License ID No. 36087 & 70163
Our File Number: G96-0259
Dear Mr. Gary Miron:
The Director of the Office of License, Inspections and
Environmental Protection will recommend that adverse action be
taken against all the licenses identified above for the Rainbow
Foods located at 1566 University Avenue West. This recommendation
is based on the following:
On May 30, 1996, an employee sold cigarettes to a minor
under the age of 18 years in the licensed premises. This
is an offense under Mina. Stat. §609.685 and Saint Paul
Legislative Code �324.07.
If you do not dispute the above facts, and send me a letter to that
effect within 5 days, the case will be set before the City Council.
You will have a chance to appear and make a statement before the
Council as to the proper penalty, if any, to be imposed.
If you do dispute the above facts, a hearing will be set before an
Administrative Law Judge. At that hearing both you and the City
will be able to appear and present witnesses, evidence and cross-
examine the other's witnesses. The Council will ultimately decided
the case. If this is your choice, please advise my legal assistant,
Peter Pangborn, within 5 days, and we will take the necessary steps
to set up that ALJ hearing. He can be reached at 266-8776.
