RE: Cigarette/Tobacco License held by Charlie's Chocolate & Cravings d/b/a Charlie's
Chocolate & Cravings for the premises located at 30 East 7th Street in Saint Paul
License ID #:19980001105
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Office of License Inspections and Environmental Protection has recommended
adverse action against the cigarette/tobacco license held by Charlie's Chocolate & Cravings d/b/a
Charlie's Chocolate & Cravings for the premises located at 30 East 7th Street in Saint Paul. The
basis for the recommendation is as foliows:
On June 21, 2001, a tobacco compiiance check was conducted
at Charlie's Chocolate & Cravings located at 30 7` Street East
in Saint Paul. A sixteen year old female entered the store and
asked to buy cigarettes. She was asked to and did show
identification, which correctly stated her date of birth.
Nevertheless , the clerk sold her a package of Newport
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.

O 1 �Yby
If you do not dispute the above facts and do not wish to have a public hearin�, you will
need to pay the recommended fine for this violation. If this is your choice, you should
make payment direcfly 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 d'arected 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
admitting the violation and requesting a public hearing. 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 Judge. 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
wili ultimately decide the case. If this is your choice, please advise my legal assistant,

hearin�. He can be reached at 266-8710.
If we have not heard from you by Monday, July 23, 2001, we will assume that you

recommended penalty wili 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 feei free to contact me

RE: Cigarette/Tobacco License held by Charlie's Chocolate & Cravings d/b/a Charlie's
Chocolate & Cravings for the premises located at 30 East 7th Street in Saint Paul
License ID #:19980001105
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Office of License Inspections and Environmental Protection has recommended
adverse action against the cigarette/tobacco license held by Charlie's Chocolate & Cravings d/b/a
Charlie's Chocolate & Cravings for the premises located at 30 East 7th Street in Saint Paul. The
basis for the recommendation is as foliows:
On June 21, 2001, a tobacco compiiance check was conducted
at Charlie's Chocolate & Cravings located at 30 7` Street East
in Saint Paul. A sixteen year old female entered the store and
asked to buy cigarettes. She was asked to and did show
identification, which correctly stated her date of birth.
Nevertheless , the clerk sold her a package of Newport
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.

basis for the recommendation is as foliows:
On June 21, 2001, a tobacco compiiance check was conducted
at Charlie's Chocolate & Cravings located at 30 7` Street East
in Saint Paul. A sixteen year old female entered the store and
asked to buy cigarettes. She was asked to and did show
identification, which correctly stated her date of birth.
Nevertheless , the clerk sold her a package of Newport
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.

need to pay the recommended fine for this violation. If this is your choice, you should
make payment direcfly to the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental
Protection, Room 300 Lowry Professional Building, 350 Saint Peter Street, Saint Paul,

before the Saint Paul City Council, you will need to send me a letter with a statement
admitting the violation and requesting a public hearing. We will need to receive your

witnesses, evidence and cross-examine the other's witnesses. The St. Paul City Council
wili ultimately decide the case. If this is your choice, please advise my legal assistant,
