EGty1� ,.,�� Request for Action <br /> River <br /> To Item Number <br /> Mayor and City Council 4.4 <br /> Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> Consent December 4, 2017 Jessica Miller, Executive Secretary/Deputy City <br /> Clerk <br /> Item Description Reviewed by <br /> Extended Hours for Alcohol Service during Super Tina Allard, City Clerk <br /> Bowl LII Reviewed by <br /> Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> Action Requested <br /> Adopt,by motion, an ordinance extending hours for the sale of intoxicating and 3.2 malt liquor until 4:00 <br /> a.m., each day during Super Bowl LII weekend, February 2 - 5, 2018. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> The Legislature passed a special law allowing establishments serving on-sale intoxicating liquor or 3.2 <br /> malt liquor to remain open until 4 a.m., February 2 -5, 2018, subject to approval by the city. <br /> Establishments must be issued a special permit from the city before they can participate in the extended <br /> hours. <br /> Staff contacted multiple establishments and only one expressed an interest in extending their hours; <br /> however, a few others commented they would be interested if the Minnesota Vikings were to play in the <br /> Super Bowl. Adopting the ordinance now allows staff ample time to put together an application,provide <br /> notice to the establishments, and process any applications that may be received. <br /> This ordinance will not change the city's code with regard to licensing. This action only allows the city to <br /> issue a temporary permit for current liquor establishments to sell liquor for extended hours only during <br /> the weekend of Super Bowl 2018. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> State law allows the city to charge an amount not to exceed $250. Staff feels $100 covers the additional <br /> costs and staff time involved in issuing the special 4 a.m. permits. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Ordinance <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community Pitb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional P,`01 W E H E 8 6 T <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAWRE1 <br />
