/D A <br /> Item No. <br /> Type of Business: PH <br /> WK: Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; <br /> CA: Consent Agenda; CB:Council Business <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> To: Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Givonna Reed <br /> Item Title/Subject: Tobacco License Application for Tobacco Empire at <br /> 2563 '/2 Highway 10 <br /> Date of Report: November 22, 1999 <br /> On October 18th, 1999 I received a telephone inquiry from "Alex" regarding the <br /> application process for a new tobacco license. He indicated that he was calling <br /> on behalf of Abdul Wraidt who did not speak very good English. Within a couple <br /> hours I was visited by "John" who indicated that he was Alex's cousin and that he <br /> would be taking over the application process on behalf of his mother. <br /> When John submitted the application for a new tobacco license in the name of <br /> Nayfha Wraidt he explained that the insurance company named on the <br /> Certification of Compliance [with the]Minnesota Workers' Compensation Law , <br /> Morse Agency, Inc., had given him "some papers" but no actual insurance policy <br /> number. On October 22nd I called Morse Agency, Inc. to verify insurance <br /> coverage. I was informed by Dorie of Morse Agency, Inc. that, contrary to what <br /> was indicated on the license application, there was no insurance policy because <br /> a premium had never been paid. <br /> The Certification of Compliance [with the]Minnesota Workers' Compensation <br /> Law clearly states regarding insurance policy numbers that "This information is <br /> required by law, and licensing and permit to operate a business may not be <br /> issued or renewed if it is not provided and/or falsely reported. Furthermore, <br /> if this information is not provided or falsely stated, it may result in a $2,000 <br /> assessed against the applicant nt bythe Commissioner of the Department <br /> penalty g pp <br /> of Labor and Industry." <br /> In addition, on October 26th, 1999 the Chief of Police informed me that he was <br /> unable to confirm the existence of the applicant. <br /> Staff Recommendation: Deny application based on untrue statements and the <br /> inability to confirm information. <br /> U:\givonnar\COUNCIL\Staff Reports\Licenses\Tobacco\Tobacco Empire,Nayfha Wraidt, <br /> 2563.5 Hwy 10.doc 1 <br /> Created by Givonna Reed <br />
