INITIATING PqOBLEM, ISSVE, OPPpRTUNITY (Who, What, Whan, Where, Why):
Current Ciry Legislafive Code sflpulates that for first-time violations for on-sale and off-sale licensed premises the adverse acfion taken
against the licensee shall be a suspension of ihe license. The penalry of license suspension is presumed to be appropriate for every case,
yet it allows for the Council to impose a lengthier suspension or a monetary fine in lieu of the suspensioa The imposiflon of a fine in lieu
of a suspension for first-time violations currently requires CouncIl action together with written reason for deviating from the recommended
suspension penalty.
ADVANTAGES IFAPPROVED:
A licensee who is enflUed to tnake an appeazance before the Council for a first-time violafion may elect instead to pay a fine to LIEP, in
accordance with the schedule, without an appeazance before the Council, unless circumstances in an individual case requires deviation
from the presumptive £ine established in the schedule.
DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVED:
None � �� ��
NOV 2 � 1997
DISADVANTAGES IF NOTAPPROVED:
The Ciry Council will need to continue with the policy of license suspensions as the presumpuve penalty for all fust-tnne violations. In
addiflon, the CouncIl must continue to provide written explanation as to why a fine was unposed in lieu of suspension on the fust violafion.

i What are Compliance Checks?
• Enforcement of existing (aws.
Compliance checks identify alcohol establishments that sell alcohol to underage
youth. If a person under age 21 successfully buys aicohol, an enforcement agent
issues a citaflon to the license holder. Compliance checks are the most effective
means for enforcing the age-of-sale laws.
I I Why are Compliance Checks Important?
• Youth can buy alcohol with no age identification.
Teens as young as 14 and 15 report in alcohol from alcohol establishments.
Fourteen percent of 18-20-year olds in mid-sized rural communides reported
buying alcohol fot their last drinldng occasion.
Severai studies show that individuals who look younger than age 21 can buy
alcohol without showing age identificarion in 50% or more of their attempted
purchases.
• Communities maintain control.
Some communities may want to conduct more than two checks every two years.
Communities should retain the abiliry to conduct as many checks as they see fit to
stop sales to minors.
• Relatively inexpensive method ta enforce the {aw.
Compliance checks are not necessarily cosdy. One esrimate is that compliance
checks that are used to enforce administrative laws cost approximately $10 per
establishment.
To limit the time required by police, community groups can help by planning the
checks and recruiting youth.
Compiiance checks are only a burden for those businesses
that are breaking the law.

