EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE: September 13, 2000
AGENDA ITEM: On Sale - Licenses On Public Premise
AGENDA NO.
PREPARED BY: Dan Schultz, Parks and Recreation Director
ffM "2
ATTACHMENTS: Liquor ordinance
APPROVED BY:
City of Rosemount allows on -sale liquor license holders exclusively from the cities of Rosemount, Apple
Valley, Eagan, Hastings, Inver Grove Heights, Coates, Lakeville and Empire Township, to serve intoxicating
beverages at the Community Center through the On -Sale On Public Premise Ordinance.
This ordinance enables local on -sale establishments a chance to expand their business through the Community
Center and safeguards the City and the customer with added insurance protection. The Rosemount providers
are not required to pay a fee for the On -Sale License on Public Premise license, non - resident providers are
required to pay a fee of $100 yearly.
The Parks and Recreation Department currently has five liquor providers that have been approved by council
to serve alcohol at the Community Center. Two of the approved businesses have asked to be placed on the list
of providers that is given to those customers using the banquet room for weddings, parties and other social
gatherings.
It is staff's opinion that the low number of approved liquor providers is limiting our customer's choices and
levels of service being provided. Staff would like to discuss two items with the council:
1. Expanding the number of cities where businesses with an on -sale license would be
eligible to be approved for an On -Sale on Public Premise License.
2. Allowing those businesses holding a State Catering license to provide services at the
Community Center. The State Catering License allows those approved businesses to
serve food and alcohol, but not alcohol alone.
