The basis for the adverse action is: The certiticate of occupancy for the building was revoked on May 1,1997. Saint Paul Legislative Code §310.06, subd. (6)(3) permits adverse action against a license where "the premises which are licensed or which are to be licensed do not comply with applicable health, housing, fire, zoning and building codes and regulations." If you do not dispute the above facts please send me a letter with a statement to that effect. The matter will then be scheduled for a hearing before the St. Paul City Council to determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You will have an opportunity to appear and speak on your own behalf, or to have someone appeaz there for you. On the other hand, if you wish to dispute the above facts, I will schedule an evidentiary hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALn. If you wish to have such a hearing, please send me a letter stating that you are contesting the facts. You will then be sent a"Notice of Hearing," so you will know when and where to appeaz, and what the basis for the hearing will be. In either case, please let me know in writing ao later than Friday, June 5,1998, how you would like to proceed. If I have not heard from you by that date, I will assume that you are not contesting the facts. The matter will then be scheduled for the hearing before the S� Paul City Council.
