\"We do usually ask for 60 days in advance,\" city staff member Miss Nelson said, explaining why the item was handled as an emergency addition. Nelson said the state administers temporary liquor licenses and requests municipal approval; because the Lions Club submitted the application after the usual deadline, staff added the item to the agenda so the city could forward the application to the state.

Steve Olsen, activities chair for the Victoria Lions Club, apologized for the late submission: \"I first want to apologize to staff for making this an emergency. Our the gentleman that usually handled the liquor license and getting the information into the, the city has taken a new position. He's not with the Lions anymore. And quite frankly, this just got lost.\" Olsen described the May 4 event as a community celebration tied to the city's Victoria in Bloom activities and said the club plans family activities and food trucks. \"We're gonna sell, hopefully sell alcohol there. We're tying it into Cinco de Mayo. So we'll we're thinking margaritas and some kind of festivities around that theme,\" Olsen said.

Olsen said the event will include an inflatable obstacle course, llamas that were popular with children last year, and seven food trucks currently confirmed with a possible eighth. He described a bean bag toss tournament to start near 10 a.m., asked that trucks be on site by 9 a.m. with many beginning service around 10–11 a.m., and confirmed the event location as Lions Park. City staff and the council approved the temporary liquor license by voice vote. Nelson and Olsen said the Lions Club will submit future event dates earlier to avoid emergency scheduling.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Victoria Regular Council Meeting - Apr 14 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The City of Victoria approved an emergency addition to the agenda and granted a temporary liquor license for the Victoria Lions Club's community event on May 4 at Lions Park after staff said the application arrived past the city's usual 60‑day window.","taxTitle","City of Victoria, Carver County, Minnesota","taxId",64164,"location","Minnesota","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6047448,"Victoria council approves 2024 year‑end fund balance assignments and transfers, commits $808,406 to revenue stabilization",266,819000,1085000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3533769-07ff3861f7b49ff79585cb5a99c0d120&start=819&end=1085","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3533769-07ff3861f7b49ff79585cb5a99c0d120/thumbnail_819000.jpg","/articles/6047448/Minnesota/Victoria-council-approves-2024-yearend-fund-balance-assignments-and-transfers-commits-808406-to-revenue-stabilization","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6047448-84e29f7e2f4a87011463beb1700eaaf8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771165806&Signature=bikK3Y1hl7MD~dZp4lN1e9SrBCQuJLJgyCU3iyPaUpoQgYHuVEFnaA5SlldPf~RfHdhAwz73hNEQbD6Pq4ojdxydbVLS9rbCc2cHxAwFIUFsljPd8Y9Mhnm40BnpMhPCfrgISYOOmc0GOjBbnpfbYUaqgOzNl5MGVdx1mX2X0VhO9jElJpz59r3jtgnYAynl4wDy3BIu9889bCe7gFFXdlcfm~YOvGfIssdFVGlCjW3~vw5kBat9tf4jUX3Swubur6X6xCdLJkrasOmlJw35qWzesA-Z4qe6f9Bnzx~DgjRv6ezVnIS~T21OokGoDPG37nsgwxeF25w0NfdexQaN1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Victoria council approved three resolutions to finalize 2024 year‑end fund balance assignments and transfers and to create a revenue stabilization commitment after Finance Director/Assistant City Manager Nicole Pollock reviewed carryovers, risk‑management reserves and upcoming cash‑flow needs.

\"Cities are required by law to have a balanced budget,\" Pollock told the council, explaining why the city must assign fund balances and authorize transfers after the fiscal year closes. She said staff recommended committing $808,406 to a revenue stabilization fund to cover building permit revenues that exceeded budgeted amounts.

Pollock listed assigned fund balances and one‑time carryovers: $40,000 for community development projects and studies; reserve amounts for legal fees and insurance renewals, compensated absences, and employee insurance benefit fluctuations; $8,000 carryover for playground replacement at Deer Run; park sign replacements partly funded with American Rescue Plan Act funds; $25,000 for a West Growth area small area plan; $5,000 for vehicle lighting on a CSO vehicle; and previously approved items including the Poppets Field scoreboard and NATO conference expenses.

