T[ie City's <br />Regulations are contained in Chapter 350 of #he City Code. <br />Tt�e City has ado}�ted an escalating �e andlar suspension at�d r�voca#ion sc�edule {City <br />Code Sectio� 35n.11} which provicies far an adcninistrative fine of $140 for t�e first <br />violatian within a twefve month period and an administra#ive fine o£ $S00 for a secand <br />viala#ion in the same twelve month period_ <br />I 4�ve r�viewed Ra�nsey �ou�ty Sheriff repor�s re�a�ir�g to the saie vi �obacco produc#s to <br />tn�nors ciccurr;ng a# Arden Hil�s Tobacco, 3fi13 Lexin�on Avenue, Arden Hilis, <br />Minnesota. In iny opin€on th� City could prove that two viola#ians }�ave occurred within <br />a twe�ve month period. Privr to imposing an adcni�istrarive fine the Ciiy needs ta <br />cond�at a hearing (City Code Sectian 350.12). The licensee shouid reeeive a reasonabie <br />notice of the hear�ng date and time, and be provided the oppoz�nity to address the City <br />Council at the hearing. I wauld recomm�nd that the licensee be given a seven day notice <br />af the t�earing- <br />The City Co�ncil can only suspend the license if there are three vialations within a <br />iwelve manth period and reva�Ce the license if there are four vialations within a twelve <br />month periad. <br />If you have any questions, p[ease contaet me. <br />JPFlmlh <br />Very tr�y yours, <br />J r e .
