As Chairman of the License Committee, I believe in my opinion the
P�ayor's veto has put us all in an untenable position. At this time, '
I would move to override the veto based on the following:
(1) Nearly three weeks ago we asked the Corporation Counsel
for a state attorney general ' s opinion. As of now, we do not have
it. There have been numerous city opinions that have been conflicting
on Sunday liquor.
(2) Last Friday this City Council agreed to meet with neighbors
and applican�t to iron out traffic and �arking problems. The public
works committee is meeting tomorrow to discuss whether Huron Street
should be made one way to Larpenteur or possib7y putting., in a cul de
sac so traffic will not sprawl out into the residential neighborhood.
I believe reasonable people should be able to sit down and iron out
their problems. The License Committee has had very good cooperation
from the applicant.
(3) The Ntayor's veto has put in jeopardy about 100 Sunday liquor
licenses and between 500 and 1,000 jobs in tf�is city, and I don't
believe this is -fair and just.
(4) I have been le� to believe the applicant would be willing
to stay closed for 4 or 5 Sundays so the entire matter can be worked
on.
These are problems for the entire city that have to be settled. For
t�is reason, I have made the motion to override the P�ayor's veto.

Mr. Harry Marshall, City Clerk
Saint Paul, Minnesota
Dear Madam President and Members:
I am today returning to you with my veto of disapproval Council File
No. 261517 dealing with the Sunday liquor license for Knight Kap, Inc. ,
for the following reasons :
On the basis of an opinion, dated June 5 , 1973 , given me by the City
Attorney , I am not satisfied that Patrick' s Lounge has met all the
requirements of all pertinent statutes relating to the issu�nce of
the Sunday liquor license.
In addition to that, Knight Kap, Inc. , doing business as Patrick's
Lounge, has been less than cooperative with the residents of our city
in the immediate area of the Lounge. Great traffic stress has been
placed upon this community during six regular days of operation as a
liquor establishment, and until the problems with the citizenry are
resolved I can see no reason for the added burden of liquor on Sunday.
There is apparent evidence that Patrick' s Lounge has failed to comply
with a special use perrait pertaining to its parking lot in that the
parking lot has not been constructed and maintained as required by the
plans and specifications submitted to the Building Department and the
Saint Paul City Council.
I have requested the office of the City Attorney to seek clarification
of the Sunday liquor law by requesting an opinion of the Attorney
General of the State of Minnesota, said opinion relating to whether
"the principal part of the business is the serving of food. " It is
important that this matter be relayed to Knight Kap, , Inc. , but also
that this 4uestion have uniform application throughout the entire
State of Minnesota.
I do not agree with the requirements of the State law and feel that
citizens should be able to have a drink on Sunday whether they eat
or not; however, the State law is what governs our issuance of licenses
and until that law is changed, we will abide by the rule of law.
ely,

Dear Mr. Marshall:
Recently the problems of the Patrick Lounge have come to my attention.
I have been reviewing the complaints and the many reports and petitions.
The position of the City Attorney, in his letter to Commissioner Meredith,
and the questions he raised, have not in m� review of the matter, been
met by the Patrick Lounge.
My personal belief is that the Council acted ilZegaZly in overriding
the Mayor's veto of the Sunday permit. Because of this belief, I wouZd
like to request of the Council a reopening and review by them of the
whole question.
The many complaints the vice squad reports and the petitions can't alI
be wrong. If the Council is serious in its goal of making St. Paul a
better place to work and live, some positive response must be forth-
coming.
As a state legislator, it might be necessary to review the legislation
with an eye to tightening up so there would be no question of what
qualifies as a pZace to be open on Sunday.
I would appreciate hearing from you as to what action may be taken.
Sincerely yours,
G��2�v G/��ti�-�LC��'�/y�
