-� Friday, October 28, 2005 John D. Gi�lez�, General Manager Green Mill Restaurant and Bar 145 Roseda,�e Center Roseville, MN 55113 Re: Liquor License Dear Mr. Gillen, This is my response to your appeal from the Police Chiefs August ��'� notice informing you of your failure to pass an alcohol compliance checic.

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 the server in question has paid her fine and received a formal written warning about serving under-age persons. In addition, you have retrained your front-o� the-stare staff. Finally, you indicate a desire to do more training. For the following reasons, I have decided to accept the mitigation testimony: .
