Revocation of License: Any license issued pursuant to this chapter, licensed pursuant to Minnesota statutes, chapter 340A, shall be revoked if any of the acts of conduct described in this section occur on the licensed premises. (Ord. 808, 11-21-1977; amd. 1995 Code) 302.15: CIVIL PENALTY: A. Penalty For Noncompliance: In addition to any criminal penalties which may be imposed by a court of law, the City Council may suspend a license for up to 60 days, may revoke a license and/or may impose a civil fine on a licensee not to exceed $2,000.00 for each violation on a finding that the license holder or its employee has failed to comply with a statute, rule or ordinance relating to alcoholic beverages, non- intoxicating malt liquor or wine. B. Minimum Penalty: The purpose of this section is to establish a standard by which the City Council determines the civil fine, the length of license suspensions and the propriety of revocations, and shall apply to all premises licensed under this chapter. These penalties are presumed to be appropriate for every case; however, the council may deviate in an individual case where the council finds that there exist certain extenuating or aggravating circumstances, making it more appropriate to deviate, such as, but not limited to, a licensee's efforts in combination with the state or city to prevent the sale of alcohol to minors or, in the converse, when a licensee has a history of repeated violations of state or local liquor laws. When deviating from these standards, the council will provide written findings that support the penalty selected. When a violation occurs, the staff shall provide information to the City Council to either assess the presumptive penalty or depart upward or downward based on extenuating or aggravating circumstances. The staff shall notify the licensee of the information being considered and acted upon by the City Council. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, the following violations will subject the licensee to the following administrative penalties:
