RE: Cigazette license held by Joseph L. Brost d/b/a Grand Wheeler Sinclair II for the premises
located at 1345 Cnand Ave. in St Paul
License ID No.: 79666
Deaz Mr. Brost:
Your business recently failed a cigarette compliance check. As a result, the D'uector of the
Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection will recommend that adverse action
be taken against your cigarette license held at the above-named address. This recommendation is
based on the following:
On January 21, 1998, you or another employee sold cigarettes to a minor
under the age of 18 years in the licensed premises. This is an offense under
Minn. Stat § 609.685 and Saint Paul Legislafive Code §324.01.
Since this is your second violation, the licensing office will recommend the presumptive fine
which is $400.00 as outlined in Saint Paul Legislative Code § 324.11(b).
At this time you have three options on how to proceed:
1. Pay the fine.
Saint Paul Legislative Code §324.11(c) allows a licensee who does not dispute the
facts to pay a fine without having to appeaz before the City Council. If you elect
this opiion, you should send a letter with a statement to that effect and make
��\
payment duectly to: (�$ .'� �,Q

Please make vou check navable to fhe CITY OF SA T PAUT and submit it
no later than Tuesdav. Februarv 24 199&
2. Appear in front of City Council.
If you do not dispute the facts, but ��ish to have an opportunity to appeaz before
the City Councii, you need to send me letter with a statement to that effect. We
will then schedule the matter before ihe City Council. You will be given the
opportunity to appear and make a statement on your own behalf.
Contest the facts.
If you do dispute the above facts, a hearing wiil be scheduled before an
Administrative Law 7udge (AL.n. At that hearing both you and the City will be
able to appeaz and present wimesses, evidence and cross-examine the other's
�vitnesses. The Saint Paul City Council will ultimately decide the case. If this is
your choice, please confact Peter Pangbom, my legal assistant, and we will take

Mr. 7oseph Brost
Grand Wheeler Sinclair II

RE: Cigazette license held by Joseph L. Brost d/b/a Grand Wheeler Sinclair II for the premises
located at 1345 Cnand Ave. in St Paul
License ID No.: 79666
Deaz Mr. Brost:
Your business recently failed a cigarette compliance check. As a result, the D'uector of the
Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection will recommend that adverse action
be taken against your cigarette license held at the above-named address. This recommendation is
based on the following:
On January 21, 1998, you or another employee sold cigarettes to a minor
under the age of 18 years in the licensed premises. This is an offense under
Minn. Stat § 609.685 and Saint Paul Legislafive Code §324.01.
Since this is your second violation, the licensing office will recommend the presumptive fine
which is $400.00 as outlined in Saint Paul Legislative Code § 324.11(b).
At this time you have three options on how to proceed:
1. Pay the fine.
Saint Paul Legislative Code §324.11(c) allows a licensee who does not dispute the
facts to pay a fine without having to appeaz before the City Council. If you elect
this opiion, you should send a letter with a statement to that effect and make
��\
payment duectly to: (�$ .'� �,Q
Attn. Chrisrine Rozek

350 Saint Peter Street
Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102
Please make vou check navable to fhe CITY OF SA T PAUT and submit it
no later than Tuesdav. Februarv 24 199&
2. Appear in front of City Council.
If you do not dispute the facts, but ��ish to have an opportunity to appeaz before
the City Councii, you need to send me letter with a statement to that effect. We
will then schedule the matter before ihe City Council. You will be given the
opportunity to appear and make a statement on your own behalf.
Contest the facts.
If you do dispute the above facts, a hearing wiil be scheduled before an
Administrative Law 7udge (AL.n. At that hearing both you and the City will be
able to appeaz and present wimesses, evidence and cross-examine the other's
�vitnesses. The Saint Paul City Council will ultimately decide the case. If this is
your choice, please confact Peter Pangbom, my legal assistant, and we will take
the necessary steps to schedu]e the ALJ hearing. He can be reached at 266-8710.
If we have not heard from yon by Wednesday, February 25,1998, we will assume that you
do not contest the facts and will schedule this matter before the City Council for hearing.
If you have any questions, you may contact me at 266-8710.
Sincerely,
1����
