AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 98-309
ESTABLISHING FINE SCHEDULE AND PENALTIES FOR
ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO COMPLIANCE VIOLATIONS
Purpose. The purpose of this Resolution is to establish a standard by which the City Council determines the amount
of civil fines, length of license suspensions and the property of revocations, and shall apply to all premises licensed
and individuals charged under the administrative citation ordinance. These penalties are presumed to be appropriate
for every case; however, the Hearing Examiner or City Council may deviate in an individual case where the Hearing
Examiner or City Council finds that there exists substantial reasons making it more appropriate to deviate, such as,
but not limited to, a licensee's efforts in combination with the State or City to prevent the sale of alcohol and tobacco
to minors. When deviating from these standards, the Council will provide written findings that support the penalty
selected.
2. Presumptive Penalties for Violations. The minimum penalties for convictions or violations must be presumed as
follows (unless specified, numbers below indicate consecutive day's suspension.).
The penalty for cumulative offenses set forth below relates to offenses occurring within a five year period.
