City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209�' St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Consider renewal of the liquor license of Chikos Enterprises, dba Mi
Casita Mexican Grill (On-Sale/Sunday On-Sale Intoxicating) for
2011.
Deadline/Timeline: • All annual licenses expire on December 31, 2010
Background: • The license renewal application was submitted on December 10,
2010. The application included fees but not the required
certificate of liquor liability insurance. The Sheriff's Departrnent
has been asked to complete the required investigation,but a report
is not yet available.
• Since the 20101icense renewal was approved, the business failed a
compliance check (12/30/09.) After a hearing, the City Council
imposed a civil penalty of$500 and a one-day license suspension,
which was served on Apri126, 2010. This was the first violation.
• The business failed a second compliance check in October, 15,
2010. After the criminal case against the server has concluded, a
hearing will be scheduled for the City Council to consider civil
penalties. The presumptive civil penalty for a second violation
within a three-year period is $1,000 and at least three consecutive
days suspension.
• Ordinance No. 93 provides that the City Council has discretion on
whether to grant or renew any liquor license.
Recommendation: I recommend that if the Council approves the license it be contingent
upon receipt of an insurance certificate covering the license renewal
period.
