� Council President IJames Scheibel
and Honorable embers of the City Council
� Seventh Floor �ity�Hall
Saint Paul, Minnesjota 55102
Dear President Sch�eibel and Members of the City Council:
l�fter careful -con ideration and extensive discussion with the
City Attorney's O�fice art,d the Finance and Management Services
Department, I hav decided to veto Council File 88-1071
pertaining to the�investigation and review of new applications
for Class III lic�nses.
t find the langua e of this ordinance amendment to be vague and
overly broad. It�grants overly broad discretion to the Police
Department, Licen e Division and City Attorney's office over
certain license m�tters. It raises the possibility of
� unwarranted interference with individual rights as well as
unwarranted invas�.ons of personal privacy.
I am also concern�d that this ordinance reflects a growing trend
of the City Council toward overregulation of legitimate behavior
and extensive int�usions into the personal lives of private
citizens. We should not deal with the issue of civil liberties
in an incrementallfashion. If the Council is inclined to
consider these matters it must do so with a conscious knowledge
and understandinglof the reguirements of our Constitutional form
of government.
�he proposed ordilance amendment introduces an increase of
criminal investig�tive power in an area of civil law. Although
in some instances this may be necessary, I believe that we
should cross that'' boundary only upon a showing of clear evidence
that there is a w�ong to be righted or an evil to be ended. I
see no evidence i this case establishing a correlation between
this ordinance am�ndment and any actual problems we have
encountered with �License holders in our City.

W� have a serious �esponsibility to effectively enforce the laws
pertaining to lice�hsing within the City and, in so doing, we
have an obligationito rigorously protect the welfare and safety
of City residents, ibut we have an equally serious responsibility
to protect the rigY�ts of citizens seeking to do legitimate
business within th� City.

Dear President Scheii�el :
The City Council at its meeting on Tuesday, October 4, 1988 ,
considered Ordinance No. C.F. 88-1071 which amends Section 310.03
of the Code adding a provision pertaining to obtaining criminal
histories of applicants for Class III licenses. The City Council
indicated that it d�sired the City Attorney draft an alternative
provision adding to �the amendment a proviso requiring the license
division to prepar� administrative guidelines to be used in
administering this ordinance.
I have prepared the amending language for your consideration.
The amendment is found in the last sentence in clause (b) found
on Page 2 which is �enclosed. I am sending a copy of the draft
to all members of the Council so they will have an opportunity
to review it prior to the next Council hearing on October 11 .
If you have any questions or desire any further changes to the
draft, please notif� me.
You s very truly,

Dear Council Member Sdnnen:
This is in response to your request that the City Attorney
draft an ordinance requiring a criminal history check through
the B.C .A. and the F.B. I . for all Class III license applications
and renewals . I have prepared a draft ordinance which would
amend section 310. 03 �y adding a new subsection.
Enclosed is a copy of a letter which I received from Sgt. Joseph
Corcoran which points out the additional costs to the City
for each criminal history search. You may wish to consider
the factors involved in this additional cost, as well as dis-
cussing with the Police Department�-- whet�er they would experience
�ny"�"d:i � bt'ainin this information in a timely manner.
The License Division should be consulted or advice wfie�F`ier
the license fees �or�lass III licenses would have to be increased
so as to provide the required funds for these criminal history
searches .
I believe the Administration is presently examining licensing
procedures , and you may wish to refer this ordinance draft
for comments . '
The draft ordinance would require that all owners and managers
of Class III licensed businesses provide fingerprints as well
as a written consent for the release of the criminal history
information. Finger�rints are required for the F.B. I . exami-
nations , and the writt n consent is a B.C .R. requirement.
State Law (M. S . § 364. ) restricts the use of criminal records
for City licensing purposes to convictions only, and not arrests
which do not lead to a conviction. Chapter 364 further restricts
the use of convictions for licensing purposes to crimes which
directly relate to the, proposed licensed business .
