Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 11, 2012 Page 17 should say something about how serious community establishments were in their compliance efforts. Councilmember McGehee expressed her appreciation of the server coming for- ward and apologizing. d. Administer Presumptive Penalty — Old Chicago Restaurant Alcohol Com- pliance Failure Lt. Rosand reviewed the specifics of the compliance failure of the Old Chicago Restaurant, their first violation within the last thirty-six (36) months; however, he noted that there was a secondary issue with the failure of the company to comply with City Code, Section 302.08 for Manager and Server Training re- quirements. Lt. Rosand referenced previous City Council action and additional penalty related to the Smash Burger Restaurant in late 2011. Lt. Rosand reviewed training records of the server failing the compliance check, noting that the last alcohol training had been in Kansas in 2009, and not updated annually, as required by Roseville. During the follow-up after failure and review of all employee training records, Lt. Rosand noted that fifteen (15) employees had expired training beyond annu- al requirements.

Mr. Darcy advised that Old Chicago had remained under the assumption that all employees in the front of the house needed to be trained and/or recertified every three (3) years, or within sixty(60) days of employment for new hires. Mr. Darcy advised, if this was not the case, it was an error on his part. Mr. Darcy advised that the compliance failure had been that of the server, who had failed to card the buyer; and that, since Old Chicago took this very se- riously and had a zero tolerance status, the employee was immediately terminat- ed. Mr. Darcy advised that Old Chicago's training was very strict, through a na- tional training association, and reiterated his not being aware that their training program did not meet the City's current requirements. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Lt. Rosand reviewed the process for notification of all licensees, and referenced supporting documentation in
