INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend approval of the above noted retail
alcohol license applications.
BACKGROUND
State and city codes require that a retail alcohol license be obtained to sell beer, wine, or alcoholic
liquor in the city. Applications and licenses are issued by the Iowa Alcohol Beverage Division
(ABD) in conjunction with cities, who are defined as the local authority in State Code Chapter 123
on alcoholic beverage control. The City Clerk's Office is the local authority for City of Dubuque
retail alcohol license applications and therefore processes each application on behalf of the city.
per City Code §4-2B-9, City Council action is required on all retail alcohol license applications
before the application is forwarded to the Iowa ABD for further action.
DISCUSSION
The City Clerk's Office submits recommendations for approval of all new and additional privilege
retail alcohol license applications. New applications include special events; however, the City
Clerk's Office indicates special events separately in memos and resolutions for prompt reference.
Additionally, per City Code §4-2B-9, the City Clerk's Office is authorized to issue provisional
approval for new and renewal applications for liquor, beer, and wine licenses and permits prior to
regularly scheduled City Council meetings when the applicants have met all of the application and
inspection provisions of the city and state codes. The City Clerk's Office issues provisional
approval to applicants when approval is deemed necessary prior to a regularly scheduled City
Council meeting. All provisional approvals are placed on the next regularly scheduled City Council
Agenda for review and either approval or revocation by the City Council. The above noted
applications have fulfilled all pertinent application and inspection provisions set forth in city and
state codes.
The Dubuque Police Department submits recommendations for retail alcohol license renewal
applications and details their annual calls for service on each establishment.
RECOMMENDATION
I respectfully request approval of the above noted retail alcohol license applications as submitted.