q'1-\y`�.S
Shutting Off the Tap to Teens:
Reducing Youth Access to Alcohol
Yommg people who drink alcohol are dying, getting pregnant, contracting sexually
transmitted diseases, being attacked, and failing schooL Telling kids to "just say no"
does not work. We try to educate kids in school about the dangers of alcohol use and
expect that they will not use alcohoL But kids who participate in these education
programs aze equally likely to drink and experience problems as those young people who
do not receive this education. Why?
Youth live in a society that encourages them to dr'v�k alcohoL
• Teens can easily get alcohol from adults.
• Teens aze allowed to drink in places and situations throughout their
community.
• Advertisements entice teens to drink by promising coolness, sexual
conquests, and relaxation.
• Many adults think alcohol use is a right of passage.
We educate kids in school and then send them back into the same environment that has
always encouraged them to drink alcohoL
One step towazds creating communities that do not encourage young people to drink is to:
Reduce the Flow of Alcohol to Youth...
Teens say they can easily get alcohol from
Commercial Establishments
Bars
Restaurants
Liquor stores
Grocery stores
Convenience stores
Delivered alcohol
Social Providers
Friends over age 21
Friends under age 21
Parents
Siblings
Co-workers
Strangers outside stores
Where teens get alcohol vazies by community and age group. The most popular sources
of akohol for all age groups are social providers over age 21. The older youth aze, the
more likely they aze to buy alcohol themselves from commercial establishments. Among
18-20-yeaz-olds, 20% reported buying alcohol themselves the ]ast time they drank
alcohol. Young people can easily purchase alcohol throughout Minnesota without
showing any age identif'ication.
Many underage people obtain alcohol at drinking parties where one or two youth obtain
luge quantities of alcohol, often in kegs. In the past year, 54% of high school seniors
and 36% of young adults drank alcohol from beer kegs.
Underage Providers
Once youth obtain alcohol, they often then provide alcohol to other young people.
• Neazly one out of two surveyed high school students in Minnesota and
Wisconsin reported getting alcohol from someone under age 21 in the last 30
days.
• More than one out of four 18-20-yeaz-olds reported buying for or giving alcohol
to another 18-20-yeaz old. Another 15% had given alcohol to someone under age
18.
The risk of one adult selling or giving alcohol to one underage person is gready increased
as that youth gives some of that alcohol to friends or acquaintances. One keg illegally
sold to an underage person provides a large amount of alcohol to many teens.
How do we reduce the t]ow of alcohol to young people?
(1) Make adults accountable for their behavior.
(2) Change and enforce community po6cies.
Why do adults sell and give alcohol to underage people?
• Few communities ask where young people are getting the alcohoL
• Few communities enforce the ]aw and hold adults responsible for illegally
selling or giving alcohol to underage people.
• Many adults do not realize that in Minnesota, it is a gross misdemeanor
(punishable by jail or fine) to sell or give alcohol to someone under age 21 who is
not your own child.
What aze some examples of community policies that can reduce commercial and
social access?
Commercial
Alcohol sales compliance checks
Administrative penalties
Restricting home deliveries
Server/manager training
Social
Keg registration
Social host liability
Community event restrictions

Youth &
Alcohol Facts
Alcohol is 1he drug most frequenHy used by 12- to 77-year-olds-and ihe one thal causes 1he mosF
negative heaHh consequences (Center for Substance Abuse Pre•renfion,1993).
Risky Se�val Behaviar
A 1990 survey of Massachusetts 16- to 19-
year-olds found that 49 percent were more
likely to have sex if they and iheir partner had
been drinking. In addition,l7 perceni used
condoms less often after drinking �Strunin,
19921.
Three-fiflhs of collegewomen diagnosed with
a sexually transmitted disease were
intoxicated at the time of infection IUniversiiy
of California, Berkley,1990).
Alcohol Poisoning
There are 200 So 400 alcohol-poisoning
deaths annualiy in ihe United States. Neariy
all victims are children and adolescents
Uohnson,19421.
Suicide
Based on rising youth suicide rates, three
researchers conduded a study on 10- to 19-
year-old suicide victims in Allegheny County
(PA�. They found "a striking association
...beiween ihe ingestion of aicohol and the
use offirearms as a method ofsuicide.' They
conclude that `the epidemic increase in the
suicide rate among youth may be nssociated
with an increase in the prevafence of alcohoi
abuse (Brent,198�.
Rape and Sexual Assault
In a survey of students at a southwestern
university, 55 percent of sexual assault
perpetrators and 53 percent of sexual assault
vidims admitted to being under ihe influence
of alcohoi at the time of the assault
UVluehlenhard,1987►.
The U.C. Berkefey Police Department said that
every reported acquaintance rape on campus
in a two-year period involved the use of alcohol
by one or both people (Universrty of Cafifomia,
Berkley,19901.
�
Alcohol Availability
Almost7 millian young people who drinkSabout
two-thirds} buy their own aftoholic beverages.
Students as young as ages 12 or 13 report
buying alcoholic beverages in a store (Office of
the Inspedor Genera1,1991).
Water-Related Injuries and
Drowning
Two studies that have attempted to link youth
alcohol use and drowning found that from 40
to 50 percent of young males who drown �sed
alcohol prior to drowning (Orlowski, 198�,
NVintemute,1987l.

