Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 22, 2010 Page 15 At the request of Mayor Klausing, Acting Chief Mathwig addressed compliance checks at point-of--sale for underage consumption, with a citation written to the clerk as well as the business owner; and addressed how juvenile offenders were adjudicated in juvenile court and adults depending on their personal history and circumstances, with the judge basing his sentence on State Statute. Acting Chief Mathwig advised that the City did compliance checks for license holders in the City, and he was not aware of how license compliance provisions were handled for out-of--town delivery services. Councilmembers Pust and Roe asked the City Attorney to look into such out-of- town delivery services and how they were regulated specific to alcohol sales. Councilmembers Roe and Pust also indicated the need to further review State Sta- tute and City Ordinance as they specified fines for the individual making the sale as well as the business owner.

Ms. Rivers sought further clarification on the two-tier system for liquor stores versus restaurants; and asked for further consideration by the City Council in whether treatment of the businesses, based on their type, was equitable or not.
