§ 110.001 PROVISIONS OF STATE LAW ADOPTED.

   The provisions of M.S. Ch. 340A, as they may be amended from time to time, with reference to the definition of terms, applications for license, granting of license, conditions of license, restrictions on consumption, provisions on sales pertaining to the retail sale, distribution, and consumption of non-intoxicating liquor are hereby adopted and made a part of this subchapter as if fully set out herein except as modified herein.

(Prior Code, § 3-1-1)

§ 110.002 LICENSE REQUIRED.

   (A)   No person, except wholesalers and manufacturers to the extent authorized by law, shall deal in or dispose of by gift, sale, or otherwise, or keep or offer for sale any beer within the city without first having received a license as hereinafter provided. Licenses shall be of two kinds:

      (1)   Retail “on-sale”; and

      (2)   Retail “off-sale”.

   (B)   “On-sale” license shall be granted only to bona fide clubs, beer stores, restaurants, theaters, and hotels where food is prepared and served for consumption on the premises. “On-sale” licenses shall permit the sale of beer for consumption on the premises only.

   (C)   “Off-sale” licenses shall permit the sale of beer at retail in the original package for consumption off the premises only.

(Prior Code, § 3-1-2)

§ 110.003 APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSE.

   (A)   Form. Every application for a license to sell beer shall be made on a form supplied by the city and shall state the name of the applicant, his or her age, representations as to his or her character with such references as may be required, his or her citizenship, whether the application is for “on-sale” or “off-sale”, the business in connection with which the proposed license will operate and its location, whether applicant is owner and operator of the business, how long he or she has been in that business at that place, and other information as the City Council may require from time to time. It shall be unlawful to make any false statement in an application. Applications shall be filed with the City Clerk.

   (B)   Financial responsibility. The liability insurance policy filed as proof of financial responsibility under this section shall conform to M.S. § 340A.409, as it may be amended from time to time. Operation of a business which is required to be licensed by this chapter, without having on file with the city at all times effective proof of financial responsibility, is a cause for revocation of the license.
