The basis for the recommendation is as follows: On June 21, 2001, a tobacco compliance check was conducted at Lowertown Bar and Grill located at 175 5` Street East in Saint Paul. A sixteen year old female entered the bar and asked to buy cigarettes. She was asked to and did show identification, which correctly stated her date of birth. The clerk nevertheless sold her a package of Camel cigarettes. 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: If you do not dispute the above facts and do not wish 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 directiy to the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection, Room 300 Lowry Professional Buildin�, 350 Saint Peter Street, Saint Paui, Page 2 Lowertown Bar and Grill � 4.f July 12, 2001 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. Altematively, if you do not dispute the above facts, but wish to have a public hearin� before the Saint Paul City Council, you will need to send me a letter with a statement admittin� the violation and requesting a public hearin�. We will need to receive your letter by Monday, July 23, 2001. The matter will then be scheduled before the City Council for a public hearing to determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You will have an opportunity to appear before the Council and make a statement on your own behalf. If you do dispute the above facts, a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Jud�e. At that hearing both you and the City will be able to appear and present witnesses, evidence and cross-examine the other's witnesses. The St. Paul City Council will ultimately decide the case. If this is your choice, piease advise my legal assistant, Peter Pangbom, and we will take the necessary steps to schedule the adminisYrative hearing. He can be reached at 266-8710. If we have not heard from you by Monday, July 23, 2001, we will assume that you do not contest the facts and }vill schedule this matter for the St. Paul City Councii and have it placed on fhe 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.

The basis for the recommendation is as follows: On June 21, 2001, a tobacco compliance check was conducted at Lowertown Bar and Grill located at 175 5` Street East in Saint Paul. A sixteen year old female entered the bar and asked to buy cigarettes. She was asked to and did show identification, which correctly stated her date of birth. The clerk nevertheless sold her a package of Camel cigarettes. 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: If you do not dispute the above facts and do not wish 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 directiy to the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection, Room 300 Lowry Professional Buildin�, 350 Saint Peter Street, Saint Paui, Page 2 Lowertown Bar and Grill � 4.f July 12, 2001 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.
