This fine <br />may seem high for a first violation but he explained that an off -sale violation carries a <br />more serious penalty because there is more susceptibility to underage buying. <br />The business owner, Mr. Jason Snyder, was present and was advised that he would have <br />an opportunity to address the council on the matter at the liquor compliance hearing that <br />will immediately following this work session. <br />Item 6B — Extension of Time to Complete Review and Amendment of Local <br />Comprehensive Plan — Community Development Director Grochala explained that, as <br />the council was previously informed, the city is allowed to request an extension from the <br />Metropolitan Council that will allow a later submission (up to May 29, 2009) of the city's <br />Comprehensive Plan (the Plan). The city still needs to complete the jurisdictional review <br />and that is unlikely to be completed by December 31, 2008, the current deadline for <br />submission of the Plan. Therefore, staff is requesting that council authorize that an <br />extension request be submitted. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 6:05 p.m. <br />