INITIATING PqOBLEM, ISSVE, OPPpRTUNITY (Who, What, Whan, Where, Why):
Current Ciry Legislafive Code sflpulates that for first-time violations for on-sale and off-sale licensed premises the adverse acfion taken
against the licensee shall be a suspension of ihe license. The penalry of license suspension is presumed to be appropriate for every case,
yet it allows for the Council to impose a lengthier suspension or a monetary fine in lieu of the suspensioa The imposiflon of a fine in lieu
of a suspension for first-time violations currently requires CouncIl action together with written reason for deviating from the recommended
suspension penalty.
ADVANTAGES IFAPPROVED:
A licensee who is enflUed to tnake an appeazance before the Council for a first-time violafion may elect instead to pay a fine to LIEP, in
accordance with the schedule, without an appeazance before the Council, unless circumstances in an individual case requires deviation
from the presumptive £ine established in the schedule.
DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVED:
None � �� ��
NOV 2 � 1997
DISADVANTAGES IF NOTAPPROVED:
The Ciry Council will need to continue with the policy of license suspensions as the presumpuve penalty for all fust-tnne violations. In
addiflon, the CouncIl must continue to provide written explanation as to why a fine was unposed in lieu of suspension on the fust violafion.

i What are Compliance Checks?
• Enforcement of existing (aws.
Compliance checks identify alcohol establishments that sell alcohol to underage
youth. If a person under age 21 successfully buys aicohol, an enforcement agent
issues a citaflon to the license holder. Compliance checks are the most effective
means for enforcing the age-of-sale laws.
I I Why are Compliance Checks Important?
• Youth can buy alcohol with no age identification.
Teens as young as 14 and 15 report in alcohol from alcohol establishments.
Fourteen percent of 18-20-year olds in mid-sized rural communides reported
buying alcohol fot their last drinldng occasion.
Severai studies show that individuals who look younger than age 21 can buy
alcohol without showing age identificarion in 50% or more of their attempted
purchases.
• Communities maintain control.
Some communities may want to conduct more than two checks every two years.
Communities should retain the abiliry to conduct as many checks as they see fit to
stop sales to minors.
• Relatively inexpensive method ta enforce the {aw.
Compliance checks are not necessarily cosdy. One esrimate is that compliance
checks that are used to enforce administrative laws cost approximately $10 per
establishment.
To limit the time required by police, community groups can help by planning the
checks and recruiting youth.
Compiiance checks are only a burden for those businesses
that are breaking the law.

Shutting Off the Tap to Teens:
Reducing Youth Access to Alcohol
Yommg people who drink alcohol are dying, getting pregnant, contracting sexually
transmitted diseases, being attacked, and failing schooL Telling kids to "just say no"
does not work. We try to educate kids in school about the dangers of alcohol use and
expect that they will not use alcohoL But kids who participate in these education
programs aze equally likely to drink and experience problems as those young people who
do not receive this education. Why?
Youth live in a society that encourages them to dr'v�k alcohoL
• Teens can easily get alcohol from adults.
• Teens aze allowed to drink in places and situations throughout their
community.
• Advertisements entice teens to drink by promising coolness, sexual
conquests, and relaxation.
• Many adults think alcohol use is a right of passage.
We educate kids in school and then send them back into the same environment that has
always encouraged them to drink alcohoL
One step towazds creating communities that do not encourage young people to drink is to:
Reduce the Flow of Alcohol to Youth...
Teens say they can easily get alcohol from

