Application for license

A. Form. Every application for a license issued under this Section shall be on a form provided by the City. Every application shall state the name of the applicant, the applicant's age, representations as to the applicant's character, with references as the City Council may require, the type of license applied for, the business in connection with which the proposed license will operate and its location, a description of the premises, whether the applicant is owner and operator of the business, how long the applicant has been in that business at that place, and other information as the City Council may require from time to time. An application for an on-sale intoxicating liquor license shall be in the form prescribed by the Commissioner of Public Safety and shall also contain the information required in this Section. The form shall be verified and filed with the City. No person shall make a false statement in an application. B. Financial responsibility. Prior to the issuance of any license under this Section, the applicant shall demonstrate proof of financial responsibility as defined in M.S. § 340A.409, as it may be amended from time to time, with regard to liability under M.S. § 340A.801, as it may be amended from time to time. This proof will be filed with the City and the Commissioner of Public Safety. Any liability insurance policy filed as proof of financial responsibility under this section shall conform to M.S. § 340A.409, as it may be amended from time to time. Operation of a business which is required to be licensed by this Section without having on file with the City at all times effective proof of financial responsibility is a cause for revocation of the license.
