Pelham Market CITY CLERK REC01�'.NDATION
The above-entitled matter came on for hearing before
Administrative Law Judge Carol Grant on June 24, 1988, at 9:00
a.m. , Seventh Floor, Ramsey Countp Courthouse, St. Paul,
Minnesota. The hearing in this matter concluded on June 24,
1988.
Philip Byrne, Assistant City Attorney, Attorney for the
City of St. Paul-License Inspector, 647 City Hall, St. Paul, MN
55102, appeared on behalf of the City of St. Paul. No
appearance was made by Roger Maunders, or any representative of
Pelham Market.
This Report is submitted to the St. Paul City Council
pursuant to Section 310.05 ( c-1) of the St. Paul Legislative
Code.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The issue to be determined in this proceeding is whether
sanctions should be imposed upon the licenseholder on the qround
that a clerk in the Pelham Market sold 3. 2 beer to a person
` under the aqe of twentp-one years in violation of Minn. Stat.
340A. 503 Subd. 2 and St. Paul Legis. Code 410. 04(a) .
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. On March 31, 1988, at 5:45 p.m. , St. Paul Police
Reserve Officer Jody Hummel entered the Pelham Grocery Store and
purchased a sfx-pack of Schmidt beer. Ms. Hummel' s birth date
is June 1, 1968. She was nineteen pears old at the time of the
purchase.
2. The salesperson in the grocerp store did not ask Ms.
Hummel any questions about her age before allowing her to
purchase the beer. There was one other person in the store at
the time.
3. On April 22, 1988, the licensee was sent a letter
advising him that the City proposed to take adverse action based
upon the March 31, 1988 incident. This letter was received by
the licensee.
4. On May 23, 1988, a Notice of Hearing was mailed to the
licensee at the same address as the April 22, 1988 notification.
5. On June 23, 1988, Assistant City Attorney Philip Bprne
called the lfcensee to advise him about a roo� change for the
hearinq.
6. The licensee did not appear at the hearing on June 24,
1988. After waiting for him to appear, the Assistant City
Attorney called him. The licensee stated that he was busy the
week of the hearinq, had two weddings to work on, had discussed
with his clerk procedures for checkinq on identification, and
would not be attending the hearing.
Based upon the foreqoing Findings of Fact, the
Administrative Law Judge makes the followinq:
CONCLUSIONS
1. The Administrative Law Judge and the St. Paul City
Council have jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Minn.
Stat. 340A.503, Subd. 2 and St. Paul Legis. Code 410.04(a) . The
Notice of Hearing was proper in this matter and all procedural
requirements of law or rule have been fulfilled by the Citp.
2. St. Paul Legis. Code Sec. 410.04(a) provides: "No
intozicating malt liquor shall be sold or furnished for anp
purpose whatever to any person under twentp-one years of
aqe. . . " .
3. The licensee' s clerk sold non-intoxicatinq malt liquor
to a person under twenty-one years of age.
4. The licensee, through its agent, has violated St. Paul
Legis. Code Sec. 410.04(a) .
Based upon the foregoing Conclusions, the Administrative
Law Judge makes the following:
RECOMMENDATION
IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDID that the City Council take
disciplinary action against the licensee as follows:
1. That the Council impose five consecutive days'
suspension of the Pelham Market license for the sale of
non-intoxicating malt liquor.
2, As and for failure to give advance notice of non-
appearance at the hearinq, and to reimburse the City
for expenses caused thereby, the licensee shall pap a
f ine of $250. 00.
Dated this 7th day of July, 1988.
