Thank you. �� "Amy Ihlan" <arr�y@briollaw,com> 4/3/2006 2:25 PM �� Dear Neal and Council, 1 want to confirm that the Liquor Citation issue will be on the agenda for April 10, as Mayor Klausing indicated last meeting, and to submit my questions again for legal opinions. My main concern at this point is that our ordinance (Roseville Code 302.15) has not been followed or enforced. I would like to focus first on the council's power and responsibility to impose the mandatory minimum penalties under the ordinance. 1 propose that the council should hold a public hearing and consider whether there is any basis for deviating from the penalties required under 302.15. 1 would appreciate any advice the city attorney has on how to do this. 1 would also like to request legal analysis on whether the city council is required to hold a public hearing to temporarily suspend a liquor license, or whether it would be possible to simply impose the mandatory minimum penalties in the ordinance without any council involvement, with any appeals going to court. 1 believe all of these are public policy issues that must be discussed at an open public meeting. But 1 would support an executive session if needed on other issues, to make sure all council members' questions and concerns get addressed. Thanks, .�ri7�. ----Origina[ Message----- From: Amy Ihlan Sent: Mon 3/2Q/2006 12;49 PM To: Neal Beets (Neal.Beets@ci.roseville.mn.us} Cc: margaret.driscoll@ci.roseviile.mr�.us; 'city.council@ci.roseville,mn.us' Subject: Request for addition of Liquor Citation Appeal Issues on April 10 agenda Dear Council. ��3��6