On transfers, staff recommended $1,066,677 be moved into the Long Term Street Maintenance Fund to provide cash flow for several road projects while state and federal reimbursements are pending. Pollock also described a temporary interfund loan to TIF 1‑9 (the RORS project) to cover startup county fees; she said the loan will be reversed once TIF revenues begin. Two debt service funds were identified for closure and required formal council action.

Council took three separate motions: to approve the fund balance assignment and transfers for year end 2024; to approve the year‑end transfer to the revenue stabilization fund; and to approve temporary interfund accounting and financial reporting needed to close and reconcile funds. Each motion was seconded and carried with an affirmative voice vote.","Finance director Nicole Pollock told the council the city must assign fund balances and authorize transfers to balance the 2024 budget; council approved three resolutions including a $1,066,677 transfer to the Long Term Street Maintenance Fund and a temporary interfund loan to TIF 1‑9.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6047453,"Omni Brewing to rebrand Anki taproom in Victoria; founders plan expanded hours, coffee and added jobs",264,252000,516000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3533769-07ff3861f7b49ff79585cb5a99c0d120&start=252&end=516","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3533769-07ff3861f7b49ff79585cb5a99c0d120/thumbnail_252000.jpg","/articles/6047453/Minnesota/Omni-Brewing-to-rebrand-Anki-taproom-in-Victoria-founders-plan-expanded-hours-coffee-and-added-jobs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6047453-c3779b7ec5f0e501f5b8ff301209ac9b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771165806&Signature=hJ1z2grhnrj9qcxFhjfVcdSsGR9W1tSoG9BTipEUpn3czkyB8fenDfr-nVajnF4ehRVPJ-z8~AJPc1cJIzBlXI3KTMKYXH60Zk4I7xXiE5IROrJ~~cosFkCuUxQPFGH8ff7~b6rtvO-JM4JUpDWMkaqN1cyCpL33oFJQLT2Q3sr0CnuLJgxVpErVD7~Ua7wsD8od7cWIdGT7IGU1KdUTX1-D1zk1zWQODOsUXQe5kdoCBF9DiO4rK11nQRn3D-FjGlJame2Pvy5JPqE70TU0CCLUnACqk-aZ~pR7-Yb~6D0cskhLPPdLgkdvMhO4ZUX9e~Sk7SKLPRrapd7zCNRdDw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Justin Walsh and Zach Ward, founders of Omni Brewing, told the City of Victoria council they plan to rebrand the former Anki Brewing taproom as Omni, expand operating hours to include morning coffee service and shift a substantial amount of beer production to the Victoria location.

The founders said they will seek an on-sale intoxicating liquor license at the next council meeting and expect to take over operations in mid-May, subject to state approvals. \"we are gonna have a on sale intoxicating, liquor license coming in the next council meeting,\" Walsh said. Ward added, \"we will officially take over operations in mid May, if if state, approvals go as they should and, hoping to do more of a grand opening with with kind of the expanded hours, in July.\"

The proposal described a change from a taproom-focused operation to a brewpub model with expanded food and beverage options. Ward said Omni plans to add a coffee nook and expand the kitchen, offering coffee, breakfast sandwiches, pizza and other menu items in addition to draft beer. Walsh estimated staffing growth: \"We'll probably be adding about 5 full time jobs, and then probably a few additional part time jobs to what's currently in place.\" The founders also said production currently roasted and brewed in Maple Grove would shift in large part to the Victoria facility.

Council members welcomed the incoming owners and asked about the brand and hours. A council member asked whether the business would retain Yankee/Anki beers; the founders said they would continue some flagship beers while rebranding the space as Omni. The founders said the operation will not be a nightclub-style venue but will expand programming, events and private rentals.

No license or zoning action was taken at the meeting; the founders said they will have a representative at the next council meeting when the on-sale liquor license application is formally considered by the council.","Founders Justin Walsh and Zach Ward told the City of Victoria council they will rebrand the former Anki taproom as Omni, expand hours to include morning coffee service, move more production to Victoria and add roughly five full-time jobs; an on-sale liquor license will be sought at the next council meeting.","actionData","errors"]
