Bacicground:
Ordinance No. 93, adopted on January 2, 2007, regulates liquor licensing within the City of
Scandia. The Washington County Sheriff's Department conducts compliance checks and reviews
license applications on behalf of the City. Five businesses in Scandia have liquor licenses which
expire on December 31, 2013.

• The Scandia Creamery (On-Sale/Sunday On-Sale Intoxicating)
The applications are in conformance with the reyuirements of Ordinance No. 93. License fees
have been paid. The Sheriff's Department has completed their investigations for Scandia Olde
Towne Liquor and The Scandia Creamery and has found no issues with the licenses. There were
no compliance check failures at these businesses in the past year. The Sheriff's Department has
