Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 13, 2023 Page 3 Etten moved, Schroeder seconded, approving Lake Owasso Safe Boating Associa- tion's Request for a Permit from the Ramsey County Sheriff for a Water Ski Course on Lake Owasso for the 2023 Season. Roll Call Ayes: Groff, Strahan, Etten, Schroeder, and Roe. Nays: None c. 2022 Tobacco Presumptive Penalty Approval Speedway Deputy Chief Joe Adams briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Request for Council Action and related attachments dated February 13, 2023. Mr. Dan Paulzine, Area Leader for Speedway, explained that in August 2022, he became in charge of this particular location,which was prior to the actual violation. One of the things they have done is require all of the employees to go through recertification retraining through CBT's for both tobacco and alcohol and this will be done every three months going forward. The employee was terminated imme- diately after the violation. He advised there have also been some manager changes at that location and he was confident this will not be an issue going forward. Mayor Roe asked for clarification on the recertification of employees and if that happened after notification of the violation. Mr. Paulzine indicated it happened after notification, since December 2022 and recertification will be done quarterly going forward to make sure this does not hap- pen again. Public Comment Mayor Roe offered an opportunity for public comment with no one coming for- ward. Council Discussion Mayor Roe noted there is an alcohol violation as a part of this, and stated his un- derstanding that the suspensions would not be concurrent with each other, these would happen at different times. Deputy Chief Adams explained that is correct. These were two different violations for separate things calling for the suspension and would be dealt with on different days. He noted it does not appear for the off-sale that there will be a suspension for the first violation. If that did become the case, it would be on different days.
