RESOLUTION SUSPENDING THE CLUB ON-SALE INTOXICATING AND SUNDAY
LIQUOR LICENSE FOR AMERICAN LEGION, 6501 PORTLAND AVENUE SOUTH,
AND IMPOSING A CIVIL PENAL TV FOR FIRST TIME ALCOHOL COMPLIANCE
FAILURE
WHEREAS, American Legion ("Licensee") holds a Club On-Sale Intoxicating and
Sunday Liquor license from the City of Richfield; and
WHEREAS, on April 4, 2002, the City of Richfield Public Safety Department
conducted a compliance check of the Licensee's establishment and, during the compliance
check, an employee of the Licensee sold alcohol to a minor; and
WHEREAS, this is technically their second failed alcohol compliance check, but
because more than two years has elapsed since the previous failure, it serves as a first
failure. Their original first penalty was imposed by the Council at the October 11, 1999
meeting; and
WHEREAS, the Licensee appeared before the Richfield City Council on July 23,
2002 and admitted the violation; and the Licensee has stipulated to the suspension and
penalty imposed by this resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Richfield
as follows:
1. The Licensee's Club On-Sale Intoxicating and Sunday Liquor licenses are hereby
suspended for a period of two (2) consecutive days, commencing on a date to be
determined by the Public Safety Director, but to take place within 30 days of their
Council appearance.
2. A civil penalty of $500 is hereby imposed. On or before August 23, 2002, the Licensee
shall deliver a check or money order payable to the City of Richfield in the amount of
$500.
3. Meet with the Director of Public Safety to present an action plan to ensure future
compliance by August 23,2002; and,
4. One staff member, preferably the manager, must attend an alcohol compliance and
sales awareness presentation conducted by Public Safety staff within 30 days of their
Council appearance.
Passed by the City Council of the City of Richfield this 23rd day of July, 2002.
