HomeMy WebLinkAbout5O - 2010 Cigarette License Renewals ReVieWe<J~ Frank Boyles, Cijag r L---' MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: ISSUES: ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDED MOTION: DECEMBER 21, 2009 50 JANET RINGBERG, LICENSE CLERK CONSIDER APPROVAL OF 2010 CIGARETTE LICENSE RENEWALS Cigarette license renewal applications are due annually in December. At- tached to this agenda report is a list of the thirteen establishments requesting renewal of their cigarette licenses. The annual fee for cigarette licenses, as stated in the current City Fee Schedule, is $250.00. All applicants have provided completed applications and paid the $250.00 li- cense fee. The City has on file a copy of the educational materials required by the City ordinance for each applicant. The Prior Lake Police Department has reported no problems over the last four years except for the following: . In 2006 Narayan Gas & Groceries and Prior Lake Shell were cited for sell- ing cigarettes to minors. . In 2007 Captain Jack's was cited for selling cigarettes to minors. . In 2008 Narayan Gas & Groceries was cited for selling cigarettes to mi- nors. . In 2009 Narayan Gas & Grocieres was cited for selling cigarettes to mi- nors. In each case criminal charges were brought against the clerk and civil fines/suspensions were brought against the business. At its March 16, 2009, Council meeting, the City Council required Narayan Gas & Groceries to pur- chase an identification card reader to ensure that the age of all tobacco pur- chasers was being verified. Narayan Gas & Groceries complied with this re- quirement and provided proof of purchase of the equipment. The 2009 citation against Narayan Gas & Groceries is still pending in the court system. If the clerk is found guilty the city code provides that the license be revoked. Until then, under the presumption that the clerk is innocent until proven guilty, the cigarette license for Narayan Gas and Grocery as well as all renewal requests including those with the violations summarized above are recommended for renewal. The City Council has the following alternatives: 1. Adopt a motion as part of the consent agenda approving the cigarette licenses for 2010. 2. Deny one or more of the license requests. Staff recommends Council approve the 2010 cigarette license renewals as pa of the consent agenda. www.cityofpriorlake.com 'l?hon~!952;44-7;9800.IFa>< 952'.447.4245 CITY OF PRIOR LAKE 2010 CIGARETTE LICENSE APPLICANTS Captain Jack's Karen Sweet 3950 Green Heights Trail SW Prior Lake,MN 55372 (952) 440-2582 O'Malley's On Main PaulYeo 16211 Main Avenue SE PO Box 831 Prior Lake, MN 55372 (952) 440-8600 Dakota Liquors Kevin Bresnahan 14065 Commerce Avenue NE Prior Lake, MN 55372 (952) 447-6661 Prior Lake Shell Peter Flink 4805 Dakota Street SE Prior Lake, MN 55372 (952) 447-5286 Holiday Stationstore #198 Duane Hagedorn 16800 Duluth Avenue SE Prior Lake, MN 55372 (952) 447-5051 Shakopee Dakota Convenience Store Gloria Hellerud 14160 Wilds Parkway NW Prior Lake, MN 55372 (952) 233-2992 Holiday Stationstore #391 4460 Fountain Hills Drive NE Prior Lake, MN 55372 (952) 403-0377 Viking Liquor Barrel John Casey 16290 Highway 13 Prior Lake, MN 55372 (952) 447-2177 MGM Wine & Spirits 14173 Commerce Avenue NE Prior Lake MN 55372 (952) 449-9103 Village Liquor Cynthia Boegeman 16731 Highway 13 South Prior Lake, MN 55372 (952) 447-8830 Narayan Gas & Groceries Bhavna Shah 16176 Main Avenue SE Prior Lake, MN 55372 (952) 447-4005 The Wilds Golf Course Shannon Trout 2500 Wilds Parkway Prior Lake, MN 55372 (952) 445-3500
