(Willmar MN-) The Willmar City Council meets tonight at 630 in the Kandiyohi County Commission Chambers at the Health and Human Services Building on North Highway 71. At their last meeting in June, the council discussed stepping-up enforcement of the rental housing codes in the city. City Administrator Leslie Valiant and Operations Director Kyle Box say tonight the council will consider contracting with Ace Rolloffs to provide dumpsters to assist in clean-up of junk from derelict rental properties…
Also tonight, the council will consider setting a hearing for July 18th to rezone the old Pizza Hut property near The Kandi Mall so a new Slim Chicken restaurant can be constructed.
And the council will consider amending the city’s liquor ordinance to allow on-sale wine and malt liquor licenses for certain hockey teams and concessions at the Willmar Civic Center Arena as well as certain baseball teams and concessions. They would also allow off-sale malt liquor licenses to sell growlers and for larger breweries to obtain such licenses; allow extended hours to sell liquor during FIFA World CUP or FIFA Women’s World Cup games; add resorts to the list of businesses eligible for on-sale licenses, and add small breweries and microdistilleries to the list of entities eligible for temporary licenses associated with a community event sponsored by the licensee. They would also allow allowing temporary licenses for community festivals in the city or for an annual county fair.
