Closing & Serving of Intoxicating Liquor or 3.2 Percent Malt Liquor Renewals (Kelly's Komer & Trio Inn) DATE: June 18, 2004 Last year, Council approved the 2 AM. Closing and Serving for both Kelly's Komer & Trio Inn last year. Mr. Vanderbeek, owner of Wiseguy's Pizza and Pub was not interested in applying for this option last year. Both establishments have submitted documentation and request council's consideration, granting and authorizing the City Clerk to sign the Renewal Applications for Optional Liquor 2AM Applications again this year. I have attached excerpts of last year's meeting minutes, Minnesota State Statute 340A504, Subd. 7; excerpt from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division's Introduction to Minnesota Liquor Laws and Rules, Page 8 & 9, IV Hours & Days of Sale, D & F and Page 11, vn. Restrictions, H; and Ordinance #13, Section 19. Hours aud Days of Sale for your review. On June 16,2004 I spoke with Mr. Vanderbeek via the telephone and questioned whether he would be applying for this Optional Renewal, Mr. Vanderbeek stated that he would decline. I spoke with Deputy Police Chief Bob Makela in an attempt to ascertain whether there was a statistical increase in calls to either Kelly's Komer or Trio Inn during the licensing period of July 1, 2003 to June, 2004 and July 1, 2002 to June 2003. Please find the attached information. Deputy Chief felt that statistically, the figures do not reflect any significant change in calls. Deputy Chief also cautioned that these are only calls to the street address of both establishments. Deputy Chief Makela also stated that the Police Department is 24 hours per day, 7 days a week and does not have a recommendation on this issue.
