Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 13, 2007 Page 20 services to improve the process to make compliance checks more seamless before and after for businesses and the Police Department. Mayor Klausing thanked Mr. Gill for his candor, and willingness to pursue additional improvements in the process. Pust moved, Ihlan seconded, authorizing the Roseville Police Depart- ment to issue and administer the presumptive penalty as set forth in Section 302.15 for on-sale license holders who do participate in op- tional manager and server training for a second violation in thirty-six (36) months, with the mandatory minimum penalty being a $500.00 fine and a one day suspension; with the date for license suspension at the discretion of the Police Chief. Roll Call Ayes: Ihlan; Pust; Kough; Roe; and Klausing. Nays: None. India Palace Chief Sletner outlined the specifics of this compliance failure and staff's recommendation. Hardelv Singh, India Palace Assistant Manager Mr. Singh advised that he was speaking for the General Manager, who was out of the country. Mr. Singh advised that the compliance issue was created by confusion on the part of the General Manager and his interpretation of "optional" training. Mr. Singh noted that they had another location in Woodbury, the City's training was compulsory every six months, and that location had experienced no failures over the last six years. Mr. Singh noted that this misinterpretation was the fault of India Palace, and they would participate in the optional train- ing from now on. Discussion included the City Council's rationale for seeking better participation from businesses by making the training optional, rather than mandatory; and in an effort to make the training more meaning- ful to participants.
