I I I Council Meeting Minutes February 25, 1986 Council Business, continued Kelley reviewed the staff report concerning an ordinace amendment to allow Sunday liquor sales by clubs, and indicated that, because the state statutes permit the sale of intoxicating liquor on Sunday and the City's ordinance does not include "Clubs," there is a lack of harmony between the two. Kelley stated the Eagles Club, which does hold an on-sale club license, are inter- ested in extending their license to Sunday liquor sales. Benke asked if food sales are treated the same way with a club; Kelley indicated they are governed by the same percentage and feels the Eagles Club can maintain the standards. Schmidt recalled the state law was changed from 12:00 Noon; Kelley stated the state passed permissive legislation allowing for cities at local option, to move from Noon to 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, which was brought to council over three years ago at which time council denied the option. Schmidt asked LeFevere if he was aware of any other legislation which impacts Sunday liquor sales; LeFevere was not aware of any new legislation, but would check. Larry Karlen, 173 Windsor Court, Chairman of the Trustees of the New Brighton Eagles, felt the lack of change in the ordinance was an oversight; noted the Eagles Club's major functions are on Saturday and Sunday, and would like to operate with a Sunday license as soon as possible. Williams asked Karlen for clarification that the Eagles Club would be able to meet the meal requirements; Karlen stated they have meals in-house on Sunday and felt confident they would meet the meal requirement. Schmidt commented that no liquor license establishment in the City have given us a problem, especially the Eagles Club; Kelley confirmed. Motion by Williams, seconded by Schmidt, to WAIVE THE READING, HOLD THE FIRST READING, OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 4-96(1) OF THE NEW BRIGHTON CITY CODE. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Winkels reviewed the staff report concerning a resolution setting zoning and platting fees. Benke asked if we could put into effect a variable fee schedule; Winkels indicated that a variable fee schedule is not well received from those making applications in the two suburbs of which he was aware had that type of schedule, and felt a varia- ble fee schedule could be counter-productive.
