Licensing body recommends Class A liquor license for Busy Bee Floral to sell wine with bouquets
Summary
The licensing panel voted to recommend that the common council approve a Class A liquor license for Busy Bee Floral, allowing wine (and beer) sales with floral arrangements; staff said Police Chief Kelly raised no objections and the fee will be prorated through the licensing year ending June 30.
The licensed community recommended that the common council approve a Class A liquor license for Busy Bee Floral, a local florist seeking to sell alcoholic beverages alongside flower arrangements for occasions including Valentine’s Day. Staff said Police Chief Kelly reviewed the application and "had no issues with this at all."
A staff member explained the Class A designation allows sale of beer and wine and that, if approved, the license would be valid through the current licensing year ending June 30; the $500 application fee would be prorated for the remainder of the year (staff described the remainder as "seven months or whatever it is"). Committee member questions focused on whether packaged alcohol would be sold directly to the public; staff confirmed retail sales of beer and wine are permitted under a Class A license.
A committee member moved to approve the recommendation to the common council; the Chair seconded. A roll-call vote recorded Aye from Alders Knoll, Koenig, Miller and Shaffer, and the motion passed. The recommendation will now be forwarded to the common council for final consideration.