Where teens get alcohol vazies by community and age group. The most popular sources
of akohol for all age groups are social providers over age 21. The older youth aze, the
more likely they aze to buy alcohol themselves from commercial establishments. Among
18-20-yeaz-olds, 20% reported buying alcohol themselves the ]ast time they drank
alcohol. Young people can easily purchase alcohol throughout Minnesota without
showing any age identif'ication.
Many underage people obtain alcohol at drinking parties where one or two youth obtain
luge quantities of alcohol, often in kegs. In the past year, 54% of high school seniors
and 36% of young adults drank alcohol from beer kegs.
Underage Providers
Once youth obtain alcohol, they often then provide alcohol to other young people.
• Neazly one out of two surveyed high school students in Minnesota and
Wisconsin reported getting alcohol from someone under age 21 in the last 30
days.
• More than one out of four 18-20-yeaz-olds reported buying for or giving alcohol
to another 18-20-yeaz old. Another 15% had given alcohol to someone under age
18.
The risk of one adult selling or giving alcohol to one underage person is gready increased
as that youth gives some of that alcohol to friends or acquaintances. One keg illegally
sold to an underage person provides a large amount of alcohol to many teens.
How do we reduce the t]ow of alcohol to young people?
(1) Make adults accountable for their behavior.
(2) Change and enforce community po6cies.
Why do adults sell and give alcohol to underage people?
• Few communities ask where young people are getting the alcohoL
• Few communities enforce the ]aw and hold adults responsible for illegally
selling or giving alcohol to underage people.
• Many adults do not realize that in Minnesota, it is a gross misdemeanor
(punishable by jail or fine) to sell or give alcohol to someone under age 21 who is
not your own child.
What aze some examples of community policies that can reduce commercial and
social access?
Commercial
Alcohol sales compliance checks
Administrative penalties
Restricting home deliveries
Server/manager training
Social
Keg registration
Social host liability
Community event restrictions

Youth &
Alcohol Facts
Alcohol is 1he drug most frequenHy used by 12- to 77-year-olds-and ihe one thal causes 1he mosF
negative heaHh consequences (Center for Substance Abuse Pre•renfion,1993).
Risky Se�val Behaviar
A 1990 survey of Massachusetts 16- to 19-
year-olds found that 49 percent were more
likely to have sex if they and iheir partner had
been drinking. In addition,l7 perceni used
condoms less often after drinking �Strunin,
19921.
Three-fiflhs of collegewomen diagnosed with

Alcohol Poisoning
There are 200 So 400 alcohol-poisoning
deaths annualiy in ihe United States. Neariy
all victims are children and adolescents
Uohnson,19421.
Suicide
Based on rising youth suicide rates, three
researchers conduded a study on 10- to 19-
year-old suicide victims in Allegheny County
(PA�. They found "a striking association
...beiween ihe ingestion of aicohol and the
use offirearms as a method ofsuicide.' They
conclude that `the epidemic increase in the
suicide rate among youth may be nssociated
with an increase in the prevafence of alcohoi
abuse (Brent,198�.
Rape and Sexual Assault
In a survey of students at a southwestern
university, 55 percent of sexual assault
perpetrators and 53 percent of sexual assault
vidims admitted to being under ihe influence
of alcohoi at the time of the assault
UVluehlenhard,1987►.
The U.C. Berkefey Police Department said that
every reported acquaintance rape on campus
in a two-year period involved the use of alcohol
by one or both people (Universrty of Cafifomia,
Berkley,19901.
�

Students as young as ages 12 or 13 report

Drowning

(c) Multiple violations. At a licensee's first appearance before the city council, the council shall
consider and act upon all the violations that have been alleged andfor incorporated in the notices
sent to the licensee under the administrative procedures act up to and including the formal notice
of hearing. The council in that case shall consider the presumptive penalty for each such
violation under the " 1 st Appearance" column in paragraph (b) above. The occurrence of multiple
violations shall be grounds for deparkure from such penalties in the council's discretion.
Violations occurring after the date of the norice of hearing that are brought to the attention of the
city attorney prior to the hearing date before an administrative law judge (or before the council
in an uncontested facts hearing) may be added to the notice(s) by stipulation if the licensee
admits to the facts, and shall in that case be treated as though part of the " 1 st Appeazance." In all
other cases, violations occurring after the date of the formal notice of hearing sha11 be the subject
of a separate proceeding and dealt with as a"2nd Appearance" before the council.
The same procedures shall apply to a second, third or fourth appearance befare the council.
(d) Subsequent appearances. Upon a second, third or fourth appearance before the council by a
particulaz licensee, the council shall impose the presumptive penalty for the violation or
violations giving rise to the subsequent appeazance without regard to the particular violation
or violations that were the subject of the fust or priar appeazance.
(e) Computation of time:
(1) If a licensee appeazs before the council for any violation in pazagraph (b) where that
violation has occuned within eighteen (18) calendar months after the first appearance of the

