Council approval. It applies to all agenda memos submitted by City staff or a designated contractor.

The workflow runs in two phases:
Phase 1 — Committee Level. Department Head submission to City Attorney (purpose dependent), and City
Administrator review, and ends with the item going through the required committee(s).

Purpose of Committee Request General Business
Background / Request Lake City Social holds an annual fundraiser for pediatric cancer research that
requires them to temporarily extend the premises on their alcohol license to
include the parking lot and fenced in awning area out front.
This event has successfully occurred without issue for the past 4 years, this year
will be the 5th annual event, no issues have come up during review, and the
applicant is also obtaining their temporary use permit from the Building & Zoning
Department.
This premises change request is normally turned in with the applicant's renewal
paperwork during the spring. Due to various factors, this request was not
received and processed in the normal manner that it has been in the past.
We are requesting that the Council consider and grant the applicant's request to
temporarily extend their premises.
