RESOLUTION NO. 2000-206
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE SALE OF WINE,
FOR OFF-PREMISE CONSUMPTION, IN OUTLETS
OTHER THAN THE MUNICIPAL LIQUOR STORES
WHEREAS, there is a proposal before the Minnesota Legislature that, if adopted and made law,
would allow convenience stores, grocery stores, gas stations and other similar retail outlets to sell
wine, wine coolers and associated products for off-premise consumption; and
WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie is endeavoring to curtail youth access to alcohol and tobacco
products; and
WHEREAS, the proliferation of types of outlets where the sale of alcohol provides additional
opportunities for youth to have access to alcohol; and
WHEREAS, the sale of wine in any (city) business outlet, for off-premise consumption, other
than the City's municipal liquor stores would be detrimental to the financial condition of the City
and potentially cause a need for increasing property taxes.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie that
they hereby oppose the sale of wine, for off-premise consumption, in outlets other than the
authorized municipal liquor stores.
ADOPTED by the City Council December 19, 2000.