INITIATING PqOBLEM, ISSVE, OPPpRTUNITY (Who, What, Whan, Where, Why):
Current Ciry Legislafive Code sflpulates that for first-time violations for on-sale and off-sale licensed premises the adverse acfion taken
against the licensee shall be a suspension of ihe license. The penalry of license suspension is presumed to be appropriate for every case,
yet it allows for the Council to impose a lengthier suspension or a monetary fine in lieu of the suspensioa The imposiflon of a fine in lieu
of a suspension for first-time violations currently requires CouncIl action together with written reason for deviating from the recommended
suspension penalty.
ADVANTAGES IFAPPROVED:
A licensee who is enflUed to tnake an appeazance before the Council for a first-time violafion may elect instead to pay a fine to LIEP, in
accordance with the schedule, without an appeazance before the Council, unless circumstances in an individual case requires deviation
from the presumptive £ine established in the schedule.
DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVED:
None � �� ��
NOV 2 � 1997
DISADVANTAGES IF NOTAPPROVED:
The Ciry Council will need to continue with the policy of license suspensions as the presumpuve penalty for all fust-tnne violations. In
addiflon, the CouncIl must continue to provide written explanation as to why a fine was unposed in lieu of suspension on the fust violafion.

i What are Compliance Checks?
• Enforcement of existing (aws.
Compliance checks identify alcohol establishments that sell alcohol to underage
youth. If a person under age 21 successfully buys aicohol, an enforcement agent
issues a citaflon to the license holder. Compliance checks are the most effective
means for enforcing the age-of-sale laws.
I I Why are Compliance Checks Important?
• Youth can buy alcohol with no age identification.
Teens as young as 14 and 15 report in alcohol from alcohol establishments.
Fourteen percent of 18-20-year olds in mid-sized rural communides reported
buying alcohol fot their last drinldng occasion.
Severai studies show that individuals who look younger than age 21 can buy
alcohol without showing age identificarion in 50% or more of their attempted
purchases.
• Communities maintain control.
Some communities may want to conduct more than two checks every two years.
Communities should retain the abiliry to conduct as many checks as they see fit to
stop sales to minors.
• Relatively inexpensive method ta enforce the {aw.
Compliance checks are not necessarily cosdy. One esrimate is that compliance
checks that are used to enforce administrative laws cost approximately $10 per
establishment.
To limit the time required by police, community groups can help by planning the
checks and recruiting youth.
Compiiance checks are only a burden for those businesses
that are breaking the law.

q'1-\y`�.S
Shutting Off the Tap to Teens:
Reducing Youth Access to Alcohol
Yommg people who drink alcohol are dying, getting pregnant, contracting sexually
transmitted diseases, being attacked, and failing schooL Telling kids to "just say no"
does not work. We try to educate kids in school about the dangers of alcohol use and
expect that they will not use alcohoL But kids who participate in these education
programs aze equally likely to drink and experience problems as those young people who
do not receive this education. Why?
Youth live in a society that encourages them to dr'v�k alcohoL
• Teens can easily get alcohol from adults.
• Teens aze allowed to drink in places and situations throughout their
community.
• Advertisements entice teens to drink by promising coolness, sexual
conquests, and relaxation.
• Many adults think alcohol use is a right of passage.
We educate kids in school and then send them back into the same environment that has
always encouraged them to drink alcohoL
One step towazds creating communities that do not encourage young people to drink is to:
Reduce the Flow of Alcohol to Youth...
Teens say they can easily get alcohol from
Commercial Establishments
Bars
Restaurants
Liquor stores
Grocery stores
Convenience stores
Delivered alcohol
Social Providers
Friends over age 21
Friends under age 21
Parents
Siblings
Co-workers
Strangers outside stores
Where teens get alcohol vazies by community and age group. The most popular sources
of akohol for all age groups are social providers over age 21. The older youth aze, the
more likely they aze to buy alcohol themselves from commercial establishments. Among
18-20-yeaz-olds, 20% reported buying alcohol themselves the ]ast time they drank
alcohol. Young people can easily purchase alcohol throughout Minnesota without
showing any age identif'ication.
Many underage people obtain alcohol at drinking parties where one or two youth obtain
luge quantities of alcohol, often in kegs. In the past year, 54% of high school seniors
and 36% of young adults drank alcohol from beer kegs.
Underage Providers
Once youth obtain alcohol, they often then provide alcohol to other young people.
• Neazly one out of two surveyed high school students in Minnesota and
Wisconsin reported getting alcohol from someone under age 21 in the last 30
days.
• More than one out of four 18-20-yeaz-olds reported buying for or giving alcohol
to another 18-20-yeaz old. Another 15% had given alcohol to someone under age
18.
The risk of one adult selling or giving alcohol to one underage person is gready increased
as that youth gives some of that alcohol to friends or acquaintances. One keg illegally
sold to an underage person provides a large amount of alcohol to many teens.
How do we reduce the t]ow of alcohol to young people?
(1) Make adults accountable for their behavior.
(2) Change and enforce community po6cies.
Why do adults sell and give alcohol to underage people?
• Few communities ask where young people are getting the alcohoL
• Few communities enforce the ]aw and hold adults responsible for illegally
selling or giving alcohol to underage people.
• Many adults do not realize that in Minnesota, it is a gross misdemeanor
(punishable by jail or fine) to sell or give alcohol to someone under age 21 who is
not your own child.
What aze some examples of community policies that can reduce commercial and
social access?
Commercial
Alcohol sales compliance checks
Administrative penalties
Restricting home deliveries
Server/manager training
Social
Keg registration
Social host liability
Community event restrictions

Youth &
Alcohol Facts
Alcohol is 1he drug most frequenHy used by 12- to 77-year-olds-and ihe one thal causes 1he mosF
negative heaHh consequences (Center for Substance Abuse Pre•renfion,1993).
Risky Se�val Behaviar
A 1990 survey of Massachusetts 16- to 19-
year-olds found that 49 percent were more
likely to have sex if they and iheir partner had
been drinking. In addition,l7 perceni used
condoms less often after drinking �Strunin,
19921.
Three-fiflhs of collegewomen diagnosed with
a sexually transmitted disease were
intoxicated at the time of infection IUniversiiy
of California, Berkley,1990).
Alcohol Poisoning
There are 200 So 400 alcohol-poisoning
deaths annualiy in ihe United States. Neariy
all victims are children and adolescents
Uohnson,19421.
Suicide
Based on rising youth suicide rates, three
researchers conduded a study on 10- to 19-
year-old suicide victims in Allegheny County
(PA�. They found "a striking association
...beiween ihe ingestion of aicohol and the
use offirearms as a method ofsuicide.' They
conclude that `the epidemic increase in the
suicide rate among youth may be nssociated
with an increase in the prevafence of alcohoi
abuse (Brent,198�.
Rape and Sexual Assault
In a survey of students at a southwestern
university, 55 percent of sexual assault
perpetrators and 53 percent of sexual assault
vidims admitted to being under ihe influence
of alcohoi at the time of the assault
UVluehlenhard,1987►.
The U.C. Berkefey Police Department said that
every reported acquaintance rape on campus
in a two-year period involved the use of alcohol
by one or both people (Universrty of Cafifomia,
Berkley,19901.
�
Alcohol Availability
Almost7 millian young people who drinkSabout
two-thirds} buy their own aftoholic beverages.
Students as young as ages 12 or 13 report
buying alcoholic beverages in a store (Office of
the Inspedor Genera1,1991).
Water-Related Injuries and
Drowning
Two studies that have attempted to link youth
alcohol use and drowning found that from 40
to 50 percent of young males who drown �sed
alcohol prior to drowning (Orlowski, 198�,
NVintemute,1987l.
