Dear Rajeev Mehta:
The Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI) has recommended suspension of the
Food Vending Machine & Operator licenses held by Rajeev Mehta d/b/a R& M Vending for the
City of Saint Paul. The basis for the recommendarion is as follows:
On Angust 8, 2008, you were sent a letter and RENEWAL INVOICE from the
Department of Safety and Inspections (DSn indicating that your Food Vending
Machine & Operator licenses due on July 3, 2008 were delinquent. Your total
bill is now $255.00 ($170.00 in licenses fees and $85.00 in late fees). You were
given until August 29, 2008, to pay the licenses and late fees. As of today's date,
that payment has not been received.
At this time, you have three options on how to proceed:
You can pay the licenses and late fees of $255.00. If this is your choice, please send it to
the Department of Safety and Inspections (DSn at 8 Fourth Street East, Suite 200, St.
Paul, Minnesota 55101-1002 no later than Friday, September 26, 2008. Payment should
be directed to the attention of Christine Rozek. Submission of the payment will be
considered to be a waiver of the hearing to which you aze entitled.

September 26, 2008. The matter wil] then be scheduled before the Ciry Council for a
pubiic hearing to deterniine whether to suspend your licenses. You will have an
opportunity to appear before the Council and make a statement on your own behalf.
3. If you no longer wish to do business in the City of Saint Paul, you will need to send a
written statement to that effect to the Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI), 8
