Dear Sir/Madam:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection will recommend that adverse

follows:
According to Office of License, Inspections and Environmentai Protecfion
records, you submitted liquor liability insurance with a lapse in coverage
from December 20, 2006 to January 6, 2007. On February 22, 2007, the lapse
in insurance coverage was confirmed by your insurance agent, Melissa
Manoquin. This is a violafion of Saint Paul Legislative Code §409.26 (b}(12).
The licensing office will recommend a 10-day closure of your establishment for failure to
comply with statutory and ordinance requirements for liability insurance.
At this time, you haue three options on how to proceed:
i. If you wish to ha�e a public hearing before the Saint Paul City Council, you will need to
send me a letter with a statement admitting the facts and requesting a public hearing. We
will need to receive your letter by Monday, April 9, 2007. The matter will then be
scheduled before the City Council for a public hearing to deteriroine whether to impose
the 10-day closure. You will haue an opporiiwity to appeaz before the Council and make
a statement on your own behalf.
