O�l-to� Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8854 820 Concordia Ave. St Paul, Minnesota These aze the proposed conditions that we have discussed. License No. 0057268 Liquor on Sa1e. Applied for by: Twin Star VFW I would like to preface this response with a few words from various patrons and members in the bar. One of the most difficult tasks in this whole process is to remain pro active. My part in this situation is to manage the Post Canteen. This entails the mechanics of the operation but more importantly the spiritual atmosphere as well. We have eliminated the bad elements from our Canteen and as you aze awaze the trouble azound our establishment has seen a decline as well It would be an appropriate gesture on both our behalf if we just start a new chapter in our relationship with you and see what matters as afore menfioned will be practical for the progress of the Post as our neighborhood undergoes the same process. l. I have visits other private clubs in our neighborhood and we will follow the example that has been set forth in other establishments in our ouerve and aliow the constitutional right as to the style of signature remain the choice of the individual member or guest the signature of the our patrons. 2. I would hope that it is a given that our service staff at the Canteen wili not and has not served alcohol to minors. I do have the discretion to determine age within reason. Scenario, A gentleman enters the bar as a senior citizen family acquaintance of a member who does not have ID I will not refuse them service. 3. It is my ascertain that we aze catering to the lowest common denominator by presenting this issue in this manner under these conditions. 4. The vestibule will be removed by the first of July. S.Due to the cost, we will be installing the video cameras one at a time. We can discuss which areas would be covered first, second etc work wili commence July I S with additional cameras being added at one per month. 6.An interior camera will be installed by Sept 1. v�-to3t� 7. Two addztional lights have been purchased for the side and rear of the building. 8. Quest has been called for the removal of phones. Due to the fact that they aze payphones there aze issues conceming (in house) removal. 9. Due to the changing clientele and begin to operate under longer hours, we aze going to postpone the purchase of a wand. 10. The hiring and firing will be done by the house committee who aiready have a screening process in place. This is not being done by other establishments. It is our feeling that this stipularion results in micro management. Again we feel as though we are being scolded for past behavior that was not consistent with our new management policies. �y-�o�o SA[NT PAUL � AAAA CITY OF SAINT PAUL Randy C.

The logs appear to be virtually unreadable and contain no real information on the guests, include signatures that are first names on1y, nicknames or illegibly written. On December 17, 2003, the VFW was before the City Council on a previous violation of selling alcohol to a non-member or guest, and was ordered to "immediately begin keeping membership and guest logs in a readable format". If you do not dispute the above facts, but wish to have a hearing before the Saint Paul City Council to discuss the appropriate penalty, you will need to send me a letter with a statement admitting the violations and requesting a hearing by Wednesday, March 24, 2004.
