Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 11, 2012 Page 14 efforts to ensure everything was up-to-date; and their practice was to now card everyone. Mr. Woller reiterated apologies of the Club; but asked that given the Club's non-profit status and history of giving back to the community, asked that this be given consideration. Mr. Woller admitted that this was a mistake; however, he noted that any penalties and days closed would significantly and negatively im- pact the operation of the Club. Ms. Kinsel concurred with Mr. Woller, and asked that this be taken into consid- eration,with the Club trying to be a good member of the Roseville community. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Ms. Kinsel reviewed some of the partnerships with the community through the Parks and Recreation Department, including park improvements, annual high school senior scholarships, and sen- ior citizen activities in Roseville. Ms. Kinsel noted that the organization was not a large one,but they did have a positive impact on Roseville. Councilmember McGehee questioned how the server could have failed to notice the under-age driver's license. Mr. Woller advised that the service was during non-business hours at about 11:00 a.m., and normal hours of operation not beginning until 12:00 noon; with the bartender flooded with approximately forty (40) people leaving by bus for a casino at that time, and in a rush to get everyone out the door in time. Mr. Wol- ler noted that the bartender had been disciplined. Ms. Kinsel concurred, noting that this particular server had twenty(20) years of experience in bartending in the metropolitan area; and agreed that this was a big error on his part. Councilmember Willmus, while appreciating the Club's explanation, their sin- cere apology, and what they did in the community, stated that he felt very strongly personally about this and fully supported the proscribed penalty. Councilmember Willmus opined that this was a serious violation and the City needed to remain diligent. Willmus moved, McGehee seconded, authorizing the Roseville Police Depart- ment to issue and administer the presumptive penalty as set forth in Section 302.15 of Roseville City Code. $1,000 fine; 1 day suspension Mayor Roe echoed the comments of Councilmember_Willmus; and acknowl- edged that such errors held consequences for the server and the Club, even when they were recognized as mistakes.
