RE: All licenses held by East Side Hospitality, Inc., d/b/a Hillcrest Entertainment Center for
the premises located at 1560 White Bear Avenue in Saint Paul
License ID #: 82839
Dear Mr. Senkler:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental ProYection has recommended that
adverse action be taken against the licenses held by East Side Hospitality, Inc., d/b/a Hillcrest
Entertainment Center for the premises located at 1560 White Bear Avenue in Saint Paul. The
basis for the adverse action is as follows:
On July 6, 2001 you were notified by a letter from the Office of
LIEP that they had been informed that your liquor liabitity
insurance had expired as of June 27, 2001 and that you needed
to provide proof of replacement coverage with no lapse in
coverage dates. Replacement insurance was not obtained until
July 6, 2001, leaving a lapse in insurattce coverage for nine
days.
If you do not dispute the above facts please send me a letter with a statement to that
effect. The matter will then be scheduled for a hearing before the St. Paul City Council to
determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You will have an opportunity to appear and speak on
your own behalf, or to have someone appeaz there for you. The recommendation of the licensin�
office is for a 10-day suspension of your license pursuant to the penalty matrix contained in St. V
Paul Legistative Code §409.26.

On the other hand, if you wish to dispute the above facts, I will schedule an evidentiary
hearin� before an Administrative Law Jud�e (ALJ). If you wish to have such a hearing, please
send me a letter statin� that you are contestin� the facts. You will then be sent a"Notice of
Hearin�," so you will know when and where to appear, and what the basis for the hearing will be.
In either case, please let me know in writing no later than Thursday, August 2, 2001,
how you would like to proceed. If I have not heard from you by that date, I will assume
that you are not contesting the facts. The matter will then be scheduled for the St. Paul
City Council where it will be put on the Consent Agenda during which no discussion is
allowed and the recommended penalty will be imposed.
If you have any questions, feel free to call me or have your attomey call me at 266-8710.
Sincerely,

RE: All licenses held by East Side Hospitality, Inc., d/b/a Hillcrest Entertainment Center for
the premises located at 1560 White Bear Avenue in Saint Paul
License ID #: 82839
Dear Mr. Senkler:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental ProYection has recommended that
adverse action be taken against the licenses held by East Side Hospitality, Inc., d/b/a Hillcrest
Entertainment Center for the premises located at 1560 White Bear Avenue in Saint Paul. The
basis for the adverse action is as follows:
On July 6, 2001 you were notified by a letter from the Office of
LIEP that they had been informed that your liquor liabitity
insurance had expired as of June 27, 2001 and that you needed
to provide proof of replacement coverage with no lapse in
coverage dates. Replacement insurance was not obtained until
July 6, 2001, leaving a lapse in insurattce coverage for nine
days.
If you do not dispute the above facts please send me a letter with a statement to that
effect. The matter will then be scheduled for a hearing before the St. Paul City Council to
determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You will have an opportunity to appear and speak on
your own behalf, or to have someone appeaz there for you. The recommendation of the licensin�
office is for a 10-day suspension of your license pursuant to the penalty matrix contained in St. V
Paul Legistative Code §409.26.

On the other hand, if you wish to dispute the above facts, I will schedule an evidentiary
hearin� before an Administrative Law Jud�e (ALJ). If you wish to have such a hearing, please
send me a letter statin� that you are contestin� the facts. You will then be sent a"Notice of
Hearin�," so you will know when and where to appear, and what the basis for the hearing will be.
In either case, please let me know in writing no later than Thursday, August 2, 2001,
how you would like to proceed. If I have not heard from you by that date, I will assume
that you are not contesting the facts. The matter will then be scheduled for the St. Paul
City Council where it will be put on the Consent Agenda during which no discussion is
allowed and the recommended penalty will be imposed.
If you have any questions, feel free to call me or have your attomey call me at 266-8710.
Sincerely,

the premises located at 1560 White Bear Avenue in Saint Paul
License ID #: 82839
Dear Mr. Senkler:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental ProYection has recommended that
adverse action be taken against the licenses held by East Side Hospitality, Inc., d/b/a Hillcrest
Entertainment Center for the premises located at 1560 White Bear Avenue in Saint Paul. The
basis for the adverse action is as follows:
On July 6, 2001 you were notified by a letter from the Office of
LIEP that they had been informed that your liquor liabitity
insurance had expired as of June 27, 2001 and that you needed
to provide proof of replacement coverage with no lapse in
coverage dates. Replacement insurance was not obtained until
July 6, 2001, leaving a lapse in insurattce coverage for nine
days.
If you do not dispute the above facts please send me a letter with a statement to that
effect. The matter will then be scheduled for a hearing before the St. Paul City Council to
determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You will have an opportunity to appear and speak on
your own behalf, or to have someone appeaz there for you. The recommendation of the licensin�
office is for a 10-day suspension of your license pursuant to the penalty matrix contained in St. V
Paul Legistative Code §409.26.

send me a letter statin� that you are contestin� the facts. You will then be sent a"Notice of
Hearin�," so you will know when and where to appear, and what the basis for the hearing will be.
In either case, please let me know in writing no later than Thursday, August 2, 2001,
how you would like to proceed. If I have not heard from you by that date, I will assume
that you are not contesting the facts. The matter will then be scheduled for the St. Paul
City Council where it will be put on the Consent Agenda during which no discussion is
allowed and the recommended penalty will be imposed.
If you have any questions, feel free to call me or have your attomey call me at 266-8710.
