<br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: 5/6/2024 <br />Item No.: 7.g. <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br /> <br /> <br />Item Description: Consider Presumptive Penalty Approval - 2024 Alcohol Compliance <br />Check (Portillos) <br />1 <br />2 Background <br />3 In 2024, all businesses with a city liquor license were provided a letter announcing two citywide alcohol <br />4 compliance checks to be conducted before the end of the calendar year (Attachment 1). The letter <br />5 included information on the Roseville City Ordinance regarding the mandatory liquor licensee training <br />6 program and penalties for noncompliance. The following is related to the first round of alcohol <br />7 compliance checks, which occurred in March of 2024. <br />8 <br />9 On March 23, 2024, an underage compliance checker entered establishments holding a liquor license in <br />10 the city of Roseville, Minnesota, to conduct compliance checks. Upon conclusion of the checks, multiple <br />11 businesses failed (Attachment 2). <br />12 <br />13 Portillo's (CN 24010434) - The underage checker ordered an alcoholic beverage. The server then <br />14 checked the underage ID and provided alcohol to the underage checker. The server was issued an <br />15 administrative citation, which has not been paid. <br />16 <br />17 This is Portillo's second violation within 36 months (previous in November 2023). <br />18 <br />19 Officers met with each business in-person and advised them of the Roseville City Council hearing <br />20 date. This notification was also provided in writing (Attachment 3). Portillo's later provided the required <br />21 training documentation for their staff. <br />22 <br />23 Policy Objectives <br />24 The Roseville Police Department seeks Council approval to issue and administer the presumptive <br />25 penalty pursuant to City Code Section 302.15, for on-sale license holders for the second violation within <br />26 thirty-six (36) months. The mandatory minimum penalty shall be a two thousand dollar ($2,000.00) fine <br />27 and a five (5) day suspension. <br />28 <br />29 Racial Equity Impact Summary <br />30 Upon review of any potential racial equity impacts, staff notes that the citywide compliance checks, <br />31 subsequent fines, and suspensions are uniform and written into the city code. At this time, staff did not <br />32 identify a disproportionate racial equity impact. <br />33 <br />34 Budget Implications <br />35 Pursuant to City Code Section 302.15, the financial impact shall be a mandatory penalty of a two <br />36 thousand dollar ($2,000.00) fine and a five (5) day suspension issued to the on-sale license holder for <br />37 the second violation within thirty-six (36) months. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />Qbhf!352!pg!494 <br /> <br />
