The LLPD has received this grant in the past, which allows the <br />police department to offset cost associated with conducting alcohol compliance checks. <br />MIPH will reimburse City of Lino Lakes thirty dollars per license check conducted. <br />Currently, there are nine businesses selling alcohol in City of Lino Lakes; therefore the <br />reimbursement amount would two hundred seventy dollars for fall 2011 and spring 2012 <br />compliance checks. <br />In order to comply with grant requirement, the LLPD will complete two alcohol compliance <br />checks of all businesses licensed to sell alcohol. This first compliance check must be <br />completed by December 15, 2011 and second compliance check must be completed <br />between January 1, 2012 and May 31, 2012. As required in the grant, the LLPD will send <br />a media release out regarding the compliance check and will send out a second media <br />release announcing the results of the compliance check once completed. <br />The LLPD is proud to partner with the MIPH to keep alcohol out of the hands of minors. <br />This grant will assist the police department in our continued efforts in this important <br />initiative. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1.
