Renewal applications were sent to license holders in March for completion. Applications have been completed and all inspections that are required will be completed by the Fire Department throughout the year.

All paperwork must be in order, and fees paid in full prior to issuance of the licenses.

In accordance with section 114.02 (I) of the city code, no on-sale liquor license shall be granted for operation on any premises which does not have city water. The council may waive this requirement for any business having obtained an on sale license prior to July 1, 1997 or operating at a premises where potable water is supplied from a well, as long as water quality from the well is tested and approved by the Minnesota Department of Health in accordance with their standards.

Staff has reached out to the Minnesota Department of Health and Environmental Services regarding the wells at Shakopee Butcher and Stonebrooke Golf Club to verify that they have been tested, and meet water quality requirements.
