Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 28,2019 Page 5 Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Etten, Groff and Roe. Nays: None. c. Consider Presumptive Penalty Approval for Fantasy Flight Alcohol Compli- ance Failure Deputy Chief Erika Scheider summarized the request as detailed in the RCA of this date; and noted a bench handout incorporated into the RCA providing an ex- tract of City Council meeting minutes of January 28, 2019. Mr. Brenden Bell, game center supervisor, and Emily Leapsch, general manager, were at the meeting. Mr. Bell indicated the company did not comply and since then, the management team has changed and are in the process of recertifying all of their servers, wheth- er those servers are due or not and Ms. Leapsch is introducing a new training plan which will include coaching and standards in practice that will ensure the compa- ny is compliant going forward. He stated the liquor license is a privilege for them and it is their due diligence to ensure there is compliance at all times with all of the laws and regulations. Mayor Roe asked how long Fantasy Flight has been in business in Roseville. Mr. Bell stated he has personally worked for Fantasy Flight for two years, but the business has been in Roseville for eight years. He noted the liquor license has been more recent. Councilmember Groff sympathized with them because he was a bartender and understood it is not always easy when shifting shifts, etc. He thought their chang- es are to be commended and very wise on Fantasy Flight's part. He suggested Fantasy Flight have someone talk during training of their personal experience with being cited, which might be one thing to help the bartenders pay attention a little more. Mr. Bell thanked Councilmember Groff for the advice. He stated it is the respon- sibility of staff to go through the training, but it is his and Ms. Leapsch's respon- sibility to make sure the procedures and ongoing coaching and standards and practices are followed at all times. Mayor Roe thanked Mr. Bell and Ms. Leapsch for taking the next steps after a vi- olation to identify ways to improve operations at the organization so it does not happen again.
