D. Subsequent Violations. Violations occurring after the notice of hearing has been mailed, but prior to the hearing, must be treated as a separate violation and dealt with as a second appearance before the Council, unless the City Administrator and licensee agree in writing to add the violation to the first appearance. The same procedure applies to a second, third, or fourth appearance before the Council. E. Subsequent Appearances. Upon a second, third, or fourth appearance before the council by the same licensee, the Council must impose the presumptive penalty for the violation or violations giving rise to the subsequent appearance without regard to the particular violation or violations that were the subject of the first or prior appearance. However, the Council may consider the amount of time elapsed between appearances as a basis for deviating from the presumptive penalty imposed by this Section. F. Computation of Violations. Multiple violations are computed by checking the time period of the three years immediately prior to the date of the most current violation. G. Other Penalties. Nothing in this Section shall restrict or limit the authority of the council to suspend up to sixty (60) days, revoke the license, impose a civil fine not to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000.00), to impose conditions, or take any other action in accordance with law; provided, that the license holder has been afforded an opportunity for a hearing in the manner provided in this Chapter. H. Notification. If a licensed establishment is cited for a violation of this ordinance, the Chief of Police must provide a letter of notification to the licensee and the City Council through the City Administrator within 5 business days after the violation occurred. The Best Practices Progam Each licensee's participation can be customized to help fit their business. While there are mandatory criteria, businesses chose elective criteria as long as they meet the minimum required points for participation. The agreement is then signed by the licensee and key managers or operators of the establishment and the Police Chief, City Administrator, and Mayor. By establishing this program, the goal of the City of Centerville is: No Alcohol Sales to Minors. The City also wishes to enter into proactive practices in alignment with the Community Policing Philosophy to prevent and solve enforcement issues. There are (4) four required criteria for participation in the Best Practice program for establishments. 1. They must first agree to the annual inspection I background investigation to ensure criteria are being met. 2. They must commit to a minimum of 75% of their employees trained by the Police Department. The training program options are covered in a later section. The 75% figure allows for the issue of employee turnover, but key personnel must be trained. 3. The establishment must have a program in place for on-going training of new and current employees.
