Attached is an ordinance that <br /> would include these changes in City Code. They are as follows: <br /> Microdistillery Off-sale License <br /> Allows microdistilleries,who make their own distilled spirits, such as rum or vodka, to sell their product <br /> for off-sale consumption with a license from the city with certain restrictions. <br /> Off-sale Growlers on Sunday <br /> Our code was previously amended to allow the off-sale of growlers by taprooms. This ordinance allows <br /> for the off-sale of growlers on Sundays. <br /> Expansion of Temporary On-sale Intoxicating License <br /> In the past, this license has been limited to club, charitable,religions, or non-profit organizations. Brewers <br /> were also included recently. Now state law has expanded to allow a microdistillery to obtain this license. <br /> An example of this type of license is the annual wine-tasting event sponsored by the Rotary. <br /> Instructional Permit Used as Proof of Age <br /> State law allows an instructional permit to be used as proof of age for purchasing alcohol. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> The fee schedule will need to be amended to include a fee for the microdistillery off-sale license. There is <br /> no hurry to set this fee at the current time because we currently do not have any microdistilleries in the <br /> city. The fee schedule is planned for its annual review this fall and this new fee will be included in the <br /> schedule. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Ordinance <br /> POWERED 6T <br /> Template Updoted 4/14 INAWRE1 <br />
