City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia

Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Consider refunding a portion of the liquor license fee for Prospects
Bar and Restaurant.
Deadline/ Timeline: N/A
Background: • Prospects Bar and Restaurant ceased business in September, 2008
when it was replaced with Mi Casita Mexican Grill.
• Ordinance No. 93, Section 23 (E) provides that"a refund of a pro
rata share of an annual license fee may occur only if authorized by
M.S. 340A.408, Subd. 5, as it may be amended from time to
time." The statute lists several reasons that a pro-rata share of the
fee may be refunded, including if"the licensee ceases to carry
on the licensed business under the license." The ordinance
allows fees to be prorated on a quarterly basis.
Recommendation: I recommend that the City Council approve a refund of the liquor
license fee for Prospects for the fourth quarter of 2008 in the amount
of$550.00.

RE: Prospects liquor license refund
Dear City Council,
This letter is to request the refund for our liquor license at Prospects restaurant
and bar. The license was canceled on September 2008 and would be for the
last quarter of that year. Thank you very much for your consideration in this
matter
Sincerely,
��('�_
