NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Owner/Manager
St. Maries II, Inc.
400 Robert Street North
Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101
RE: Cigarette/'I'obacco License held by St. Maries II, Inc. d/b/a St. Maries II, Inc. for the
premises at 400 Robert Street North in Saint Paul
License ID #: 19980001306
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection has recommended
adverse action against the Cigazette/Tobacco License held by St. Maries II, Inc. d/b/a St. Maries
II, Inc. for the premises at 400 Robert Street North in Saint Paul. The basis for the
recommendation is as follows:
On May 31, 2002, a tobacco compliance check was conducted
at St. Maries II, Inc. located at 400 Robert Street North 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 correctly 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 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:
AA-ADA-EEO Employer
d� _ �s�
1. 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, 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 hearina 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 July 15, 2002. The matter will then be scheduled before the City Council for a
public hearing to deternune 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 hearin; will be scheduled before an Administrative
Law Judge. At that hearing both you and the City will be able to appeaz 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 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 July 15, 2002, we wiil assume that you do not
contest the facts and will schedule this matter for the St. Paul City Council and have it
piaced 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 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.
Sincerely,
i
