<br />Friday, October 28, 2005 <br /> <br />Susan Mahon, Manager <br />Roseville Post No. 7555 <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br /> <br />Re: Liquor License <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Mahon, <br /> <br />This is my response to your appeal from the Police Chiefs A'..lgust 24th <br />notice informing you of your failure to pass an alcohol compliance check. <br />My response is based upon the entire record in this case, including the <br />hearing on Tuesday, September 27th, with you and the VFW Commander. <br />Based on that record, I make the following findings of facts. <br /> <br />On August 12,2005, your employee, Erin Elizabeth McDonnaugh, was <br />cited by the Roseville Police Department for serving alcohol to an under- <br />aged individual. The VFW does not contest the fact that thi~) violation <br />took place. Your server did indeed provide alcohol to a minor. <br /> <br />Accordingly, the Police Chief sent you a notice fining you $51)0 and <br />suspending your liquor license for one-day. This is the penalty <br />prescribed under the Roseville City Code. (Your establishment did not <br />qualify for a lesser sanction under the City Code because yo u do not <br />participate in the City's Optional Manager and Server Training Program. <br />Participants in that Program are subject to lesser sanctions for liquor <br />violations in return for licensees carrying out a robust and aggressive <br />_._ _.'... .liquor training progr?, ~ fo~ each erp.ployee::~~.,~: serves alcoh{)l.) <br /> <br />.. . ~ . ~. . . . . <br /> <br />At the hearing you presented certain informatibn in mitigation of the' <br />violation. Specifically, you explain that your server knew thl~ Roseville <br />officer performing the compliance check and she assumed the officer <br />would not tolerate an under-age youth requesting alcohol. Therefore, <br />your server assumed the individual was not under-age and ~;he provided <br />liquor without checking the individual's identification. <br /> <br />For the following reasons, I have decided to accept the mitigation <br />testimony: <br /> <br />· The demeanor of y~urself and the C2I1?-mander sugges ts tome th.at <br />you take your liquor serving duties very seriously; <br /> <br />· You acknowledge that serving alcohol to minors is a serious <br />offense; and <br />
