ATTACHMENTS: Minnesota Statute Section 340A.414 APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve the Consumption and Display Permit for The Meeting Point on the premise located at 14537 Dodd Blvd. BACKGROUND A Consumption and Display Permit application request has been made by Anastasia Chouliaris, business manager of The Meeting Point. Ms. Chouliaris has submitted the required liquor license materials, background investigation information and liquor license fees. The Meeting Point is a general and flexible gathering space for both professional and personal events for which customers can rent by the hour, by day, or by several days. The Police Department has conducted the appropriate background check and determined that there are no issues that would disqualify the applicant from obtaining a liquor license. City Code allows for Consumption and Display (Set Up) Permits to be issued to establishments in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 340A.414 for the consumption or display of intoxicating liquor or the serving of any liquid for the purpose of mixing with intoxicating liquor. The permit does not authorize the sale of intoxicating liquor. The City fee for the license is $140.00 for the year (The City fee for the liquor licenses was pro-rated). The license will not be effective until approved by the City of Rosemount and final approval is received by the Department of Public Safety/Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division. The State fee for the license is $250. The license will expire on March 31 each year. The Meeting Point will be subject to inspection by the commissioner and the commissioner’s representative and by peace officers, who may enter and inspect during reasonable hours. Intoxicating liquor sold, served or displayed in violation of law may be seized. Because The Meeting Point is not a club, customers are not allowed to keep a personal supply of intoxicating liquors in lockers on the premise. A ribbon cutting for this event has been scheduled for October 10 th at 4:00 p.m. which will be the official opening date as well.
