Councilmember McGehee thanked staff for their ongoing work and significant reductions beyond what had already been accomplished in the past. In response to Councilmember Laliberte's comments about screening reducing catastrophic illness and sLibsequent claims, Councilmeinber McGehee noted the inability of screening to identify some of those health issues. Mayor Roe duly noted that observation; however, he opined it was also reasona- ble to take responsibility for screening that may catch health issues earlier which could help to reduce treatment costs. Roll �all Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. Nays: None. c. Consider Presumptive Penalty Approval — Wing Stop Alcohol Compliance Failure Lt. Lorne Rosand briefly summarized the process used and background of this first round of alcohol compliance checks, similar to that used for tobacco compli- ance checks; and as detailed in the RCA and attachments dated September 154, 2015. Lt. Rosand then addressed the specifics of this particular compliance check failure at Wing Stop Restaurant at 2100 Snelling Avenue N. The owner of the restaurant, Howard Bryant, was present. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Bryant advised that the restau- rant had been open 1 year and 4 months. At the request of Councilmember Willmus, Mr, Bryant reported what steps had been taken since this compliance failure and to ensure no recurrences. Mr. Bryant advised that the clerk checking the identification was the restaurant's inanager and he could not speak to how she didn't catch it, causing him bewilderment and embarrassment; and noting she had since been relieved of management duties. Mr. Bryant advised that he had also retrained every person filling alcohol orders, including management, with new procedures in place requiring two people to checic identifications before serving alcohol.
