Saint Paul, M1V 55119
RE: Cigarette/Tobacco License held by Fuhr Enterprises, Inc., d/b/a Sunray Amoco, for the
premises located at 344 Ruth Street North in Saint Paul
License ID #: 0026221
Dear Sir/Niadam:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection (LIEP) has
recommended adverse action against the license referenced above. The basis for the
recommendation is as follows:
On Apri124, 2003 a tobacco compiiance check was performed
on the premises of Sunray Amoco, located at 344 Ruth Street
North in Saint Paul. A fifteen-year old male entered the store
and was able to purchase a package of Marlboro cigarettes
even though he showed identification which correctly stated his
date of birth and showed him to be underage. 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 S200.00 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 directly to the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental
Protection, Room 300 Lowry Professional Building, 350 Saint Peter Street, Saint Paul,
AA-ADA-EEO Employer
�3
Pa�e 2
Sunray Amoco
April 29, 2003
Minnesota 55102. The letter should be directed to Ms. Christine Rozek. Payment of the
fine wilI be considered to be a waiver ofthe hearing fo which you are entitIed. 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 Friday, May 9, 2003. The matter will then be scheduled before the City Council
for a public hearing to determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You �vill have an
opportunity to appear before the Council and make a statement on your o�vn behalf.
If you do dispute the above facts, a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative
Law 7udge. 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 le�al 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 Friday, May 9, 2003, 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 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. 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,
