requirement to have a Wright County Liaison program with the NorthStar factility. Dr. Baumchen and

Wright County Sheriff's Office.

5 1 Consider Resolution 2020-23 Approve 2020 Liquor License Fees & Resolution 2020-24 Approve
Utility Penalties Suspension.
City Clerk Loff presented the staff report and stated the current On -Sale Intoxicating Liquor Licenses will
expire on June 30th. The City currently charges $4,700 for an On -Sale Intoxicating License. These
facilicites have been closed since March 17 due to the Governor's Executive Order. City staff is
recommending crediting these facilities for the months they have been closed for their 2020-2021 license
fee. City Clerk Loff also outlined the recommendation to provide them a 90 day grace period to pay their
2020-2021 license fee to the City. The attached Resolution lists the license holders and the amounts
they will be credited towards their 2020-2021 license fee. She stated that the applicant will still follow all
the requirements to have their license approved before June 30 and the City Clerk will work with each of
them on that process just as usual as well as the other license holders. In addition she stated City Staff
is recommending approval of Resolution 2020-24 that will approve the suspension of any penalty fees on
delinquent utility billing accounts.
After discussion, the City Council concurred to review the liquor license fees again before the 90 day
grace period noting they may be in favor of adjusting that rate further depending on the situation at that
time.
