License ID #20040004064 DearSir/Madam: The Office of License Inspections and Environmental Protecfion has recommended adverse acfion against the Cigarette/Tobacco License held by Maryland St. Pau1 CVS, LLC, d/b/a CVS Phaimacy #7060 for the premises located at 810 Maryland Avenue East in Saint Paul. The basis for the recommendation is as follows: On Apri16, 2006, a tobacco compliance check was conducted at the CVS Pharmacy #7060 for the premises located at 810 Maryland Avenue East in Saiut Paul. A siateen year old male entered the store and asked to buy cigarettes. He was asked to show his identification, and did so. It correctly stated his date of birth, which indicated he was underage. Nevertheless, the clerk allowed him to purchase the package of Marlboro 27's cigarettes. Sale of tobacco to an underage person is a violation of Minn. Stat. §609.85 and Saint Paul Legislative Code §324.07. Since this counts as a first violation for the sale of cigarettes to an underage person, the licensing office has recommended a $200.00 fine. At this time you have three options on how to proceed: AA-ADA-EEO Employer CVS Phannacy #7060 7une 13, 2006 Page 2 �. (_, ��i'�v�.�i You cau pay tke recominended $200.00 &ne.
