�� ��,` � , � � _ � � Friday, October 28, 2005 Susan Mahon, Manager Roseville Post No. 7555 1145 Waodhill Drive Roseville, MN 5 5113 Re: Liquor License Dear M s . Mahon. This is my response to your appeal from the Police Chiefs August ��"� notice informing you of your failure to pass an alcohol compliance check. My response is based upon the entire record in this case, including the hearing on Tuesday, September 27�', with you and the VF�vV Commander. Based on that record, I make the following findings of facts. On August 12, 2005, your employee, Erin Elizabeth MeDonnaugh, was cited by the Roseville Police Department for serving alcohol to an under- aged individual. The VFW does not contest the fact that this violation took place. Your server did indeed provide alcohol to a minor. Accordingly, the Police Chief sent you a notice fining you $500 and suspending your liquor license for one-day. This is the penalty prescribed under the Roseville City Code. (Yourestablishment did not qualify for a lesser sanction under the City Code because you do not participate in the City's Optional Manager and Server Training Program. Participants in that Program are subject to lesser sanctions for liquor violations in return for licensees carrying out a robust and aggressive liquor training program for each employee who serves alcohol.) At the hearing you presented certain information in mitigation of the violation. Specifically, you explain that your server knew the Roseville officer performing the compliance check and she assumed the officer would not tolerate an under-age youth requesting alcohol. Therefore, your server assumed the individual was not under-age and she provided liquor without checking the individual's identification. For the following reasons, I have decided to accept the mitigation testimony: 2660 Civic Center Drive � Roseville, Minnesota 55113 651-792-ROSE � TDD 651-792-7399 � �nTww.cX.xoseville.mn.us
