RESOLUTION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT OF MINNESOTA
LIQUOR CONTROL STATUTES
WHEREAS, the present provisions of the Minnesota Liquor Control
Statutes regarding local control are inflexible and prevent the local muni-
cipality from controlling the dispensation of intoxicating liquor in regard
to local conditions and problems; and
WHEREAS, the League of Minnesota Municipalities and the Hennepin
County League of Municipalities have adopted resolution calling for the
revision of the present Liquor Control statutes to permit local municipalities,
which now or in the future may have municipal liquor facilities, to issue
licenses to private parties to permit dispensation of intoxicating liquors for
on premise consumption; and
WHEREAS, such an amendment would provide the flexibility required
to meet local problems of liquor control:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Brooklyn Center as follows:
1. The City Council endorses and supports legislation presented
in the 1967 session of the Minnesota legislature which would
permit municipalities that now, or in the future, may operate
municipal liquor dispensaries to issue private licenses for
the on- premise consumption of intoxicating liquors while
retaining municipal "off- sale" facilities.
2. The representatives of the citizens of Brooklyn Center, both
in the Senate and House of Representatives, are herewith urged
to support such legislation.
3. The Clerk is hereby directed to distribute copies of this resolution
to the Governor of the State of Minnesota, the Senator and
Representatives of the 32nd District and to the members of the
legislative committees concerned with this type of legislation.
