The basis for the recommendation is as follows: On July 12, 2001, a tobacco compliance check was conducted at the premises of G& H 2 located at 381 Minnesota Street in Saint Paul. A sixteen year old female entered the store aud asked to purchase cigarettes. Although the clerk asked for identification and the identification correctly stated the date of birth and showed her to be underage, the clerk nonetheless sold the sixteen year old a package of Newports. Sale of tobacco to an underage person is a violation of Minn. Stat. §609.85 and Saint Paul Legislative Code §324.07. Since this is a first violation, the licensing office will recommend a$200.00 fine. At this time you have three options on how to proceed: Page 2 G&H2 August 15, 2001 01-10� If you do not dispute the above facts and do not �vish to have a public hearing, you will need to pay the recommended fine for this violation. If this is your choice, you should make payment directly to the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection, Room 300 Lowry Professional Building, 350 Saint Peter Street, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102. The letter should be directed to Ms. Christine Rozek. Payment of the fine will be considered to be a waiver of the hearing to which you are entitled. 2. Alternatively, if you do not dispute the above facts, but wish to have a public hearing before the Saint Paul City Council, you will need to send me a letter with a statement admittin� the violation and requesting a public hearing. We will need to receive your letter by Monday, Au�ust 27, 2001. The matter will then be scheduled before the City Council for a public hearing to determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You wiil have an opportunity to appear before the Council and make a statement on your own behalf. 3. If you do dispute the above facts, a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge. At that hearing both you and the City will be able to appear and present �vitnesses, evidence and cross-examine the other's witnesses. The St. Paul City Council will ultimately decide the case. If this is your choice, please advise my legal assistant, Peter Pangborn, and we will take the necessary steps to schedule the administrative hearing. He can be reached at 266-8710. If we have not heard from you by Monday, August 27, 2001, rve will assume that you do not contest the facts and will schedule this matter for the St. Paul City Council and have it placed on the Consent Agenda during which no public discussion is allowed and the recommended penalty will be imposed. Please be advised that the clerk who was identified as having made the sale on this date is also being charged an administrative penalty pursuant to Minn. Stat. §461.12, subd. 3. This is a separate action from this license matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (651) 266-8710. Sincerely, �� Virginia D.
