Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 24, 2016 Page 20 er further stated that they carded all customers deemed to be under the age of 50, and scanned that proof of identification into their system. With the size of their company creating millions of transactions, Mr. Zipser advised that they had not had any violations over the last several years prior to this; and even though this was human error, they had immediately trained their entire team on store policies. Mr. Zipser reiterated that they took this seriously, with a sign on the front of the store clearly stating, “Identification Required.” Councilmember McGehee questioned the viability of carding everyone walking in the door, and how that could be done if minors were not allowed to enter the store, or how they were identified as minors. Mr. Zipser reviewed their process for carding minor when in the sore with a guardian or parent, but clarified it was not when entering the store. Mr. Bernard clarified if an obvious minor was observed entering the store, they were asked to leave based on confirming that with their identification card. Since this was a first violation, Councilmember Willmus stated there was some city flexibility. However, Councilmember Willmus asked that the firm take due diligence not to have a second violation, a point at which the City Council would become very concerned. Ms. Zipser stated his understanding, and that the firm would make every effort accordingly. Willmus moved, Etten seconded, authorizing the Roseville Police Department to issue and administer the presumptive penalty as set forth in Roseville City Code, Section 302.15, for off-sale license holders for the first violation within thirty-six (36) months; with the mandatory minimum penalty of $1,000 and a zero-day sus- pension. Given the size of the company and assurances heard when this establishment opened three years ago, Councilmember McGehee stated she was more than dis- appointed with their lack of server training. However, Councilmember McGehee expressed her hope that Councilmember Willmus’ warning would serve as suffi- cient for them. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Etten, McGehee and Roe. Nays: None. c.Presumptive Penalty Approval – Smashburger Restaurant Compliance Fail- ure Lt.
