Amendment to City Code 3-1: Liquor Regulationsr V CITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: June 17, 2003 AGENDA ITEM: Amendment to City Code 3 -1: Liquor Regulations I AGENDA SECTION: l New Business ATTACHMENTS: Ordinance `-� I APPROVED BY: The City Council is asked to consider amending the city code on Liquor Regulations. During the recently completed legislative session, the Minnesota Legislature amended state law to allow the sale of alcohol at licensed, on -sale establishments until 2:00 a.m. Cities are allowed to have more restrictive hours. Council is asked to consider this ordinance amendment to determine the city's policy for the permitted hours of on -sale alcohol sales. If adopted, this ordinance amendment would authorize the licensed on -sale establishments to be open until 2 :00 a.m. The proposed amendment will result in Rosemount's City Code adopting the hours of sale as listed in Minnesota State Statute. City Code 3 -1 adopts the state law in the ordinance's first paragraph, except to the extent the provisions of the chapter are more restrictive. The ordinance currently regulates hours of sale in section 3 -1 -8, paragraphs D and E and would be more restrictive than the recently passed amendments to state law. By repealing those sections in city code 3 -1 -8, paragraphs D and E, hours and days of sale will be regulated by state law rather than the city's ordinance. RECOMMENDED ACTION: First reading of the ordinance for the purpose of seeking Council direction and informing the community of the proposed amendments to City Code. Adoption of this amendment would be at a later Council Meeting if the Council gives direction to move forward with adoption of the ordinance. COUNCIL ACTION: PREPARED BY: Gary D.
