Background:
Ordinance No. 93, adopted on January 2, 2007, regulates liquor licensing within the City of
Scandia and provides that the City Council has discretion on whether to grant or renew any
liquor license. The Washington County Sheriff’s Department conducts compliance checks and
reviews license applications on behalf of the City. All annual licenses expire on December 31,
2014.
Issue:
Should the Council approve renewal of the Combination On/Off-Sale and Sunday Intoxicating
Liquor License for Meister’s Bar & Grill?
Proposal Details:
The license renewal application was submitted on November 26, 2014 along with the required
certificate of liquor liability insurance and workers compensation certificate of compliance.
The Sheriff’s Department has completed their investigation and found no issues or compliance
violations with the current license and has signed off on the renewal.
Options:
1) Approve renewal of the liquor license for Meister’s Bar & Grill (Combination On/Off-
Sale and Sunday Intoxicating) for 2015.
2) Delay action on the liquor license renewal.
3) Do not approve the liquor license renewal.
Recommendation:
