Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, 3-12-90 Page 5 LIQ. FEES (Cont'd) Council concurred to direct the Public Works/Safety Committee to study the feasibility of a reduction in the on-sale liquor license fee, either by a "flat-rate" or a percentage, if the employees of the establishment complete a drug and alcohol awareness program. . REQ. EXTENDED OFF-SALE LIQUOR HOURS & 2 ADD'L DAYS OF SALE Council was referred to a letter from Jack Welsch, owner of the Big Ten Supper Club, dated 2-14-90, requesting an extension of the off-sale liquor hours arid adding two additional days, as per Minnesota Statute 340-A.504. Attorney Filla reviewed his letter dated 3-1-90, outlining the current State Law relating to cities being permitted to authorize extended weekday hours for off-sale of intoxicating liquor until 10:00 p.m. and sale on New Years Day and the Fourth of July between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., unless those days fall on a Sunday. He noted to accommodate this change the City would have to amend Section 3-16(d) of the Code of Ordinances, however, the City can be more restrictive than State law. Filla also referred to a typographical error in Section 3-16(d) and recommended correction of the error in conjunction with any changes in the Ordinance. Malone moved, seconded by Mahowald, to direct the City Attorney to draft an amendment to the Code of Ordinances to allow the extension of off-sale liquor hours, add two additional days of sale and correct typographical errors to the appropriate section and return the amendment to Council at their regular meeting held March 26. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) Councilmember Mahowald questioned if surrounding communities have amended their liquor regulations to include extended hours of sale. Deputy Clerk Iago offered to survey surrounding communities. . Attorney Filla commented cities may be more willing to have uniform hours of sale of liquor, based on the businesses ability to remain competitive. Council requested staff conduct a survey of surrounding communities to determine if they have adopted the extended hours and additional days of sale prior to adoption of the amendments.
