Re: Liquor License Renewals
Background:
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, 2014.
Issue:
Should renewal of three of the liquor licenses be approved?

The following businesses have applied for renewal of annual liquor licenses:
AJL Enterprises Inc, dba Scandia Olde Towne Liquor (Off -Sale)
The Scandia Creamery (On-Sale/Sunday On -Sale Intoxicating)

The applications are in conformance with the requirements of Ordinance No. 93. License fees
have been paid. The Sheriff's Department has completed their investigations for these businesses
and has found no issues with the licenses. There were no compliance check failures at these
businesses in the past year.
