license will operate, and its location, whether the applicant is owner and operator of the business, how long the applicant has been at that address at that place and other information as the Council may require from time to time. Every application shall also include a copy of each summons received by the applicant under M.S. § 340A.802, as it may be amended from time to time, during the preceding year. In addition to containing the information, the application shall be in the form prescribed by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and shall be verified and filed with the City Clerk/Treasurer/Administrator. No person shall make a false statement in an application.
(2) Liability insurance. Prior to the issuance of a liquor license, the applicant shall file with the City Clerk/Treasurer/Administrator a liability insurance policy in the amount of $50,000 coverage for one person and $100,000 coverage 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. If a liability insurance policy is made subject to all the conditions of a bond under that statute, the policy may be accepted by the Council.
(3) Approval of security. The security offered under subsection (3) shall be approved by the City Council and in the case of applicants for on-sale wine licenses and off-sale licenses, by the State Commissioner of Public Safety. Surety bonds and 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 in subsection (3) above, is a cause for revocation of the license.
