This program has been very successful in <br />combating underage access to alcohol and we are pleased your law enforcement <br />agency has elected to participate in it. <br /> <br />As a part of this funding, the city councilor county board issuing a liquor license to a <br />retailer is expected to impose a substantial civil penalty against a retailer who fails an <br />alcohol compliance check and report what action was taken to the law enforcement <br />agency receiving the grant funding. In the event the locality does not have an <br />ordinance in place to address a compliance check failure, MN Statute 340A.4l5 <br />provides for the local licensing authority to fine up to $2,000 or to revoke or suspend <br />the license of the retailer for each violation. <br /> <br />The Alcohol & Gambling Enforcement Division encourages the local licensing <br />authority to take necessary civil action against a licensee who fails a compliance <br />check. Weare pleased with your continued support ofthis youth access project and if <br />we can be of further assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact us. <br /> <br />/'--1 <br />,/ I <br />~espect:9illy , <br />/ 1 <br />l ;/l/J ' <br />~r!d;(;~~ <br /> <br /> <br />'I <br />Director J <br /> <br /> <br />FB:SS <br />cc: Centennial Lakes Police Department <br /> <br />EQUAL OPPORTUNI1l' EMPLOYER <br />
