These penalties are presumed to be appropriate for every case; however, the Council may deviate in an individual case where the Council finds that there exist substantial reasons making it appropriate to deviate, such as, but not limited to, a license holder’s efforts in combination with the State or City to prevent the sale of alcohol-related products to minors.

(3) If a license holder has appeared before the Council on three (3) previous occasions, and the current violation occurred within seven (7) years of the first appearance, the current violation will be treated as a fourth appearance.
