The form of thi~ model ordinallce is that used by Statutory Cities as required by
Minnesota Statutes ~ 412.191, suM. 4.
A home role charter often contains provisions concerning bow the city may enallt
orrlinanlles. Home role charter cities should consull their chiU'tAlr and City attorney
before adopting this ordInance in order to ensure that charter provildons are
complied with.
Statutory cities llIlllY publish a summary of lengthy ordinances instead of the
complete ordinance, as provided by Minnesota StatutAls l} 412, suM. 4, but the
summary must meet the requirement5 of Minnesota Statutes ~ 331A.01, S\lbd. 10.
- In .order to fully inform the public of the nature of any couduct that is prohibited,
portions of the summary set Qut the prOVisions Qf the ol-dinance in gruter detail
than those dealing witl! the liquor licensing process.
A suggested SUIilIllllll"y of this ordinance with instroctions fOr its adoption and
publication follows the lllQdel ordinance.
Because this ordinance will affect 'i\:-:!stlng liquor lICelISllllS, a copy of the pr()posild
ordina:nc~ should be mailed to each UcenSile along wllh a Dotll)e of the hearing on the
ordinance In order to try to make tbemaware of the contente of the proposed
ordilllWca and to give them all opportunity to make their vle,ws known.
'>I" Cities which do not ha've a muni~ipalliquor store should nJfadopt those sections of
1\ this model ordinance dealing with municipal liquor stores.
\r l'Iec:ause of internal cross references, Sections 29, 30 and 31 should l'etain tbeir
't numbering in the adopted ordinance even If Sections 23 to 28 dealinl: with
muniCipal liquor stores are deleted. It' Sections 23 to 28 are not adopted, the
ordinalu:e should contain a provision to read: "Sections 23 to 28 are resel'Yed for
futun use." This is So that the reader of the i.lrdinance will not be (onfused by the
absence of these sections.

To: Centerville City Council
City of Centerville
From: Richard DeFoe
Waterworks Beach Club
Thilllk-you lor taking the extra time needed to meet with the license holders of
Centcrville. At the close of that meeting, you asked lor our input regarding the liquor
ordinilllce.
As a license holder, I very much appreciate your willingness to review the
existing ordinilllce. I am in agreement with the representatives Ii-mn the state licensing
board (Mr. Erickson illld Mr. McManus) who advised us to concentrate on the problem
that brought everyone to the meeting in the first place.
An efTective solution may be to draft a clarification letter to be attached to all
license applications when tJley are mailed out to perspective licensees. This would be an
inexpensive way to clear up illlY mislll1derstanding about the application process and
could include the deadline for accepting applications and the date of the cOlmciI meeting
for considering the application.
As far as adopting a new liquor license ordinance, I illn in favor of no action at
this time, for the following reasons:
1) The currcnt ordinance gives the city council substillltialleeway when dealing with
license-holders. r think the cun'ent system promotes healthy eommlll1ication
between the existing council ,md its license holders. The city also enjoys the
ability to be as harsh as necessary when dealing with violations. I think this is illl
enonnous advillltage for the city.
2) There seem to be milllY issues that m,lY be higher on the council's agenda and a
more appropriate use of funds at this time.
[n closing, I would again like to thank the city tor taking time to include the license
[wluers iulhis process. I hope that the above suggestion will provide an ctTcctive
solution, while using a minimal runOlll1t of the city's time, energy illld tax dollars,
Respectfully,

