POLICY 4-C
TEMPORARY 3.2 BEER LICENSES
1. PURPOSE
1.01 The Hopkins City Council recognizes that the issuance of temporary 3.2 beer licenses may result
in events which disturb surrounding businesses and residents and also may provide an
opportunity for underage drinking. The City Council believes that by creating a set of rules and
regulations in regard to the issuance of these licenses, problems can be avoided and the
responsible consumption of 3.2 beer can be encouraged.

three days.
