The basis for the recommendation is as follows: On May 31, 2002, a tobacco compliance check Fvas conducted at G& H Market located at 340 Wabasha Street Nort6 in Saint Paul. A seventeen year old female entered the store and asked to buy cigarettes. She was asked to show her identification, and did so. It correctiy stated her date of birth. The clerk nevertheless sold her a package of Camel Lights cigarettes. Sale of tobacco to an underage person is a violation of Minn. Stat. §609.685 and 5aint Paul Legislative Code §324.07. Since this is a first violation, the licensin� office will recommend a 5200.00 fine. AA-ADA-EEO Employer Page 2 G & H Market July 3, 2002 At this time you have three options on how to proceed: 11�-75a. 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 directly to the Office of License, Tnspections 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. A self- addressed envelope is enclosed if this is your choice. 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 admitting the violation and requesting a public hearing. We will need to receive your letter by Monday, July 15, 2002. 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. 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 witnesses, 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 Pangbom, 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, July 15, 2002, we 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 aliowed and the recommended penalty will be imposed. Please be advised that the clerk who was identified as havin� made the sale on this date is also being chazged 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.
