RESOLUTION CALLING FOR SPECIAL REFERENDUM
November 8, 1977
WHEREAS, the State Liquor Control Act limits the number of on -sale
liquor licenses in the City of St. Louis Park, exclusive of special club
licenses, to 19, but authorizes the voters of the City of St. Louis Park
to increase the statutory limit; and

restrictive on quality development and the council deems it advisable
to give the voters an opportunity to vote upon the question of raising
the present statutory limit; therefore,

sition shall be posed:
