§ 5.04 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 the imposition of a civil penalty under the provisions of § 5.99(B).
§ 5.05 CONSUMPTION IN PUBLIC PLACES.
   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.

§ 5.14  MINORS AS DEFINED IN SECTION 5.01. - UNLAWFUL ACTS.
   (A)   Consumption. It is unlawful for any:
      (1)   Licensee to permit any minor to consume alcoholic beverages on licensed premises.
      (2)   Minor to consume alcoholic beverages except in the household of the minor’s parent or guardian, and then only with the consent of such parent or guardian.
   (B)   Purchasing. It is unlawful for any person:
      (1)   To sell, barter, furnish, or give alcoholic beverages to a minor unless such person is the parent or guardian of the minor, and then only for consumption in the household of such parent or guardian.
      (2)   Minor to purchase or attempt to purchase any alcoholic beverage.
      (3)   To induce a minor to purchase or procure any alcoholic beverage.
   (C)   Possession. It is unlawful for a minor to possess any alcoholic beverage with the intent to consume it at a place other than the household of the minor’s parent or guardian. Possession of an alcoholic beverage by a minor at a place other than the household of the parent or guardian is prima facie evidence of intent to consume it at a place other than the household of his parent or guardian.
   (D)   Entering licensed premises. It is unlawful for any minor, as defined in this chapter, to enter licensed premises for the purpose of purchasing or consuming any alcoholic beverage. It is not unlawful for any person who has attained the age of 18 years to enter licensed premises for the following purposes:
      (1)   To perform work for the establishment, including the serving of alcoholic beverages, unless otherwise prohibited by statute;
      (2)   To consume meals; and
      (3)   To attend social functions that are held in a portion of the establishment where liquor is not sold. It is unlawful for a licensee to permit a person under the age of 18 years to enter licensed premises unless attending a social event at which alcoholic beverages are not sereved, or in the company of a parent or guardian.
   (E)   Misrepresentation of age. It is unlawful for a minor to misrepresent his age for the purpose of purchasing an alcoholic beverage.
   (F)   Proof of age. Proof of age for purchasing and consuming alcoholic beverages may be established only by a valid driver’s license, a Minnesota identification card, or, in case of a foreign national, by a valid passport.

§ 5.20 NUMBER OF LICENSES WHICH MAY BE ISSUED.
   State law establishes the number of liquor licenses that a city may issue. However, the number of licenses which may be granted under this chapter is limited to the number of licenses which were issued as of the effective date of this chapter, even if a larger number of licenses are authorized by law or election. The Council in its sound discretion may provide by ordinance that a larger number of licenses may be issued up to the number of licenses authorized by M.S. Ch. 340A, as it may be amended from time to time. If a larger number of licenses in a particular category has been authorized by a referendum held under the provisions of M.S. § 340A.413, subd. 3, as it may be amended from time to time, but not all of them have been issued, the larger number of licenses is no longer in effect until the Council by ordinance determines that any or all of the licenses may be issued. The Council is not required to issue the full number of licenses that it has available.
