wish to contest the facts contained in the Notice of Violation letter. If I have not heard from you

Saint Paul, Minnesota 55117
RE: License Application by Sean A. McMurray, dIb/a A-11Able Towing for the premises
located at 14 Acker St. East in St. Paul
LicenseID #: 990004054 -
Dear Mr. McMurray:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection has recommended that
the license application listed above be denied. The basis for the recommendation is as follows:
On August 16 and August 31, 1999 you were sent letters from
the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental
Protection stating that your license application was incomplete.
You were advised that you stili needed to provide a Tow Truck
License A�davit, Tow Truck Vehicle Inspection SheeEs, a
letter stating the location and security of the lot to which
vehicles would be towed, a$10,000 surety bond with attached
power-of-attorney, a certificate of insurance, a copy of the
minimum non-contract fees, a list of drivers, with home
addresses, a copy of the property lease or purchase agreement,
and a site plan. As of today's date, these items have still not
been received.
If you do not want to dispute the matter, you must send me a letter admitting the facts stated
above and ask that the matter be set in front of the City Council to determine what penalty, if
any, wiil be imposed. You wi11 have an opportunity to appear and speak on your own behalf, or
to have someone appear there for you. Alternatively, you may submit all of the required
documentation to permit the processing of your license application.
Page 2
Mr. Sean A. McMurray
October 12, 1999
q`� -1 a. �`�
On the other hand, if you wish to dispute the above facts, you may request an administrative
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. If you wish to have a hearing, you must let me
know that in writing. I will then schedule the hearing and send you a notice with the time, date
and place of the heazing, the name of the administrative law judge who will preside, and a brief
description of the procedures to be followed.
Please let me know in writing no later than Friday, October 22, 1999 how you would like to
proceed. If I have not heard from you by that date, I will assume that you are not
contesting the facts indicated above. The matter will then be scheduled before the City
Council on the Consent Agenda during which no public discussion is allowed and the
recommended denial of your license application will be imposed.
Please be on notice that your business location does not currently have a license to have an Auto
Repair Gazage or Tow Truck operation at this location, and you aze not permitted to operate
without such a license. You must, therefore, immediately cease all operations at this location. If
you continue to operate evidence of that fact may be used in addition to other evidence to deny
your license.
If you have any questions, feel free to call me or have your attorney call me at 266-8710.
Sincerely,
� �C�,�

wish to contest the facts contained in the Notice of Violation letter. If I have not heard from you

Saint Paul, Minnesota 55117
RE: License Application by Sean A. McMurray, dIb/a A-11Able Towing for the premises
located at 14 Acker St. East in St. Paul
LicenseID #: 990004054 -
Dear Mr. McMurray:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection has recommended that
the license application listed above be denied. The basis for the recommendation is as follows:
On August 16 and August 31, 1999 you were sent letters from
the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental
Protection stating that your license application was incomplete.
You were advised that you stili needed to provide a Tow Truck
License A�davit, Tow Truck Vehicle Inspection SheeEs, a
letter stating the location and security of the lot to which
vehicles would be towed, a$10,000 surety bond with attached
power-of-attorney, a certificate of insurance, a copy of the
minimum non-contract fees, a list of drivers, with home
addresses, a copy of the property lease or purchase agreement,
and a site plan. As of today's date, these items have still not
been received.
If you do not want to dispute the matter, you must send me a letter admitting the facts stated
above and ask that the matter be set in front of the City Council to determine what penalty, if
any, wiil be imposed. You wi11 have an opportunity to appear and speak on your own behalf, or
to have someone appear there for you. Alternatively, you may submit all of the required
documentation to permit the processing of your license application.
Page 2
Mr. Sean A. McMurray
October 12, 1999
q`� -1 a. �`�
On the other hand, if you wish to dispute the above facts, you may request an administrative
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. If you wish to have a hearing, you must let me
know that in writing. I will then schedule the hearing and send you a notice with the time, date
and place of the heazing, the name of the administrative law judge who will preside, and a brief
description of the procedures to be followed.
Please let me know in writing no later than Friday, October 22, 1999 how you would like to
proceed. If I have not heard from you by that date, I will assume that you are not
contesting the facts indicated above. The matter will then be scheduled before the City
Council on the Consent Agenda during which no public discussion is allowed and the
recommended denial of your license application will be imposed.
Please be on notice that your business location does not currently have a license to have an Auto
Repair Gazage or Tow Truck operation at this location, and you aze not permitted to operate
without such a license. You must, therefore, immediately cease all operations at this location. If
you continue to operate evidence of that fact may be used in addition to other evidence to deny
your license.
If you have any questions, feel free to call me or have your attorney call me at 266-8710.
Sincerely,
� �C�,�

wish to contest the facts contained in the Notice of Violation letter. If I have not heard from you

Saint Paul, Minnesota 55117
RE: License Application by Sean A. McMurray, dIb/a A-11Able Towing for the premises
located at 14 Acker St. East in St. Paul
LicenseID #: 990004054 -
Dear Mr. McMurray:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection has recommended that
the license application listed above be denied. The basis for the recommendation is as follows:
On August 16 and August 31, 1999 you were sent letters from
the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental
Protection stating that your license application was incomplete.
You were advised that you stili needed to provide a Tow Truck
License A�davit, Tow Truck Vehicle Inspection SheeEs, a
letter stating the location and security of the lot to which
vehicles would be towed, a$10,000 surety bond with attached
power-of-attorney, a certificate of insurance, a copy of the
minimum non-contract fees, a list of drivers, with home
addresses, a copy of the property lease or purchase agreement,
and a site plan. As of today's date, these items have still not
been received.
If you do not want to dispute the matter, you must send me a letter admitting the facts stated
above and ask that the matter be set in front of the City Council to determine what penalty, if
any, wiil be imposed. You wi11 have an opportunity to appear and speak on your own behalf, or
to have someone appear there for you. Alternatively, you may submit all of the required
documentation to permit the processing of your license application.
Page 2
Mr. Sean A. McMurray
October 12, 1999
q`� -1 a. �`�
On the other hand, if you wish to dispute the above facts, you may request an administrative
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. If you wish to have a hearing, you must let me
know that in writing. I will then schedule the hearing and send you a notice with the time, date
and place of the heazing, the name of the administrative law judge who will preside, and a brief
description of the procedures to be followed.
Please let me know in writing no later than Friday, October 22, 1999 how you would like to
proceed. If I have not heard from you by that date, I will assume that you are not
contesting the facts indicated above. The matter will then be scheduled before the City
Council on the Consent Agenda during which no public discussion is allowed and the
recommended denial of your license application will be imposed.
Please be on notice that your business location does not currently have a license to have an Auto
Repair Gazage or Tow Truck operation at this location, and you aze not permitted to operate
without such a license. You must, therefore, immediately cease all operations at this location. If
you continue to operate evidence of that fact may be used in addition to other evidence to deny
your license.
If you have any questions, feel free to call me or have your attorney call me at 266-8710.
Sincerely,
� �C�,�
