McEilisvem Robert L. RiChZrt Of Counsel rt� TY!eoUOre J.Goldns By way of introduction, I have been retained by Dan Dalilin to represent him and his business, known as DVM, Inc., and doing business as Dahlco, with regazd to concems raised by the proposed ordinance menrioned above. DVM operates 140 to 150 remote storage kiosks, dispensing cigarettes, throughout Minnesota. Each of these kiosks is placed in a licensed liquor establishment, and each has a locking device on it which requires a person buying cigazettes to go to a staff person, typically a bartender, to seek authorizarion to use the machine. The staff person can then require identification if the buyex's age is in question. I understand that at its ne� meeting on June 3, 1998, the City Council will be considering amendments to Chapter 324 of the St. Puai Legis]ative Code, concerning restriction of tobacco vending r.iachines to areas where people under the age of 18 aze prohibited. According to the Green Sheet No. 5Q404, dated Apri120, 1998, the problem that the ordinance is intended to solve has to do with minors having access to cigarettes through unmonitored tobacco vending machines. The definirion of "tobacco vending machine" appeazs at section 324.03 of the proposed ordinance. I have advised Mr. Dahlin that the locking machines owned by DVM aze not included under this definition, and so the proposed ordinance does not apply. For legislative clariry, however, I believe the language of the ordinance should be modified to cleazly exclude the locking machines. For your review and information, I am enclosing the Olmsted Counry Tobacco Sales and Youth Access Ordinance, adopted by the Olmsted County Boazd on February 3, 1998.

DVM, Inc., is a responsible, licensed, tae-paying corporation. On its own, DVM impleznented the locking machines in order to avoid sales to minors. No complaints have been made against DVM, Inc., for selling tobacco to minors. DVM agrees with the e�cpressed aun of the ordinance, which is to eliminate the sale of cigazettes to minors.

RiChZrt Of Counsel rt� TY!eoUOre J.Goldns By way of introduction, I have been retained by Dan Dalilin to represent him and his business, known as DVM, Inc., and doing business as Dahlco, with regazd to concems raised by the proposed ordinance menrioned above. DVM operates 140 to 150 remote storage kiosks, dispensing cigarettes, throughout Minnesota. Each of these kiosks is placed in a licensed liquor establishment, and each has a locking device on it which requires a person buying cigazettes to go to a staff person, typically a bartender, to seek authorizarion to use the machine. The staff person can then require identification if the buyex's age is in question. I understand that at its ne� meeting on June 3, 1998, the City Council will be considering amendments to Chapter 324 of the St. Puai Legis]ative Code, concerning restriction of tobacco vending r.iachines to areas where people under the age of 18 aze prohibited. According to the Green Sheet No. 5Q404, dated Apri120, 1998, the problem that the ordinance is intended to solve has to do with minors having access to cigarettes through unmonitored tobacco vending machines. The definirion of "tobacco vending machine" appeazs at section 324.03 of the proposed ordinance. I have advised Mr. Dahlin that the locking machines owned by DVM aze not included under this definition, and so the proposed ordinance does not apply. For legislative clariry, however, I believe the language of the ordinance should be modified to cleazly exclude the locking machines. For your review and information, I am enclosing the Olmsted Counry Tobacco Sales and Youth Access Ordinance, adopted by the Olmsted County Boazd on February 3, 1998.

RiChZrt Of Counsel rt� TY!eoUOre J.Goldns By way of introduction, I have been retained by Dan Dalilin to represent him and his business, known as DVM, Inc., and doing business as Dahlco, with regazd to concems raised by the proposed ordinance menrioned above. DVM operates 140 to 150 remote storage kiosks, dispensing cigarettes, throughout Minnesota. Each of these kiosks is placed in a licensed liquor establishment, and each has a locking device on it which requires a person buying cigazettes to go to a staff person, typically a bartender, to seek authorizarion to use the machine. The staff person can then require identification if the buyex's age is in question. I understand that at its ne� meeting on June 3, 1998, the City Council will be considering amendments to Chapter 324 of the St. Puai Legis]ative Code, concerning restriction of tobacco vending r.iachines to areas where people under the age of 18 aze prohibited. According to the Green Sheet No. 5Q404, dated Apri120, 1998, the problem that the ordinance is intended to solve has to do with minors having access to cigarettes through unmonitored tobacco vending machines. The definirion of "tobacco vending machine" appeazs at section 324.03 of the proposed ordinance. I have advised Mr. Dahlin that the locking machines owned by DVM aze not included under this definition, and so the proposed ordinance does not apply. For legislative clariry, however, I believe the language of the ordinance should be modified to cleazly exclude the locking machines. For your review and information, I am enclosing the Olmsted Counry Tobacco Sales and Youth Access Ordinance, adopted by the Olmsted County Boazd on February 3, 1998.