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HUGO, WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA,
ESTABLISHING CHAPTER 148 OF THE HUGO CITY CODE, PERTAINING TO
VIOLATIONS OF LIQUOR LAWS IN LICENSED LIQUOR PREMISES; THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF LICENSE HOLDERS FOR ILLEGAL ACTIVITY; AND
DIRECTING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SCHEDULE OF ADMINISTRATIVE
OFFENSES AND PENALTIES TO BE SET BY CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION
The City Council of the City of Hugo, Washington County, Minnesota, does hereby ordain
as follows:
148.oI
148.02
148.03
148.04
Every licensee shall be responsible for the conduct of the licensee's place of
business and the conditions of sobriety and order in it, as required by Minnesota
Statues Section 340A.50 1, and Hugo City Code Chapter 150, Section 10, Subd. 6.
The act of any employee of the licensee is deemed to be the act of the licensee, and
the licensee shall be liable for the administrative penalties imposed by this Section.
Any violation of the Minnesota liquor laws, including, but not limited to M.S.
Section 340A and City Code Chapter 150, as are listed as administrative penalties
on the Resolution authorized herein, shall be deemed to be an administrative offense
of the licensee, and the licensee shall be subject to the administrative penalties set
forth in the Schedule of Offenses and Penalties described herein.
The use by the City of the administrative process for handling alleged violations of
the liquor laws is non-exclusive of any other available legal remedy. Each and
every possible such legal remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other
remedy at law or in equity, in this State. No delay or omission to exercise any right
or power accruing to the City shall impair any such right or power, or shall be
construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from
time to time and as may be deemed to be proper and expedient in the circumstances.
The Sheriff or any Deputy, or any other person employed by the City, authorized by
the City and having authority to enforce this section shall, upon determining that
there has been a violation of the liquor laws, notify the licensee of the alleged
violation. The notice shall set forth the nature, date and time of violation, the
amount of the scheduled administrative penalty, and the period of any license
suspension or revocation.
148.05
148.06
148.07
148.08
148.09
148.10
.,
Once such notice is given, the alleged violator shall, within thirty (30) days of the
time of issuance of the notice, pay the amount set forth on the Schedule of Penalties
for the violation, or the alleged violator may request a hearing, in writing, as
provided in Section 148.06. The penalty shall be made payable to "The City of
Hugo" and may be paid in person or by mail. Payment shall be deemed to be an
admission of the violation.
Any licensee contesting an administrative penalty or suspension or revocation may,
within seven (7) days of the time of issuance of the Notice of Violation, request a
hearing before the City Council, who shall conduct a hearing to determine if a
violation has occurred. Any such hearing shall be conducted pursuant to the
provisions of Hugo City Code Chapter 232 (the Civil Penalty Ordinance). The City
Council shall have the authority to dismiss the violation, if not proved, or reduce or
waive the penalty for good cause shown. If the violation is sustained by the City
Council, the violator shall pay the administrative fme imposed and the violator's
license shall be suspended or revoked as provided in this Ordinance.
If the Council imposes a civil fine, the Council shall also allow the licensee a
reasonable time to pay the fme. A "reasonable time to pay" means that all fines
shall be paid within sixty (60) days unless the Council detennines that a longer
period of time is justified under the circumstances of the case. Failure of a licensee
to pay a fine within sixty (60) days (or within the time otherwise allowed by the
Council) shall cause that license to become inunediately suspended until full
payment is received by the City Clerk. Any license holder who has had their license
suspended or revoked pursuant to any of the terms of this Ordinance, shall not be
allowed to operate until the license is reinstated. Any operation during a period of
suspension or revocation shall be deemed to be an additional violation of the terms
of the license.
The City Council shall adopt, by Resolution, a Schedule of Offenses and
Administrative Penalties to be imposed upon the commission of a scheduled
offense. Said Schedule and/or penalties may be amended from time to time at the
discretion of the City Council.
No licensee whose license has been revoked shall have the right to apply for a new
license within the City for a period of one (1) year after the date of revocation, nor
shall such licensee be entitled to any refund of the annual license fee paid to the City
for the issuance of the license.
If the Commissioner of Public Safety has imposed a civil tine or suspended or
revoked the license of the licensee for the same act, imposition of any additional
penalty by the City is not precluded provided that the total fine, suspension or
revocatiun does not exceed the maximum allowed by Minnesota Jaw.

148.11
148.12
148.13
Any suspension or revocation for violation of liquor laws applies only to the liquor
license, and not to the food license or other license held by the license holders.
Additionally, all license holders will be deemed, for the purpose of this Ordinance,
to have no prior violations at the time of the enactment of this Ordinance.
If any portion of this Ordinance is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional,
such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct, and independent provision, and
such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof.
111is Ordinance shall be in full force and elIect from and after its passage and
publication according to law.
