To: Michelle Olson Bate: September 3 2009 <br /> :r <br /> From: Rebecca Brazys <br /> Re: wine Tasting Proposal for Celebrating Arden.Mills Event <br /> In an effort to determine the legalities of the Cityholding a wine tasting event _ <br /> g � � I <br /> contacted the following individuals and have included their remarks below. <br /> From: Carl Polla, Special Investigator <br /> Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement.Division <br /> Minnesota Department of Public Safety <br /> "There are two laws concerning urine tasting. The first is as a fund-raiser' <br /> g in <br /> which no off-sale store may be involved. The second is run by an off-sale stare <br /> and the money collected must only cover the cost of the event and cannot be used <br /> as a fundraiser. This law would not allow an off-sale store to run YOUR.event <br /> because it would be at a temporary license location which is not allowed. The <br /> time, knowledge, etc. to run a fund-raisin event is hard to find outside e the liquor <br /> industry. That is why off-sale stares are omen looked at for these events. As far <br /> as where it is held,the City would have to either obtain a temporary license,for <br /> p � <br /> City Hall issued to a non-profit agency, or to a restaurant with a state issued liq <br /> uor <br /> catering permit to hold the event." <br /> From: Rachel Carlson <br /> Staff Attorney <br /> League of Minnesota Cities Legal Research <br /> "In a City without municipal liquor, a city-sponsored wine tasting g would require a <br /> temporary license. But state statutes only allows such a license to be issued to a <br /> non-profit agency, such as a fire relief association or the Lions." <br />
