<br /> North Suburban I <br />Tobacco Compliance Project I <br />---- - -----~- ---~-------.-.__._-_.~ _.------------- --- <br />Falcon Ikight~. .\Iapkwood.

Shol"C\i.:\,,"' \\lIitc Bear 1.-<'1..kc .. <br />Adult over] 8 who lends MN driver's license or ID to minor lfa MN driver's license or ID is lent to a <br />minor who attempts to purchase, then the lender is subject to a 90-day suspension of driver's license. <br />Notice of a proposed local ordinance is required At least a 30-day notice to licensees is required prior to I <br />amending your current ordinance. <br /> ### I <br />The NSTCP, with current members White Bear Lake, Shoreview, New Brighton, Falcon Heights, <br />Roseville, Maplewood and North St. Paul, has continually reached its goal of reducing youth access to I <br />tobacco. This is our fourth year of operation and after our first rOlll1d of compliance checks for this year, <br />we reached an average compliance rate of89% -- the highest rate yet! <br />The NSTCP conducts two compliance checks a year of all licensed tobacco vendors. We coordinate the I <br />law enforcement agencies, cities and student compliance checkers. We also have a public relations and <br />media relations program, compile compliance check results, hold quarterly meetings with participating I <br />cities and organizations, recruit and train student compliance checkers, conduct two training workshops a <br />year for all licensed tobacco vendors and their employees, distribute project updates to all NSTCP <br />members and keep open and ongoing communication among all cities, law enforcement agencies, related I <br />organizations and communities. The tobacco program currently costs each city $350 with an additional fee <br />of approximately $11 per vendor. The 97/98 rates will be slightly higher for the per vendor costs, however <br />the base rate of $350 will remain the same. .. <br />The NSTCP is an established and successful program that offers many benefits for your city at a minimal <br />cost. As I mentioned earlier, the law goes in to effect on August l, 1997, which means your city will need I <br />to either decide to handle this all internally, or make a commitment to the NSTCP. We would be thrilled to <br />have your city participate in our program. We also have other resources which we can pass on to you. For <br />example, the League of Minnesota Cities is working with other interested groups to develop tobacco <br />materials. As soon as these materials are available we will pass them on to you. I <br />I know you will need time to discuss this with your city council, but I will be contacting you in the next few <br />weeks to talk about this further and to answer any of your questions. In the meantime, please feel free to I <br />call me at 770-3394 if you have any questions. <br />I look forward to talking with you.
